It is quite important to empower teachers’ quality and capacity to enforce school education. To increase the number of “capable teachers” it is crucial to clarify the necessary quality of teacher. In this dissertation, good teachers’ recognition system of Japan and US would be compared. The difference of needy quality of both countries would be also compared. In Japan, only the principle can nominate a good teacher and write a letter of recommendation. The recommended teachers are screened by the board of education of cities and that of prefectures. As a result hundreds of teachers are recognized as “best teachers”. Teachers’ recognition system is not well known by the people. In the US, anyone can recommend any teacher as National Teacher of the Year (NTOY) and the finalist is only one person. Each year’s NTOY Appear on TV and give many lectures in and out of the country. He or she plays a role of spokesman. Japan needs more flexible system and should make effort the teachers recognition system well known. Japanese NTOY should contribute more to new teachers and incapable teachers.
