Media Coverage [Interview] AERA Special Feature: “An ‘Information’ Subject in College Entrance Exams” I was interviewed for AERA’s special feature on “The ‘Information’ Subject in College Entrance Exams.” I didn’t know the full scope of the feature when I agreed to the interview, but it appears to be a three-page feature.
When the reporter told me that he was going to observe classes the previous day at Chiba University Elementary School with Mr. Koike and the next day at Sagamihara with Mr. Watanabe, I replied, “That’s an excellent choice.”
Your projects are wonderful! ^^
