The purpose of this study is to illustrate the process of how teachers perform the tasks they created for the Organization Development of schools. In recent years, the study of Organization Development of schools started in Japan (e.g., Sako 2006). In this area of study, however, the processes involved with teachers perform tasks related to grades and classrooms is not explained clearly enough. This study was conducted with respect to Organizational Development in private elementary and junior high schools. This is practical research that tries to reveal the relationship between how teachers create and perform their tasks. I observed the following points: (1) if teachers gain a "Clear Image of Practice for School Goals (CIPSG)", they undertake action for their tasks; (2) if teachers' CIPSG are modified (M-CIPSG), their task performances are modified; and (3) task performance, continuation, and modification are influenced by being aware of the school's educational goals.
