PROFESSIONAL
LEARNING AT NIE
The National Institute of Education, Singapore believes in lifelong learning. In alignment with NIE’s mission
to excel in Teacher Education, the range of professional development programmes and courses offered by NIE
to meet the needs of our various stakeholders is instrumental in enabling the fulfilment of this mission. In addition,
one main feature of NIE’s Teacher Education Model of the 21st Century is the consi deration of teachers’ needs
on an enhanced pathway of professional learning (PL). We believe our professional learning programmes for
teachers are instrumental in meeting teachers’ aspirations.
Our programmes are tailored to the learning needs of school teachers as well as educators and professionals
working in various educational settings. In particular, we have six focus areas in our programmes and courses
to:

These areas of focus will enable our teachers to advance
and master the set of Teacher Competencies they have
attained since their graduation from their initial teacher
preparation programmes. In addition, these programmes
are also designed with the MOE Teacher Growth Model
(TGM) in mind, providing learning opportunities for the
ethical educator, the competent professional, the
collaborative learner, the transformational leader and the
community builder. We continue to provide quality teaching
and learning to enable our teachers in their learning
journeys through three key modes of PL.
CERTIFICATION PROGRAMMES
NIE offers a suite of Certificates, Diplomas, and Advanced
Diplomas that cater to the range of professional needs of
Singapore educators. These structured programmes are
grounded in continuing life-long learning principles to meet
the career needs of practising teachers and educational
professionals in a changing education sector.
STAND-ALONE PROFESSIONAL
LEARNING COURSES
Apart from Certification programmes, NIE offers two
categories of stand-alone PL courses. These can be
generic in-service courses designed in response to
contemporary policy, curriculum and pedagogy that are
relevant to teachers’ aspirations and the mission of
MOE. Another type of stand-alone course is the in-service
course taught at a graduate level that provides learning
experiences to teachers. This is done on a ‘modular’ basis
to enable them to learn at their own pace, without first
having to register for a master’s programme. This enables
teachers to accumulate academic credits for consideration
of admission to higher certification programmes.
CUSTOMISED WORKSHOPS
In addressing the needs of our stakeholders, NIE often
responds to requests from educators to run customised
workshops. In order to provide to prospective educators
who require customised training,p we have included a
section on the areas of learning for customised school-
based workshop in this catalogue.
In short, NIE is committed to providing relevant,
responsive, rigour-tested, practice-proven, evidence-
informed and technology-mediated knowledge solutions
and innovations in educational policy, process and practice
to meet organisations’ and individuals’ professional needs.
