| Research Abstract |
The present school system is undergoing to change in Japan. We should consider a new school system and teachers' role taking into account current conditions and peoples' demand in changing society.
In this research I focused on the conditions of teachers' professional developement by comparing with the cases that I observed in U.S.A.
(1) Mentoring system adopting at New York City Board of Education is such a following one ; the retired excellent teachers help and advice the newly hired teachers in the workplace where the newly hired teacher work ,a few times every week.
(2) The cases which I observed and interviewed, at Stanford Univ. are two ;
(1) NBPTS certified teachers advice teachers who try to get the certification at the meeting every month.(2) a NBPTS certified teacher team up with a non-certified teacher in the same class and exchange their teaching experience , skill and opinion for brushing up their teaching skill.
Both cases shows that the collaboration of co-worked teachers is important to teachers professional development.
Based on this research, it is necessary that we should re-evaluate the function of "shokuin-situ" (a staffroom) where teachers have exchanged their educational opinions and experiments.
