Cross-Cultural Lesson Planning Between the United States and South Korea

Our chapter examines a cross-cultural learning project in which teachers from the United States and South Korea collaborated and shared feedback on writing lesson plans using asynchronous communication tools. In our documentation and discussion of participants’ perceived strengths and weaknesses in lesson planning, we found that their cross-cultural experiences facilitate collaborative lesson planning by fostering cross-cultural perspectives on teaching and provide insight into curricular ideas that have the potential to narrow the teaching gaps between countries.
