The Japan-U.S. Teacher Education Consortium (JUSTEC) was established under the aegis of AACTE (American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education), the biggest voluntary association of higher education institutions for teacher education in the U.S. in 1987. Through JUSTEC over the years, this article describes the teacher education movement in the U.S. and the AACTE influence in teacher education in the U.S. after a federal report "A Nation at Risk" in 1983 and "A Nation Prepared" in 1986. In the 1990's and early 2000’s, the major interests at JUSTEC annual meetings were on analyzing of TIMS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) and PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) results. After JUSTEC evolved as an independent organization of interested faculty and universities, hot topics of discussion were lesson study, edTPA, Teach for America, etc.
