【摘要】 本文主要评介美国教师联盟(American Federation of Teachers，AFT)的发展历程，对该组织的成因进行分析，概述其组织结构及其功能，以及运作机制和发展的趋势。AFT在近百年的历程中，从无到有，从小到大，已成为可以与全美教育协会(National Education Association)相媲美的教师群众组织。AFT之所以具有魅力和影响力，是因为其秉持工会取向和专业取向，在努力提高教师社会地位和权益、提高教师工资福利待遇的同时，努力为基础教育服务、提升教师的专业水平和整体素质，因而受到广大教师会员的支持和厚爱。本研究的目的不光是评介AFT组织的基本概况，而在于为我国教师教育提供一份宝贵的参考资料，尤其是为我国新一轮课程改革中教师发展和教师教育等方面提供可借鉴的经验和可参照的思想资源。AFT的专业取向是值得学习和仿效的，建立具有专业功能的教师群众组织是符合我国国情的，它既能够减轻教育行政部门的负担，又能够开发和利用各种社会资源，全面提高各级教师的专业水平和整体素质。这对于我国基础教育来说具有理论的价值和实践的意义。更多还原
