A. Topic 1 - Activity/Assignment
1. What is a glocal teacher?
Glocal teachers is a global teacher who is competent and armed with enough
skills, appropriate attitude and universal values to teach learners at home or
abroad but is equipped with both time tested as well as modern technologies in
education in any time and any place in the world. A glocal teacher is someone
who thinks and acts both locally and globally with worldwide perspectives, but
is teaching in the communities, localities, towns, provinces and regions where he
or she is situated.

SELF EVALUATION (SYNTHESIS OF THE MODULE)

Write a reflection on the statement: “As a glocal teacher, act locally but think
globally.”
There is no doubt that a teacher is one of the reasons who help shape the way children
grow beyond the subject they teach. A glocal teacher is someone who acts locally but think
globally, which means that he/she must be properly and fully equipped with different
skills,
aware of modern technologies, having universal values and have a wide range of
perspectives.
He/she has to be open-

Teaching is changing and, in many ways, becoming a more difficult job because of
increasingly numerous contradictory expectations because as a future teacher we are
expected to teach students to solve complex problems that require knowledge necessary
across many subject areas even as they are held accountable for the teaching and learning
of isolated skills and information. We must meet the needs of our students, move them
toward fulfillment of their individual potential, and prepare students for maximum
performance on high-stakes assessment tests that are the primary measure of the student
and school success.
As a future educator we are now belong to the global teacher and this is the challenge to us
because we need to create the meaningful lives tomorrow for our learners. We need to
prepare ourselves as we prepare our learners to compete globally and become more
productive. We need to acquire more knowledge, understanding and can be able to vision
the future. Nowadays Global Teacher is needed in different countries even though some of
us maybe qualified, teachers must be “act locally but think globally” meaning to say we
don’t need to act only in our own way but we need to think deeper and become more
knowledgeable in the different trends that is always new. We need to have an effort to help
ourselves and our learners to educate them and see to them that they can participate in the
school curriculum and they can encouraged to see the world and the different cultures of
other countries wherein they can relate.
Culture is very important for the individual because the reality of culture in social
life cannot be ignored without missing a sublime part of oneself. All countries have a
standard in the educational system like in the Philippines we have now the K – 12
curriculum that we adapt to other country so we can now have standard and it could help
to the learners a lot like before they have graduated they are now full of different skills that
could really help to them a lot. However, other countries have different educational system
regarding on how and what could really help to their learners and can benefit for all of
them. Multicultural education aids the teachers and the learners to give value to the
different history of their culture. All of them must share on what they learned in the culture
of others.
We could encounter more students and all of them are unique individually they
differ according to their race, ethnic, religious groups, languages, economic status and
family background. Therefore, as a future teacher, I need to care and nurture their learning
environment and I will embrace their different background. I should considered my leaners
background and experiences when I am teaching.
Technology can actually assist with some expectations and make teachers and their
students more successful. However, as the world becomes more complex virtually year to
year instead of the generation-to-generation pace of most of the last century educational
needs continue to shift from teaching and learning isolated skills and information within
each content area, to teaching skills that enable students to solve complex problems across
many areas. Educators must prepare for a technology rich future and keep up with change
by adopting effective strategies that infuse lessons with appropriate technologies.

Educational technology, especially computers and have grown tremendously and have
invaded all areas of our lives.
