Abstract

Based on the understanding of the ecology background, the ecological system of Teacher Development (TD) is constructed and the influential factors, such as the natural, social environment, regulatory environment and the physiological and psychological environment, which have an effect on TD, are analyzed in the present study. Besides, with the combination of the ecological characteristics of TD, The sustainable model for TD is proposed. In accordance with the ecological principles of TD and with the help of group dynamics, TD community is constructed and TD has been divided into stages according to ecological evolution law. With the application of the “flowerpot effect”, platform for TD has been provided and the researchers are endeavoring to explore the sustainable ecological TD.
