A. Ensuring Teacher Quality Through Competency Framework and Standards

Introduction:

Teacher quality is a crucial factor influencing student achievement and outcomes. While many agree on
its importance, the teaching profession often struggles to attract high-quality candidates, a concern
highlighted in the Global Teacher Status report of 2013.

Quality Teachers Defined:

Quality teachers possess essential 21st-century skills, which include:

1. Learning and Innovation Skills: Critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration.

2. Information, Media, and Technology Skills: Information and media literacy, and ICT skills.

3. Life and Career Skills.

Additionally, quality teachers demonstrate global competence by:

- Understanding their cultural identity and its impact.

- Integrating global perspectives into their teaching.

- Engaging students and valuing diverse inputs.

- Creating inclusive environments and modeling social responsibility.

Teacher Quality Defined:

Teacher quality can be difficult to define and varies by country. For instance, the U.S. has shifted its
focus from credentials to student outcomes, while other nations use standardized measures. The OECD
suggests that teacher quality standards should include:

- Planning and Preparation: Knowledge of content, students, and assessment.

- Instruction: Effective communication and engagement techniques.

- Professional Responsibilities: Reflection on teaching, community involvement, and professional

Conclusion:

Quality teachers are characterized by specific attributes, while teacher quality is determined by
established standards validated by student learning outcomes. The teaching profession needs its own
standards, akin to other professions, with input from teachers themselves.

B. The Competency Framework for Teachers in Southeast Asia (CFT-SEA)

The Competency Framework for Teachers in Southeast Asia (CFT-SEA), developed in 2017, aims to
revitalize teacher education and elevate the teaching profession in Southeast Asia. It provides a regional
standard for pre-service and in-service teacher development.

The framework outlines four essential competencies and a total of 136 success descriptors categorized
under 31 enabling competencies and 12 general competencies. These competencies combine skills,
knowledge, behaviors, and attributes necessary for superior teaching performance.

The four essential competencies are:

1. Knowing and Understanding What to Teach: This involves deepening subject matter expertise,
understanding educational trends, policies, and curricula, and staying updated on local, national,
regional, and global developments.

2. Helping Students Learn: This includes understanding student needs, employing effective teaching
strategies, assessing student learning, and providing constructive feedback.

3. Engaging the Community: This focuses on partnering with parents and caregivers, involving the
community in student learning, and fostering respect and diversity.

4. Becoming a Better Teacher Every Day: This emphasizes self-awareness, emotional intelligence, ethical
conduct, and continuous professional growth.

The CFT-SEA, agreed upon by Southeast Asian Ministers of Education, including the Philippines, serves
as a regional benchmark for teacher quality.
