The Center for In-Service Teacher Education in the College of Education of Seoul National University was established in 1954 as the first in-service teacher education institute in Korea with the aim of cultivating teachers’ expertise.
The Center has provided various types of training programs such as general, job, qualification, and special ones and sought to foster the ties with the school education field. The Center will continue to develop and provide in-service teacher education programs to actively respond the future education changes and to properly meet the needs from the school education field. By doing that, the Center is expected to continue to contribute to the empowerment of teachers’ competence and to become an internationally renowned center for in-service teacher education.
