  Our Vision Our Mission Our Beliefs Our Values Our Strategies Our Location
In line with the Ministry of Education's vision of "Thinking Schools, Learning Nation", Teachers Network (TN) was officially launched on 30 April 1998. Thinking schools would require thinking teachers who are continuously learning and growing professionally and always seeking new and better ways to improve their practice. It was against this background that TN was conceptualised in 1997 to cater to the professional development of teachers.

Our Vision
  To build a fraternity of reflective teachers dedicated to excellent practice through a network of support, professional exchange and learning.
 
Our Mission
  To serve as a catalyst and support for teacher-initiated development through sharing, collaboration and reflection leading to self-mastery, excellent practice and fulfilment.
 
Our Beliefs
 

Reflection
We believe reflection is the key to meaningful learning. It generates new ideas, transforms minds and hearts and engenders growth.

Self-mastery
We believe that to pursue self-mastery is to grow in personal effectiveness. We provide opportunities for teachers to grow as persons and professionals and thus develop personal potentials.

Excellent Practice
We believe that excellent practice is the constant examination of our pedagogy, the willingness to engage in a variety of strategies and techniques and the continuous upgrading of our knowledge and skills.

Fulfilment
We believe that fulfilment is the greater job satisfaction enjoyed by teachers as a result of enhanced competence and confidence and the conviction of our role in moulding the future of our nation.

 
Our Values
"VOICE" is our internal compass as we strive to realise our vision. 

   

Our Strategies

 

We achieve our mission by,

Acting as catalysts :
We provide the impetus to fuel teacher development through our roles as facilitator, liaison officer, supporter, resource personnel, counsellor and collaborator. We create opportunities for teacher innovation and growth through consultation and partnership leading to increased synergy amongst teachers.

Providing support :
We bring together resources, information and expertise to support teachers efforts at achieving self-mastery, personal well-being and professional growth. We provide encouragement and recognition for excellent practice.

Facilitating teacher-initiatives :
Our programmes are for teachers, by teachers. They draw on the expertise and experience of the fraternity to facilitate personal and professional development through the provision of a platform to show good practice, sharing and collaboration.

Encouraging collaboration :
We facilitate the formation of networks for dialogue, sharing and collaboration. We liaise between various educational and related bodies to activate sharing, collaboration, action research and other partnerships in learning and growth.
