Expansion of Lesson Study during 2009 - 2010

• To expand to other subjects such as Science and others (e.g., Mathematical science)

• To encourage successful economy to host Lesson Study workshop for more expansion

• To share experiences among APEC member economies by using effective means of communication supplementary to books or proceedings
