Abstract: Teacher empowerment is a theory of teacher professional development that originated in Europe, America and other countries, and has had an important impact on the professional development of teachers in China. The current research on teacher empowerment and empowerment is mainly carried out from the three perspectives of power distribution, professional development and self-awareness. However, in the process of localization, there are problems such as unclear conceptual understanding, unclear theoretical foundation, non-standard model construction, and imbalanced application orientation. Re-examining the theoretical basis of teacher empowerment and empowerment, it is found that teacher empowerment and empowerment should be composed of two dimensions:"empowerment" and "enhancement". The core elements include professional autonomy, professional development rights, participation in decision-making, and sense of self-efficacy. In the future, theoretical research on teacher empowerment and empowerment should focus on "enhancement", and the practical orientation should emphasize technological empowerment with the improvement of teachers' information technology literacy as the core.
