Abstract

The background of this research is based on the higher level of expectations being placed upon mid-career teachers observed throughout certain regions of Japan where a large number of experienced teachers are now about to retire. For this reason, mid-career teachers, who are small in number, are now required to take charge of school research and also provide support to young teachers to a greater extent. This research hence highlights and analyzes the prospect of introducing teacher-to-teacher mentoring and coaching, which are ones of the directions and ideas designed for the development of a teachers' capacity, and to identify how training programs for mid-career teachers can be conducted effectively. In the course of this initial procedure, I inspected the actual outcomes of mentoring programs performed at Japanese schools conducted by Mid-level leaders, by utilizing model charts and check lists which I developed. By doing this, I attempted to propose the specific mentoring performance that is required to be demonstrated by Mid-level leaders and that seems also appropriate to various practices seen at Japanese schools. For the second procedure, I referred to the results of overseas research projects that examine training programs designed to improve teachers' mentoring and coaching performance, such as peer coaching program at school and training programs for mid-career teachers on National College for Leadership of Schools and Children's Services in UK, and In-service Training Programs on New Teacher Center (Santa Cruz, CA) in US. Lastly, I improved the model charts by taking into account the outcomes of the previous two procedures in order to establish effective training programs that enable Mid-level leaders to improve their mentoring performance.
