We are happy to report that the conference Cooperative Learning in Japan and the World drew over 200 participants from 13 countries, mostly from Asia/Pacific and also from North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This international conference--cosponsored with JASCE, the Japan Association for the Study of Cooperation in Education, with support from Tyco Foundation and Chuyko Univesity--offered educators an opportunity to explore formal and informal educational models, strategies, and practices for successful cooperation in education. Conference participants had an opportunity to visit City of Inuyama School District, where the systematic and long-term implementation of cooperative learning has benefited from the vision and continuous input from Sugie Sensei--Chair of the local organizing committee for the conference. The languages of the conference were Japanese and English. To access the program, presentation abstracts, and papers, please visit the JASCE website at http://jasce.jp/conf0507prog_e.html
