Role of teachers
Teachers play a crucial role in nation building. Through quality teachers, the
Philippines can develop holistic learners who are steeped in values, equipped with
21st century skills, and able to propel the country to development and progress. This
is in consonance with the Department of Education vision of producing: “Filipinos
who passionately love their country and whose values and competencies enable
them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to building the
nation” (DepED Order No. 36, s. 2013).
Evidences show unequivocally that good teachers are vital to raising student
achievement, i.e., quality learning is contingent upon quality teaching. Hence,
enhancing teacher quality becomes of utmost importance for long-term and
sustainable nation building.
The changes brought about by various national and global frameworks such
as the K to 12 Reform and the ASEAN integration, globalization, and the changing
character of the 21st century learners necessitate improvement and adaptability of
education, and a call for the rethinking of the current teacher standards.

6. Learned Curriculum. How do we know if the student has learned? We
always believe that if a student changed behavior, he/she has learned. For
example, from a non-reader to reader or from now knowing to knowing or
from being disobedient to being obedient. The positive outcome of teaching
is an indicator of learning. These are measured by tools is assessment, which
can indicate the cognitive, affective and psychomotor outcomes. Learned
curriculum will also demonstrate higher order and critical thinking and
lifelong skills.
