Teachers are primary meant for the classroom to teach.

The classroom is his/her first community, a community of pupils

or students, teaching community which consists his/her fellow teachers, colleagues and superiors and the community
outside the school which consists of parents of his/her students, local officials, alumni in which the school is located.

So to function well in the classroom and in the community, he/she must be equipped with competencies. This
competencies refer to knowledge, skills and attitudes that a teacher ought to posses for him/her to perform his/her task
satisfactorily. These competencies are captures and presented in the NCBTS.

What is NCBTS?

NCBTS stands for national competency-based teacher standard which is an integrated theoretical framework that
defines the different dimensions of effective teaching, where effective teaching means being able to help all types of
students learn the different learning goals in the curriculum.

( to simply put it NCBTS are the amalgamation or unified set t of rules, ideas, or beliefs which has been used to deal with
the problems onto how should a teacher will effectively teach his /her students in order to help the students to meet the
different learning goal. The teacher actually firsts finds out what types of students is she handling, and then next is also
for the students to know why they are learning)
NCBTS is a set of competencies( which includes the behavior, attitudes and skills) that a teacher must have to function
satisfactorily and effectively. NCBTS are actually based upon the core values of a Filipino teacher and on the principles of
effective teaching and learning.

Dignity means respect for humanity. Teachers must respect every person, regardless of gender, sexual
orientation, gender diversity, appearance, age, religion, social standing, origin, opinions, abilities and
achievements.

Truthfulness is one of the core values in teachers’ basic task, which involves steering learners in navigating life
and their environment. Honesty with oneself and others and mutual respect in all communication is a basic
aspect of teachers’ work.

Fairness is important both when encountering individual learners and groups but also in the work community.
Fairness involves in particular promoting equality and non-discrimination and avoiding favouritism.

Teachers are entitled to their own values, but in their work, teachers’ responsibility is tied to their basic task and
its standards such as legislation and the curriculum.

Let’s move on to………..

What is Competency-Based mean?

 the standards or criteria for characterizing good teaching are defined in terms of what the teacher is competent

national level.

(NCBTS will guide the teachers to develop or mold to an effective teacher, their ways of instruction, the way they handle
the students to meet the students’ earning goals through teacher development programs that will , and also to develop
school projects starting from school level up to the national level.

Who should use the NCBTS?

 Award-giving bodies in defining their criteria for outstanding teachers.

Great teachers deserve great rewards, and nothing is more effective than praise and recognition in the form
of a national award. Many organizations and companies around the country offer such commendations
because they recognize the value of excellent educators, so these award-giving bodies must refer to NCBTS
in creating their criteria in giving award to outstanding teachers.

 The DepEd shall use this in formulating its hiring, promotion, supervision, and other policies related to the e
teaching profession. It shall also use the NCBTS to guide its INSET programs for teachers.

How should teachers use the NCBTS.

 Guide on their current teaching

So, it is important to use the NCBTS to ha a better guide when it comes for their teaching, but not only to the teaching of
the teachers as well as to help their students.

NCBTS is divides into seven (7 domains) that represent the desires features of the teaching and learning process. This
domains incorporate a series of 21 strands of desires teaching performance statements which can be identified as eighty
(80) performance indicators that are observable indicators of the quality of a teacher’s performance.

SEVEN DOMAINS OF NCBTS.

and different types of social interactions with students exemplify this ideal.
..huwag magpakita nag negativities and do not be discouraged, and always make efforts in teaching so that your teacher

Domain 2:
• The domain of Learning Environment focuses on the importance of providing for a social and physical
environment within which all students, regardless of their individual differences in learning, can engage
the different learning activities and work

also for the students to learn, the room should only be composed of enough count of students, not too crowded
with students, the room must be away from ditractions, so that the students can clearly focus on the lesson that you
are teaching.
So to achieve this domain, we should assess ourselves by asking question to ourselves

you think, you you have favoristism among your students in your clasrro, well you should change that. You must
remind yourself that all my students should always feel respected and appreciated in class and that they all have an

and with due respect to children’s rights, the teacher gives timely feedback to reinforce appropriate learner’s
behavior, and guides individual learners requiring development of appropriate social and learning behavior,
communicates and enforces school policies and procedures for appropriate learner behavior, Encourages free
