When George Zhou visited a high school in Japan as part of a six-week trip to Nagoya University, he was struck by the collaborative approach of the teachers.
“When the school principal led me to a large open room, I was astonished by what I saw,” said Dr. Zhou.
Rather than sitting and working independently, Zhou saw teachers sharing resources and moving around the room to talk to their colleagues.
