Taipei Teachers’ In-Service Education Center was previously set up in 1980 at the former site of the Yangmingshan Administrative Bureau. It was officially founded on Teacher’s Day, September 28, in 1981. In 1982, it used the buildings of Rixin Elementary School as its offices until its own buildings were finished in the following year. Then it moved to its current site and began the delivery of teachers’ continuing professional development programs.
This center is aimed to provide a permanent place for providing both school teachers and administrators of all levels in Taipei City with in-service education programs in accordance with the need of educational and professional development. The center in itself is located in the foot of Yangmingshan, and then it provides teachers with an elegant learning environment which allows participants to be fully engaged in the education program.
Our participants will be enlightened and empowered through diverse discussion with academics, practitioners, and also through practical practices and presentations. Through these educative learning practices, our participants as transformative intellectuals would be able to put theories into practice as they’re teaching. Through which our students benefit greatly from such quality teaching. Overall, we seek to provide teachers with the opportunity of continuing professional development, developing professional learning communities so as to earn their teaching professional status.
