Tokyo Gakugei University, a national university corporation, is collaborating with Kobe Shinwa University and Teach for Japan, a certified NPO, to carry out the “Recurrent Project for the Development of Teachers and Educational Support Human Resources.”
Currently, schools are suffering from a shortage of human resources. On the other hand, there are many people in society who are highly educated and highly motivated. In order to connect such social demand and supply, we will provide information on the specialized qualities and skills needed as teachers and educational support personnel in the coming era, targeting those who aim to be active in the education field, mainly in schools. We have developed programs that foster skills through a wide variety of curriculums and support job creation. This is a collaboration between our university, Kobe Shinwa
University, which has a track record of hiring many teachers in its correspondence education department, and Teach For Japan, a certified non-profit organization that has a great track record in providing employment support for those without a teaching license to work in schools. This is a high-quality recurrent program for working adults to teachers. It is characterized by lectures where students from various backgrounds learn about contemporary educational issues, and a practical program that incorporates practical training at elementary and junior high schools.
The following information has been published on this program’s website as a report on the results for fiscal year 2023.
