Rezensionen

"Suzuki's publication of comprehensive rescarch on SLC and lesson study in Japan is one of the most valuable accomplishments and a worthwhile attempt to disseminate Japanese school reform overseas from the perspective of action research today. From this perspective, this book is not only important as an
outstanding study that meets high academic standards but will also be of extreme value as SLC and lesson study gain international attention and expand globally."
