The presenters were:
Edmund Lim (Principal of Huamin Primary School, Singapore)

Pete Dudley speaks during the Symposium
This symposium focused on two main areas of enquiry :
- What do teachers learn from lesson study? How should teachers’ learning processes be explained? What aspects take priority in Lesson Study in different countries?
- How does Lesson Study support teachers’ professional development? How does this develop beyond individual teachers to whole-school policies and beyond into school networks?
Each of the presenters described the development in their own countries and the discussant (Airi Rovio-Johansson, University of Gothenburg Sweden) invited questions and comments from the audience in what was an informative and lively discussion.
