Since 5 years ago, we have been developing a "unified educational improvement system for a local area", whose purpose is to improve classroom practices at all schools in Naruto City. One of the main characteristics of the system is that it involves some lectures seminars and research activities of Naruto University of Education in the process of the schools' improvement. In this paper, we give an overview of the system and describe the model of the process of its construction. We also describe the essential characteristics of the process as follows : (1) the system is based on personal organic collaboration ; (2) we have expanded our personal collaboration as a support system for the school teachers ; (3) we put emphasis on the formation of an affirmative self-regulated community ; and (4) both school teachers and university staff work as equal partners to educate the students (i. e., the learners are mediators of the relationship).
