IMPULS-Lesson Study Alliance 2026 Lesson Study Immersion Program The program offers educators a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in authentic mathematics Lesson Study in Japan. Participants will observe several mathematics lessons, Teaching Through Problem Solving (TTP), developed through Lesson Study in elementary schools, and observe how Japanese teachers conduct their post-lesson discussions. All research lessons and post-lesson discussions will be simultaneously translated into English by experts in mathematics teaching and learning. In addition, participants will have opportunities to interact with teachers, students, and education professors from schools and universities in Japan. IMPULS Immersion programs have been offered annually since 2012 (except 2020 & 2021). Over 450 educators from 15 countries have participated.
