Teachers' room is a central gathering place to exchange and communicate necessary information efficiently among all teaching staff.

Teachers' room aids teachers to develop collegial relationships with one another as they work in the company of colleagues with various years of teaching experience, subjects, assigned responsibilities, and personalities.

Teachers' room provides a safe and supportive environment to make sense of beginning teachers' questions and concerns without the fear of being judged.

True collaboration is possible because schools in Japan perceive teaching as a collective endeavor, not an individual endeavor, as teachers work together to discuss and share their work.

Japan’s teachers’ room reflects the long-term commitment to support new teachers’ professional growth. It is a growth model which values process, unlike the performance model that values product.
