Japanese and American educators will compare school reform efforts and classroom techniques during a visit by eight Japanese teachers and administrators to Washington State University’s College of Education. The Japanese will visit Pullman school classrooms to observe and teach on Friday, Oct. 18, and Monday, Oct. 21, said Donald B. Reed, program coordinator.
The Japanese educators, from Nishinomiya, a Spokane-sized city near Osaka, are here as part of a cross-cultural partnership established in 1987. The partnership, between the WSU College of Education and the Nishinomiya School District, is the first and only collaborative relationship established between an American education college and a Japanese school district.
