My Map
Teaching is a respectable profession the world over. The status of teachers 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.
Let us begin with ourselves, the Filipino teachers. Why are Filipino teachers doing very well in
classrooms and schools outside the 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
stands of the NCBTS-TSNA.
Here are the steps:
1. Request for an interview of any public-school teacher (Elem. Or High school)
2. Ask him/her about his/her Individual Profile on the NCBTS-TSNA Tool of the DepED.
3. Ask for information on the following:
1. In which of the seven domains do you find yourself HIGH?
2. In which of the seven domains do you find yourself LOW?
3. In which strand, are you an expert? Experienced? Developing or beginning?

 ACTIVITY 2- GLOBAL TEACHERS 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 teachers 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, interviews 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 these countries.

MY OBSERVATIONS

1. Based on your interview of the Filipino teacher on the competencies of the national
standards for teachers, has the teacher met the requirements? Explain.
He has fairly met the requirements of National Standards of Teacher.

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?
For me no, because the description on the NCBTS are quite low.

3. Are there similarities or differences among teachers in other countries in terms of the
requirements of a professional teacher? Explain your answer.
Yes. Like passing the Licensure Examination which is the main requirement for the teaching profession.

4. Would Filipino teachers be comparable to their fellow teachers in other countries? Explain you
answer.
Yes, they are comparable. The government need to improve teachers’ skills. Hoping in the future that
teachers’ will be more competent.

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?
If I will assess myself, I can say that I can meet the challenges of being a global teacher.Why? Because I
can manage to use ICT, also by having a good communication skill.
MY AFFIRMED CONCEPTS
After undergoing this Experiential Learning Episode, what prior learning in the previous courses has been
affirmed?
Identify at least three concepts about the global teacher.
The concepts I have learned before and are affirmed now include the following: Concept 1: A
global teacher has a global intellect and global skills.
Concept 2: A global teacher always consider change. Therefore, they must be flexible in varied situation in
school.
Concept 3: A global teacher must have general knowledge and must have 21st century skills.

MY FUTURE APPLICATION

Becoming a global teacher is all about adapting the way that you teach and the educator that you are both
inside and outside the classroom. There are many ways that you can do this, but they do not simply happen
overnight.
Think about your classroom's environment
Another great step to take is to make your classroom more global friendly. If the walls are just plain bare
concrete then consider decorating them with global posters and maps of the world. International calendars
also help to continue their education about the world. The world is a colorful place, so make sure the inside
of your classroom reflects this.

Make global content part of your teaching.

Teaching your pupils about the world will not just happen overnight, and they certainly aren't going to do it
themselves. You must plan and prepare to integrate global content into your classroom curriculum. Three
key areas that are important to cover are: World themes (multicultural topics), world regions (geographic
literacy) and world problems (global issues).
