ENGAGING ACTIVITIES: CRITICAL QUESTIONS
1. How can the standards for professional teachers improve the quality of teachers in the
Philippines?
The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers, which is built on National
Competency – Based Teacher Standard, complements the reform initiatives on teacher
quality from pre-service education to in-service training. It articulates what constitutes
teacher quality in the K to 12 Reform through well-defined domains, strands, and
indicators that provide measures of professional learning, competent practice, and
effective engagement. This set of standards makes explicit what teachers should know, be
able to do and value to achieve competence, improved student learning outcomes, and
eventually quality education. It is founded on teaching philosophies of learner-
centeredness, lifelong learning, and inclusivity/inclusiveness, among others. The
professional standards, therefore, become a public statement of professional
accountability that can help teachers reflect on and assess their own practices as they
aspire for personal growth and professional development.
