Teacher Education and Development Program (TEDP) — National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) Philippine Education Reform Beatriz G. Torno, DPM Executive Director II Teacher Education Council I wish I could persuade every teacher to be proud of his/her occupation-not conceited or pompous , but proud. People who introduce themselves with the shame remark that they are, “ just teachers”, give me despair in my heart. Did you ever hear a lawyer say depreciatingly that he was only a patent attorney? Did you ever hear a physician say “ I am just a brain surgeon? ” I beg of you to stop apologizing for being a member of the most important profession in the world. Draw yourself up to your full height; look at anybody squarely in the eye and say, “ I AM A TEACHER. ” William Garr Department of Education Overview Mission: to provide quality basic education that is equitably accessible to all and lay the foundation for life-long learning and service for the common good Overview Total enrollment- SY 2008-2009 = 19. 4 million Elementary: Pre-school, Grades 1-6; Public: 12, 304, 207 Private: 1, 092, 781 Total = 13, 396, 988 Secondary: First Yr — 4th yr: Public: 5, 126, 459 Private: 1, 332, 846 Total = 6, 459, 305 TOTAL NUMBER OF TEACHERS: Elementary: Public: 348, 082 Private: 49, 440 397, 368 Secondary: Public: 131, 865 Private: 53, 018 184, 883 GRAND TOTAL: 582, 255 BASIC EDUCATION SECTOR REFORM AGENDA (BESRA) TEDP and NCBTS TEDP is TEACHER EDUCATION and DEVELOPMENT PLAN – is the master plan for Teacher Education. – is the articulation of a singular competencybased framework for teaching and teacher development that would guide all policies, reforms, and activities related to teaching and teacher development.

BESRA KRT2 will raise teacher standards in the profession to meet the demands for better learning outcomes. Main Policy Actions of BESRA KRT2 A framework for competency-based standards for teachers. A rolling 5-year projection of teacher hires. Progressive upgrades in division level teacher hiring practices. Regional, division and school level targets for distribution of class sizes. Main Policy Actions of BESRA KRT2 Regional, division and school level targets for distribution of class sizes. Division and school focus in improving teaching practices in schools. Pre-service teacher education and licensing to support future hiring standards. New legislation governing teacher (non-teaching staff) compensation, benefits and conditions of employment. Background National Competency-Based Standards (NCBTS) defines Effective Teaching. NCBTS clearly stated the strategic and indispensable role of the TEACHER in the learning process of the students. NCBTS to TSNA Teacher Strengths and Needs Assessment (TSNA) was designed in the context of NCBTS. TSNA is anchored on the overarching concept of teacher professional development to promote student learning. TSNA will be utilized for Individual Plan for Professional Development (IPPD) IPPD as an input to the School Improvement Plan (IPPD) TSNA System Framework General Purposes of TSNA To gather data for the continuous training and professional development of teachers To identify teacher’s professional attributes, knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes. To identify teacher strengths that would complement the learning needs and requirements of the learners. Specific Purposes of TSNA Determine the competency status profile, strengths and weaknesses of individual teacher vis a vis the standards set by NCBTS in the 7 seven domains. Determine the Individual Professional Teacher Index from the TSNA results and use the data to develop teachers Individual Plan for Professional Development Specific Purposes of TSNA To consolidate the TSNA results at the school, division levels as reference to the School Improvement Plan (SIP) and the Annual Improvement Plan (AIP) EXPECTED OUTPUT At the Individual Level An Individual Teacher Scoring Template that contains TSNA results indicating the strengths and training needs in each of the 7 domains, 23 strands, 80 indicators and 270 KSAs. EXPECTED OUTPUT At the School Level School data-based results that reflect the general strengths and learning needs of the teachers in the particular school. EXPECTED OUTPUT At the cluster/division level Division data-based results of participating schools teachers in a given cluster/division. Domains, Strands, Indicators, KSAs in the TSNA Tool Domains Strands Indicators KSA D1-Social Regard for Learning 2 5 18 D2-Learning Environment 5 17 59 D3-Diversity of Learners 1 8 27 D4-Curriculum 7 22 78 D5- Planning, Assessing & Reporting 4 12 40 D6- Community Linkages 1 6 18 D7- Personal Growth and Professional Development 3 10 30 Total 23 80 270 Manual Version —TSNA Response The instrument contains clusters of KSAs specific to a particular competency indicators and with the stem: “ At what level do I . . . . . ” As self-assessment tool, the responses to each item is expressed in qualitative progression as: Low level (L-1), Fair level (F-2), Satisfactory level (S-3), High level (H-4). Interpretation- TPDIndex Competen cy Level Labels for the Index Description 3. 51- 4. 00 Expert Teacher has almost all the competencies for effective teaching at high level. These are the identified strengths, which have to be sustained and enhanced. 2. 51-3. 50 Experienced Teacher has majority of the competencies at high level for effective teaching. Enhance strengths, training and professional needs to be addressed. 1. 51-2. 5 Developing Teacher has average of all the competencies at high level for effective teaching. Enhance strengths, training and professional needs to be addressed with priority. 1. 00-1. 50 Beginning Teacher has very few of the competencies at high level for effective teaching. Priority and urgency be given to training needs. Electronic Version The e-version follows the manual version but the teacher has to use a computer to answer each item and automatically, the result will be given and interpreted by domain. The e-version has been made userfriendly that any teacher can easily use it. The Individual Plan for Professional Development (IPPD) The TSNA results to a teacher individual profile along the seven domains, the strands and the indicators. From analysis and interpretation based on the TPDIndex, the teacher can determine the trainings which are urgently needed. The individual profile of the teachers may now be considered by the school head in the School Improvement Plan (SIP) and the Annual Improvement Plan (AIP) The collective profile of the teachers may also be utilized in the Division Educational Development Plan. Thus…. The use of TSNA will guide individual teacher and school heads in following the Teacher Capacity Building Roadmap as shown in the next figure. Thank you very much
