The National Dong Hwa University’s motto is "Of liberty, democracy, creativity, and excellence." In accordance with this belief, the aim of teacher education at NDHU is to produce dedicated educators who possess a solid theoretical foundation and practical teaching experience so that they can handle both the pragmatic and intellectual challenges in our ever-changing society.

Strategic Initiatives 

1. We are committed to developing teacher education programs that are able to fulfill the professional teacher standards established by the Ministry of Education.

2. We are committed to hiring instructors not only from the field of education, but also specialists in other areas from other colleges to prepare high quality teachers because teacher education is a university-wide responsibility.

3. We are committed to creating a wide range of career choices for program graduates by providing teacher licensure programs in the areas of special education, early childhood education, elementary education and secondary education.

4. We are committed to cultivating educators who are willing to devote themselves to facilitating inclusive learning environments by offering service-learning opportunities at the local charities in eastern Taiwan.
