[DDN] Fwd: Looking for videos of teachers teaching

[Patsy Wang-Iverson]

Dear Jim,

The videos themselves are not all online, but there is a resource guide for
the TIMSS mathematics videos (grade 8: Australia, Czech Republic, Hong Kong,
Japan, Netherlands, Switzerland, U.S.) at:
www.rbs.org/international/timss/resource_guide

The guide identifies specific clips from 14 of the 28 public release videos
(four from each country).

These are lessons representative of each country - not necessarily exemplary
nor the worst.

The videos are available either from LessonLab (www.lessonlab.com) or
RBS (www.rbs.org).
Once you obtain a set you are free to reproduce them, as they are in the
public domain.

Various folks at Paterson School No. 2 should have the 4-CD set: Bill
Jackson, Lynn Liptak.

I also have videos on CD - again, of mathematics classes - at the elementary
level (Japanese classes). But I am at JFK on my way out of the country. I
could burn you a CD when I return. Let me know if you want it.  I have the
lesson plans for grades 2, 3, 5, 6 translated into English. Please send me a
message if you want them, and I will send them privately. I can't attach it
in a listserv message.
