The Quality Teaching Tool (QTT) is the first pedagogical tool designed to support teachers’ self-evaluation and self-reflection as Early Childhood (EC) educators in Singapore. It provides a common language for educators on what constitutes quality teaching for children aged two to six years old based on local and international research, theories and principles.

Developed in alignment with the Skills Framework for Early Childhood (SFw EC) and our local learning and development frameworks i.e. Early Years Development Framework (EYDF) and Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) Framework, the QTT is supported by scientific empirical evidence on teaching strategies that are associated with positive developmental and learning outcomes.

It supports educators in their professional development to identify their strengths and areas of growth in their practices, pedagogies and interactions with children
