A word from the Associate Dean, Professional Practice

The Professional Practice and Inquiry (PPI) 

The PPI course provides a meta-framework to develop pre-service teachers with a clear teacher identity, enabling them to reflect on their roles as educators, inquire about their own practices, and draw on theories and research to inform pedagogical approaches aimed at improving student engagement and learning. In these publications, pre-service teachers share how they assume ownership of their learning, recounting their reflective journey of "learning for teaching" and "learning from teaching." Each edition showcases the triumphs, challenges, and profound insights gleaned by pre-service teachers on their journey to become educators who prioritise the holistic development of their students. We believe that through these insightful sharings by our aspiring teachers, educators can resonate with their experiences and be inspired in their own teaching and learning endeavours.

We invite you to join us in a transformative endeavour by contributing your unique learning journey to our upcoming Professional Practice and Inquiry (PPI) publications. Your experiences, challenges, and triumphs in developing your teacher identity and reflective practice will not only inspire fellow educators but also serve as a guide for those embarking on a similar path. This carefully curated collection aims to cultivate a community of shared wisdom, offering invaluable insights for pre-service teachers in Singapore and beyond. Your narrative has the potential to illuminate the diverse landscape of the teaching profession, creating a rich tapestry of knowledge that empowers the next generation of educators. Come join us in celebrating the remarkable learning journey of pre-service teachers and making a lasting impact on the field of education.
