MAKE A REFLECTION
Note: use the result of your interview to answer some of the questions for your reflection.
1. Who is a global teacher? What are the attributes of the global teacher?
A glocal teacher is an educator that incorporates various glocal issues into their
curriculum including multiculturalism, economic, environmental and social issues.
Creating a classroom environment that values diversity. The attributes of the global
teacher is Integrating global learning experiences into the curriculum, Facilitating
intercultural conversations and partnerships, Assessing students' global competence
development.
2. Can the teacher whom you have interviewed be classified as a global teacher? Why? Why
not?
Yes of course she is classified because some teachers here know how to used
gadgets since in these days in privates school they use some application to master
more. The teacher that I have interviewed will be classified as a glocal teacher, since
she is a competent teacher who is armed with enough skills, appropriate attitudes and
universal values to teach students with both time tested as well as modern
technologies in education in any place in the world.

3. Can one be a global teacher, without teaching abroad? Write your insight?
One can be a glocal teacher even if he or she is not teaching abroad. Moreover, a
global teacher is a teacher with global perspectives, thinks locally and globally right
in the place he or she is situated.
4. Reflect on the statement, “As a glocal teacher, act locally but think globally.”
As a teacher it is very important that a glocal teacher, act locally in order to maximize
the use of available materials and at the same time the students can understand well
and to have a deep understanding and to have an authentic learning because the
learning materials used by the teacher is based on the real lives of the learners. But
since we are also global teachers, we should always see to it that we are not
neglecting our own culture and country. We need to remind the learners to still
appreciate our own country inspite of the continuous globalization we are
experiencing. We should relate the learning content specified in the curriculum to
local information and materials from the leaner’s community.
I believe that as educators, we should be think globally and teach locally. We must
be preparing our learners to be globally competitive but also giving equal
importance to own Filipino history, culture and the country itself.

recruitment in China.
Teaching positions can be quite competitive in urban areas but rural areas often suffer from a
shortage of candidates.
As a result, they often must employ “supply teachers,” or teachers who are primarily substitutes,
in their local schools.

leaves and unforeseen
emergencies.
MAKE A REFLECTION
1. If given an opportunity to experience teaching in another country listed above, where you
like to teach? Explain?
If I am given a chance to experience teaching abroad, I will choose the USA, most
locals in USA are perfectly fluent in English, I think I can easily learn their language
and the rules are not very strict, apart from the high salary there is also little teaching
time and I can also be sidelined with other work and long rest time and I'm sure I can
get along with my students since I have the potential to do with commitment and
honesty, meaning there aren't quite as many jobs as you might find in other Asian
countries.
The majority of positions in US are at International Schools where you'll need a
teaching certification, or at public schools where the competition is stiff. While you
can work at a private academy or teach private lessons, there's little job security.
Unless, of course, you're highly qualified. For example, I almost took a job in USA as
a college counselor, helping Singaporean students apply to US universities. This job
required a Master's degree among other things. If you have a teaching certification, or
you want to apply for a high-level education related job, USA is a great place to look.
However, if you're fresh out of college with no teaching experience, you might want
to try another country instead.
