Promoting the National Excellent Teachers Program serves as a crucial initiative and effective carrier for implementing the strategy of rejuvenating China through science and education in the new era, cultivating a large number of high-caliber primary and secondary school teachers, and consolidating the foundation of self-reliant cultivation of top-notch innovative talents. Based on the enrollment regulations of 30 "Double First-Class" universities selected in the first batch of National Excellent Teachers Program, this study explores the strategic significance, construction logic and future innovation of teacher education reform in China's leading universities. The research shows that the formation of National Excellent Teachers Program has resulted from the complex interplay of multiple factors, including national strategic demands, structural optimization in education, and quality enhancement initiatives. The construction logic and implementation of the program are jointly shaped by four key elements: the development of an integrated curriculum system, the deployment of high-level supervisors, the enhancement of diversified practical competencies, and the innovation of continuous undergraduate-graduate cultivation models. Based on the above analysis, this study outlines key go-vernance priorities and future directions for advancing the National Excellent Teachers Program from the system design, resource allocation, discipline layout and management evaluation.
