Learning Episode 5 THE GLOBAL TEACHER OF THE 21ST CENTURY

My FS Learning Task Overview

Teaching is a respectable profession the world over. The status of teachers has been comparable in all parts of the globe, hence each year, 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 extraordinary person in whose hands lie the future of the world. A teacher regardless of what country he/she comes from should be a GLOBAL TEACHER or the TEACHER of the WORLD.

Thus, you should have qualities, skills, knowledge, views, with wider breadth and deeper sense because you too will be a global teacher.

This Learning Episode focuses on the global teacher of the 21st century.

My Desired Learning Outcomes

Identity competencies of the global Filipino teacher Increase knowledge of the countries teachers’ competencies Compare the global Filipino teacher with the other teachers of the world

My Learning Essentials

Let us begin with ourselves, the Filipino teachers. Why are Filipino teachers doing very well in classrooms and schools outside our country? Are Filipino teachers doing well in our country as well? Many of them are awarded as exemplar teachers, best teachers and model teachers. They are honoured by the school, parents and community as well. Would you like to be a global teacher of the 21st century? As global teachers, you should br the excellent ones.

Read some teaching skills and qualities needed of global teachers in the 21st century.

A GLOBAL TEACHER thinks and acts both locally and globally. has classroom management skills. makes content relevant and updated. has skills in critical thinking. uses technology in education. has deep understanding of multiculturalism and globalization. has skills to collaborate with teams. brings the world into the classroom, school and community. continuously grow professionally.

A Filipino teacher should have these qualities and skills, too. These competencies are enshrined in the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) of the Philippines.

My Learning Map

Here are the steps that you should take in order to reach your desired learning outcome.

1. Request for a short interview of any public school teacher about the teacher’s competencies in the NCBTS. (Elementary or High School)

2. Request the teacher to answer a short questionnaire on the NCBTS teacher’s competencies.

3. Analyse the data.1. In which of the seven domains did the teacher rate herself/himself HIGH?2. Which competencies are practiced by the teacher all the time? Often? Sometimes?

Never?4. Go to the web, interview, chat, skype or use the other means to obtain the information

about other teachers in at least two other countries aside from the Philippines.

Activity 2 Global Teachers The World Over

Activity 1 describes the competencies that a global Filipino Teacher should possess. Now, we need to know, what competencies are 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, skype, chat, emails through the world wide web, interviews and use of other sources of information.

Choose at least 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.
