This paper addresses itself to the historical development and different characteristics and functions of different teacher organizations in Germany. Different historical origins and various perceptions of teaching occupation have resulted in the formation of different types of teacher organization, and thus adopting different strategies for promoting teachers' social status and their interests. Three basic types of teacher organizations can be observed in Germany. The first type can be characterized as the associations of safe guarding member's interests. The second type is organized mainly for exchange of information of teaching subjects between members with a view to improving teaching methods. The third type of teacher organizations has the political objectives in support of their affiliated political parties. Among the teacher organizations, the Gewerkschaft Erziehung und Wissenschaft (GEW) and the Deutscher Philologenverband (DPhV) are the largest two in Germany, representing two different orientations of teacher organizations. The GEW is more union-oriented and has recently claimed its right of taking industrial action for protection of their interests. The DPhV emphasizes its professionalism character and prefers the coordinated efforts through deliberation with the authorities concerned for safeguarding teachers professional rights.
