Guided by its overarching philosophy to empower pre- and in-service teachers to become reflective practitioners, the programmes aim at producing graduates who are able to:
- demonstrate a solid foundation in the integration of theory and practice in education;
- apply relevant pedagogical content knowledge for effective and innovative teaching that meets the needs of a knowledge-based and technological era;
- foster students’ whole-person development and empower them with generic skills and a global mindset to cope with challenges in an increasingly complex and competitive environment;
- embrace diversity, equity and inclusivity in their professional practice to maximize students’ potential;
- promote excellence in education through transformative practice and effective collaboration with key stakeholders; and
- show professional commitment through upholding professional ethics and values, pursuing continuing professional development, and being good role models for students.
