Gakugei University
Today we visited Gakugei University – a university that has a large teacher education program. We met with faculty members to learn more about Japanese teacher certification and training programs. Then, our group presented similarities and differences between the U.S. system and the Japanese system. Lastly, we visited with faculty members and students for a question and answer session.After our trip to the University, we drove to Akishima and checked into our hotel. Several members of the Akishima Board of Education were waiting for us and welcomed us to the city. It was amazing!
Our hotel, Forest Inn Showakan, is one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in! The only problem with the hotel is that I don’t have internet access in my room.
For dinner I had noodles and seafood tempura. For dessert we had green tea ice cream. It was very tasty!
When I arrived back at the hotel, I was amazed to see that my host family in Akishima (the people I will stay with next weekend) had flowers and a card delivered for me. Wow, how thoughtful! I can’t wait to meet them!

Hello Jennifer...when you have an opportunity after your return to America and if it is not inconvenient, I would be very interested in a copy of the list you created about the similarities and differences between US and Japanese teacher certification and training programs.
Sure, I will try to get that to you. Please send me your address.
