His work to help teachers improve teaching and learning by focusing on each child’s growth has been very popular among Japanese schools.

This lecture is part of a two-week visit by Prof. Kobayashi, late September to early October at DePaul University, to extend his Lesson Study research to US schools where lesson study has been implemented.
