K-5 Common Core Math places rigorous demands on teachers and school districts. You have begun the implementation process and it continues to be challenging. Now it’s time to develop the knowledge and tools you need to make your transition to these new standards successful. Lesson Study is perhaps the most valuable tool you can add to your PLC toolkit. Singapore is not only a world leader in K-5 mathematics, but also fully embraces the concept of PLC and Lesson Study, which have been instrumental in their international success. The Team at Progressive Classroom Designs is thrilled to be able to provide educators in the United States a rare opportunity to learn from one of Singapore’s finest educators – Dr. Yeap Ban Har.

and teacher professional development. He spent ten
