The first time I asked a Japanese principal how to build a good climate forlesson study at a school, he mysteriously answered "volleying a beachball." It was the kind of answer that eventually became very familiar; teachers develope good working relationships in many ways-practicing for a game ofbeachball volleyball against the PTA, planning the teachers' skit for the schoolfestival, or planning the 30 days a year of school-wide activities such as hiking,school trips, sports day, and so forth (Lewis, 1995). Japanese elementary teachers routinely consult each other on lessons in the teachers' room (where teachers' desks are located, arranged by grade level), and they routinely take care of each other's classes, since substitutes are not hired for short-term absences (Bjork, 2000; Sato, 1996; Sato & McLaughlin, 1992; Rohlen &LeTendre, 1996; Shimahara & Sakai, 1995).
