　Today, the busyness and stress of teachers has become a major issue. One of the factors is the issue of student guidance. In the background, "individuality of work", which is an organizational characteristic of elementary schools, have been criticized, and “ Organizational Efforts” are promoted. How are these school organizational reforms accepted and operated at school? What kind of influence does it have on the working styles of teachers in school? And, can it really help relieve the busyness and stress of teachers? In order to reveal these questions, we examined a case of elementary school starting organizational approach to an issue in student guidance. As a result, firstly, there are issues of children with sudden and impulsive behavior in this case, teachers are feeling burdened. For this issue, teachers set up organization called "School Learning Support Committee", and transform their organization so that it could support for children flexibly. Secondly, it was shown that the organizational efforts reduced the burden on the classroom teachers’ tasks and could help optimize teacher’s workload. On the other hand, it should be noted that as the organizational efforts permeate, the territories where the classroom teachers can work autonomously will be cut and the hierarchy in the school organization will be strengthened.
