| Research Abstract |
A Comparative analysis was made between Initial Teacher Educations at OKU and ECU. The process of ITT and the curriculum were focal points. In both institutions, 128 credits were common requirements for BEd including 33 credits for general education, 32 credits for foundation subjects, 24 credits for subject studies and 28 credits for elementary education subjects, while most universities in Japan required 36 credits for general education and 59 credits for subjects related to teacher's license. It should be noticed that ECU requires more professional subjects related to teaching job than OKU. In addition to that, for the entry to the teacher course, 2.5 of GPA was needed and for the entry of the graduate course, 2.5 of GPA plus 3.0 of GPA for education related subjects were required before the entrance testing.

On top of it, the existence of "school nurse" and the program for them were quite different from the American notion of the hospital nurse stationed at school.
It should be noticed that TESOL program for non-English speakers putting focus on Competence Goal was quite different from the Japanese teaching focusing too much on the language part neglecting the cultural aspect of them.
Also the education policies especially on children's academic performance were analyzed. The field of the research was North Carolina and analysis was made for the policies before NCLB and after NCLB. We tried to make clear the background of NCLB and testing fever related to NCLB. Less
