Additionally, this book provides new perspectives on educational reform in the U.S., since many current issues and programs focus on notions of community, collaboration, and systemic reform, all of which are central to understanding Japanese teaching-learning processes in schools. 410 0$aRoutledgeFalmer studies in international and comparative education. 606 $aEducation, Elementary$zJapan 606 $aEducational change$zUnited States 606 $aEducation$xSocial aspects$zJapan 615 0$aEducation, Elementary 615 0$aEducational change 615 0$aEducation$xSocial aspects 676 $a372.0952 700 $aSato$b Nancy Ellen.$01543610 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783881603321 996 $aInside Japanese classrooms$93797173 997 $aUNINA
