The National Excellent K-12 Teacher Education Program (NETEP) is a beneficial component of the teacher education system with Chinese characteristics. As an innovative institutional arrangement, the program currently lacks detailed policies for implementation at the national level, nor are there mature overseas experiences to draw upon. Moreover, as some pilot universities do not have a faculty of normal education, how to promote the NETEP at a high level in non-normal universities has become an urgent practical issue to be solved. Based on the requirements for teaching team construction in the new era, this paper proposes the goal of cultivating master educators, guided by the spirit of master educators and the spirit of scientists. It outlines the implementation pathways and key measures for advancing the NETEP in non-normal pilot universities in terms of development concepts, mechanisms, training models, and training systems. The findings may serve as practical references for similar pilot universities and provide valuable insights for the decision-making of relevant administrative departments.
