Transforming for the 21st century – Walking
the Talk
The success of NIE TE21 Model ultimately lies in the
effective implementation of the recommendations put
forward and the sustainable impact of any programme
innovations and new developments in curriculum,
pedagogies, and assessment. To gear up for the
transformation process ahead, NIE as a community has
to turn inwards and reflect on the necessary change of
mindsets, approaches, systems and technologies that are
required to turn best intentions into action, and achieve
a concerted synergy of excellence across the institute.
This institutional change has to be achieved through the
following initiatives:• Evidence-based,research-informed improvements to
teaching and learning
• Academic Quality Management
• Faculty professional development
• Infrastructure and systems to support learning
This transformative endeavour where 21st Century
teachers call for 21st Century teacher educators
requires strong reserves of self belief and supported by
the appropriate resources to reach the destination 2012
as mapped out by the 3:3:3 Roadmap.
