Introduction
Teaching is a responsible profession the world over. The status of teacher has been comparable
in all parts of the globe, hence each year, There is a celebration of the WORLD TEACHER’S DAY!
This alone would tell us, the recognition and honor given to the best profession of all:
TEACHING. A teacher is an extra-ordinary person in whose hands lies the future of the world, hence
any teacher regardless of the country of origin should be a GLOBAL TEACHER or a TEACHER of
the WORLD.
Thus you, too, should have qualities, skills, knowledge, views, with wider breadth and deeper
sense because you, too, will be a global teacher.
This experiential learning Episode focuses on the global teacher.

My Concrete Experience

Activity 1 – the Filipino Global Teacher

Let us begin with ourselves, the Filipino teacher. Why are Filipino teachers doing
very well in classrooms and schools outside our country? Many of them are awarded as
exemplar teachers, best teachers, and model teachers. They are honored by the school,
parents, and community as well. Would you like to be a global teacher too someday?

A Filipino teacher should be equipped with personal and professional qualities

and competencies of the Effective Teacher. These competencies are enshrined in the
National Competency-Based Teacher standards (NCBTS) of the Philippines.

Let us see, what competencies our Filipino public school teachers possess in
terms of the domains and strands of the NCBTS-TSNA.

Here are the steps:

1. Request for an interview on any public school teacher (Elem or High School)
2. Ask her/him about his/her Individual Profile on the NCBTS-TSNA tool of the
DepED.
3. Ask for information on the following:
a. In which of the seven domains do you find yourself HIGH?
b. In which of the seven domains you find yourself LOW?
c. In which strand, are you an expert? Experienced? Developing or Beginning?
4. Record the answer on the Matrix below:

Activity 2 - Global Teacher the World Over

Activity 1 describes the competencies that a global Filipino Teacher should

possess. Now, we need to also know, the competencies required of other teacher from
other countries of the world.

Since we cannot travel physically to other countries, we can reach these places
through the use of modern technology like surfing the world wide web, interview and
use of other sources of information.

Choose two countries other than the Philippines. Search for the personal and
professional competencies required of the teachers in that particular country. You may
also interview a Filipino teacher who has taught in this country.

Be guided with the matrix given below

MY OBSERVATIONS
1. Based on your professional interview of the Filipino Teacher on the competencies of the
national standards for teachers, has the teacher met the requirements? Explain.
2. If the NCBTS is the measure of a global teacher, can the teacher you interviewed meet the
challenges of global education? Why? Why not?

3. Are there similarities or differences among teachers in other countries in terms of standard
requirements of a professional teacher? Explain your answer?

4. Would Filipino teachers be comparable to their fellow teachers in other countries? Explain your
answer.
MY REFLECTIONS
Indeed, becoming a global teacher requires certain standards. As observed, there are more
similar expectations of teachers, the world over.

As a pre-service teacher education student, how do you see yourself, ten years from now vis a
vis the other teachers from all over the world?

Can you meet the challenges of being a global teacher?

My Affirmed Concepts

After undergoing this, experiential Learning Episode, what prior learning in the previous
courses have been affirmed?

Identify at least three concepts about the global teacher.

The concepts 1 have learned before and affirmed now include the following:

Concept 1.

Concept 2.

Concept 3.
MY FUTURE APPLICATION
How would you prepare yourself to become a global teacher?

code of Ethics for Professional Teachers. In addition, teachers must continuously grow in the
profession by undertaking continuing professional development activities.

My Concrete Experience
Find the professional teacher in your neighborhood or a school. Conduct an interview with the
teacher by asking the following questions;

1. Where did you graduate your degree? When?

2. How did your university prepare you to become a good teacher?

3. When did you pass the Licensure examination for teachers? What was your passing rate?

4. When did you start teaching in the public school?

5. What makes you happy as a teacher?

6. What disappointments you as a teacher?

7. What professional development activities/trainings have you participated in?

8. Are you a member of a professional organization? What is the name of the organization?

9. As a professional teacher, what Code of Conduct do you strictly follow? Can you name the
specific behavior that should be followed to the utmost?
10. What kind of teacher would you dream to become before you retire? Do you have a career
path? Describe what kind of professional teacher you are along the timeline presented below:
describe the point as; beginning Teacher/ Inductee; Developing Teacher/Young Professional;
Mentor Teacher, Expert teacher/ Sterling

1-3 years in service

4-5 years in service

11-15 years in service

15 years and above year in service

My Observations
From the answers given by the teacher you interviewed, is the teacher a professional teacher?

1. Why do you think so?

2. Why don’t you think so?

Can you find other teachers who are professional teachers among the teachers whom you
know?

What characteristics or qualities distinguish a professional teacher from a non-professional

teacher?
My Reflections
Considering that you will be a future professional teacher, what standards of behavior should
you uphold based on the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers?
