With disruptions such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic drastically changing our lives and challenging all nations to rethink our current paradigms of teaching and learning and paradigms of living and working, the world needs to educate our young to be future-ready in more deliberate ways. Future-ready learners need to have a lifelong learning mindset that is instilled with the right values, attributes, skills, competencies and knowledge so as to ensure that their nation survives upcoming disruptions and crises and thrives amidst and in spite of the great challenges faced. Singapore is learning to adapt to the fast-changing and unpredictable landscape, seeking solutions to succeed beyond the difficulties and seizing opportunities amidst the myriad challenges faced. Drawing lessons from international best practices while contextualising them to our local needs and developing our own brand of innovations, teacher education at the National Institute of Education (NIE) anchors itself in taking a values-driven, evidence-informed and future-focused approach, building upon the past foundations. This article will detail how Singapore’s sole teacher preparation institute is rethinking teacher education by seeking to articulate the archetype of the future-ready teacher, provide greater learner agency and flexibility and develop interdisciplinary programmes, and reimagining, restructuring and streamlining teacher education programmes. Ultimately, the aim is to nurture teacher educators, teachers, students and the entire education ecosystem to be future-ready.

随着第四次工业革命 (4IR) 等破坏和 COVID-19 大流行等危机彻底改变我们的生活并挑战所有国家重新思考我们当前的教学和学习范式以及生活和工作范式，世界需要教育我们的年轻，以更深思熟虑的方式为未来做好准备。面向未来的学习者需要有一种终身学习的心态，这种心态被灌输正确的价值观、属性、技能、能力和知识，以确保他们的国家在即将到来的混乱和危机中幸存下来，并在面临巨大挑战的情况下蓬勃发展。新加坡正在学习适应快速变化和不可预测的环境，寻求解决方案以克服困难并在面临的无数挑战中抓住机遇。国家教育学院 (NIE) 的教师教育从国际最佳实践中吸取教训，同时将它们与我们当地的需求联系起来并发展我们自己的创新品牌，将自己定位于采取以价值观为导向、以证据为依据和以未来为中心的方法，建立在过去的基础上。本文将详细介绍新加坡唯一的教师预备学院如何通过阐明面向未来的教师原型、提供更大的学习者能动性和灵活性、开发跨学科课程以及重新构想、重组和简化教师教育课程来重新思考教师教育。最终，目标是培养教师教育者、教师、学生和整个教育生态系统，为未来做好准备。
