Abstract:

Inter-school exchange among teachers is essentially a re-adjustment of the person-organization fit between teachers and schools. The survey shows the degree of the fit between some primary and secondary schools’ teachers and school organizations is relatively high on the whole, but it still needs to be improved. Based on the analysis of the person-organization fit theory, and combined with the current situation of the fit, inter-school communication between urban and rural teachers can take the following implementation paths: strengthen the support for rural schools, and improve the needs-supplies fit of urban teachers who will be exchanged to rural schools; implement a composition pattern of the exchange team based on core teachers and excellent principals, and supplemented by ordinary teachers; disclose the information of exchanging teachers and of the schools receiving them, and promote two-way choices; restructure the person-organization value system to create an organizational atmosphere of democracy, harmony, mutual assistance and endeavor; build a platform for teachers’ growth relying on core teachers, and improve needs-supplies fit and demands-abilities fit between rural schools and teachers, in order to achieve a win-win situation for the development of the exchanging teachers and schools.

Key words: inter-school exchange between urban and rural teachers, person-organization fit, educational equilibrium
