A Place of
Heart......A Field Study of Leadership, Education and
Instruction in Japan
This two-week excursion into Japanese
culture and its internationally recognized K-12 educational
system provides a revealing look into an
exemplary system of education. Japan is currently engaged in
extensive educational reforms. In addition to maintaining high
standards for academic excellence, Japan’s reform is focused on developing
individuality and creativity, and cultivating emotionally well-rounded human beings.
Participants in this study tour will
explore elementary, middle and high schools in both urban and
rural locales, meet educational leaders from throughout the
system, investigate leader and teacher preparation, and learn
from university and Ministry of Education officials.
Interspersed throughout the study tour will be opportunities to
meet with Japanese leaders, teachers, students and parents
to learn first hand how the system works. The tour includes a
visitation to a rural elementary school and an
overnight stay in a remote hot springs guesthouse.
