Transcript of Singapore Math through Lesson Study
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.
PRESENTER: Dr. Yeap Ban Har is an established name in mathematics education
and teacher professional development. He spent ten
years at Singapore’s National Institute of Education training
pre-service and in-service educators. A leading educator, speaker and trainer Ban Har has authored dozens of text
books, math readers and assorted titles for teachers. He has been a keynote speaker at international conferences, and is currently the Principal of the Marshall Cavendish Institute – the professional development division of Singapore’s #1
education publisher. Ban Har is passionate about early
numeracy, problem solving and teacher professional
development.
