Effective leadership among teachers is essential to produce a productive generation in the future. Various initiatives have been taken to improve teacher leadership but these efforts are focused on teacher leaders in service. Therefore, one of the approaches that can be taken is to introduce leadership elements as early as teacher preparation at the teacher preparation stage. In relation to that, this study aims to examine the development needs of a Competent Pre-service Teacher Leadership Model based on the views of student affairs officers from Institute of Teacher Education Malaysia (IPGM). In order to answer the research objectives, the qualitative method using interviews was used to two student affairs officers at the Malaysian Teacher Education Institute. Informants are selected based on several criteria such as involvement in student representative council as advisor and leadership experience. The data analyzed using thematic analysis report three leadership needs of the development of pre-service teacher the Malaysian Institute of Teacher Education, namely: (i) the need for the development of a model that can develop the competence of pre-service teachers, (ii) the need for the development of a model based on the consensus of expert opinion local, and (iii) the need for the development of a futuristic model. The findings of this study alert education stakeholders, especially the Malaysian Institute of Teacher Education, in making improvements to the policy and implementation of programs and initiatives to improve the competence of pre-service teachers at the teacher preparation level.
