  4. 1. How can we be a global teacher? What preparations shall we undertake to be one?
    We can be a global teacher by first rethinking the role of English as a global language, redefining our roles as educators, exploring global education related fields such as peace education, integrating global topics and activities into our teaching and teaching for peace, international understanding and world citizenship to become a better world.

    To become a global teacher we need to study, research and practice to achieve our goals.

    in terms of objectives, curriculum and management/
    Pre-primary education
    Pre-school education at the kindergarten level (age group 5-6 years) must aim to develop children in all aspects (physical, social, emotional, and cognitive) so that they will be better prepared to adjust and cope with life situations and the demands of formal schooling; and to maximize the children’s potential through a variety of carefully selected and meaningful experiences considering their interests and capabilities. The curriculum focuses on the following areas:
    § Physical development: it includes gross and fine motor co-ordination through play and manipulative activities like games, simple works, etc.
    § Personal-social development: it involves skills and social behaviours and it includes the development of health habits, independence, abilities to follow rules and routines. Learning about the family and other people is part of the concerns in this area.
    § Affective development: it includes experiences that help children develop love for God, self, others and the community, and develop awareness of their feelings and sense of the right and wrong.
    § Cognitive development: it includes the development of communication skills and sensory-perceptual and numeracy concepts and skills. Communication skills refer to competencies in expressing ideas and feelings both in English and Filipino (oral expression and basic readiness skills of listening, pre-reading and writing). Sensory-perceptual and numeracy skills refer to the ability to observe, discriminate, compare and classify, and to understand, count, read and write numbers.
    § Creative-aesthetic development: it includes exploration of sounds, music and rhythms, and the development of children’s creative expression through drawing, painting, manipulative activities, etc.

  6. Primary education
    The overall mission of elementary education is to enable pupils to acquire a basic preparation that will make them an enlightened, disciplined, self-reliant, God-loving, creative, versatile and productive citizens in a national community. The main objectives of elementary education are:
    § to provide knowledge and develop the skills, attitudes and values essential to the children’s personal development and necessary for living in and contributing to a developing and changing social milieu;
    § to provide learning experiences aimed at increasing the children’s awareness of and responsiveness to the demands of society, and to prepare them for constructive and effective involvement;
    § to promote and intensify the children’s knowledge of, identification with, and love for the nation and the people to which they belong;
    § to promote work experiences aimed at developing and enhancing the children’s orientation to the world of work and creativity, and to prepare them for an honest and gainful work.
    “Curriculum policies are usually set forth by the Department of Education through various orders, circulars, memoranda and bulletins. They are aligned with national priorities and contribute to the achievement of development goals. However, several laws passed by the national legislature specifically relate to the school curriculum.
    The approach to curriculum design in the country is based on content topic and competency.
    Secondary education
    Elementary school graduates are admitted into the secondary level which is a continuation of the elementary education programme and a preparation for higher education. The secondary course consists of four years. Curricular offerings are classified as either general or vocational/technical secondary. Elementary and secondary education levels are considered basic education. Secondary education is addressed to students aged 13-16. The New Secondary Education Curriculum was implemented in 1992/93. The major subject areas are science, mathematics, technology, Filipino, English, and civics/national culture. Technical and vocational education was also revised and adapted to technological progress and employment needs in recent years.

  7. Higher education
    The higher education system of the Philippines is a key player in the education and integral formation of professionally competent, service-oriented, principled, and productive citizens.
    Through its tri-fold function of teaching, research, and extension services, it becomes a prime mover of the nation's socioeconomic growth and sustainable development. The missions of higher education institutions are: (i) to educate and train Filipinos for enhanced labor productivity and responsible citizenship in an environment where educational access is equitable; (ii) to inculcate nationalism and patriotism in the hearts and minds of the students and graduates; (iii) to accelerate the development of high-level professionals ready to meet international competition; and (iv) to serve as centers of research and development
    Higher education institutions have adopted a scheme of voluntary accreditation to upgrade the quality of programme offerings. Other quality assurance mechanisms have been developed to improve various programme clusters, namely: agriculture education; humanities, social sciences and communication; information technology; medical and health related professions; engineering, architecture and technology; science and mathematics; teacher education; business accountancy and industry; and maritime education. Programme offerings include associate diploma courses, baccalaureate courses, and graduate degree courses at the master’s and doctoral levels.

  9. 1. To be a global teacher, we need to adapt to all the updates in teaching profession. We all know that there are so many new methods and technology or tools that are being used today for teaching. We also need to to know the international standards of teaching so we can be competitive even if we are in any other countries. A global teacher embraces all the new methods and improvements in teaching and do not stay behind in the old style classroom setting. Once a teacher, always a student...we never cease to stop learning.

    2. Our education system is in continuous process of improving through research. From its objectives to the actual preparation of lesson plans are being monitored by the DepEd and its subsidiaries for better implementation and up to now, they are doing adjustments based all on research from actual needs of the students.

  10. 1. The teacher must continue learning about the subject matter he or she is teaching. The teacher should continually to grow professionally by attending workshops, trainings and seminars; study gropus, professional readings; membership in professional organizations and attending graduate courses. He or she should always be on top of any changes or new developments in his subject matter, theory, practice and teaching pedagogy. One example is to have in depth knowledge on computers and advanced technology to use in the classroom.
