The Old and New Paradigms The Traditional View The NCBTS View Teaching is a technical process, and the good qualities of this technical process are well defined. Teaching is facilitating learning, and the qualities of good teaching are defined in terms of whether students learn or not. Teacher knowledge is technical knowledge applicable to all learners and contexts. Teacher knowledge is essentially complex and problematic; applicability varies across learners and contexts.
The Old and New Paradigms The Traditional View The NCBTS View Teaching involves consistent application of technical knowledge. Teaching involves reflective and flexible application of technical knowledge in ways that best bring about student learning. Effective application of teacher knowledge dependent on prerequisite inputs in teaching environment. Effective teaching is determined within the limits and opportunities found in the learning environment.
Proposed Reforms q The articulation of a singular competency-based framework for teaching and teacher development that would guide all policies, reforms, and activities related to teaching and teacher development, and which shall be called the National Competency Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS).
Who Should Use the NCBTS? q TEI : to design and implement effective pre-service teacher education curricula. q PRC: in designing the Licensure Exam for Teachers. q Organizations and agencies: that implement in-service education for teachers (INSET) shall refer to the NCBTS in developing their interventions. q Award-giving bodies in defining their criteria for outstanding teachers. q The Department: in formulating its hiring, promotion, supervision, and other policies related to the teaching profession.
