Abstract: Meaningful development in a society requires a sound teacher education. The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) is saddled with the responsibilities of regulating the teaching profession in Nigeria, and it plays a pivotal role in regulating and ensuring quality control of the teaching profession across the country. It promotes partnerships with teachers' capacity building organizations across the country through providing guidelines for accreditation of programmes to enable for harmonization, supervision, monitoring, and evaluation and most importantly, to enable participants in such programs to get their status updated in the TRCN database for the purpose of renewing their teaching license. Self-help initiatives empowered by interested individuals collaborates and creates space for teacher autonomy to influence a future vision on teaching, and help build teachers' capacities in emerging issues. The organizations include "One Million Teachers," "SEED Care & Support Foundation," "SCHOOLINKA," "Schoola," "SabiTeach," "TY Danjuma Foundation," "TeacherX" and a host of others. This study focuses on the various self-help initiatives by well-meaning individuals across the country and how TRCN accreditation is changing the trajectories for teachers in Nigeria. The findings will enrich advocacy tools in advocating for consideration for more individuals to venture into system strengthening in education. [For the full proceedings, see ED666619.]
