CHAPTER VI
The Teacher in the Classroom and Community
Instructional Objectives:
1. Examine the challenging role of a competent professional teacher in the classroom and the
community.
2. Design a personal professional development plan for teaching competency in the classroom.
The Paradigm (from Transmissional to Transactional) Shift of education in the Philippines is

the transfer of teaching concepts from the Traditional “bookish and direct learning approach”
Teaching into a 21st Century Teaching focused on developing the learners HOTS (higher order
thinking skills).
These HOTS is the demonstration of the learners critical thinking ability, and to go beyond the
four walls of the classroom by applying their learning into the 7 domains Identified by the
Department of Education (DepEd).
The latest trend is to Empower the teachers, the front-liners in education, the deliverers of
knowledge, and facilitators of learning in the process of developing a curriculum, that would reflect
the Competencies, teachers and students alike should possess and reflective of the Social Dimension
of education. That learning should not be limited to Fraction or Poem writing but rather adopting it to
the real life applications and experiences that the learner may or has experienced.
The NCBTS Framework is divided in 7 Domains:
1. Social Regard for Learning (SRFL)
2. Learning Environment (LE)
3. Diversity of Learners (DOL)
4. Curriculum (Curr.)
5. Planning, Assessing Reporting (PAR)
6. Community Linkages (CL)
7. Personal Growth & Professional Development (PGPD)
According to the Framework, “This will allow teachers to self-assess their own performance
against the Competency Standards to identify areas of strength as well as areas that need to be
developed further in order for them to function more effectively as facilitators of learning.”
Domain 1. Social Regard for Learning (SRFL)
The SRFL domain focuses on the ideal that teachers serve as positive and powerful role models of
the value in the pursuit of different efforts to learn. The teacher’s action, statements, and different
types of social interactions with students exemplify this ideal.
Leading Innovations, Transforming Lives, Building the Nation

Domain 2. Learning Environment (LE)

This domain focuses on importance of providing a social, psychological and physical environment
within which all students, regardless of their individual differences in learning, can engage in the
different learning activities and work towards attaining high standards of learning.
Domain 3. Diversity of Learners (DOL)
The DOL domain emphasizes the ideal that teachers can facilitate the learning process even with
diverse learners, by recognizing and respecting individual differences and by using knowledge about
their differences to design diverse sets of learning activities to ensure that all learners can attain the
desired learning goals.
Domain 4. Curriculum (Curr.)
The curriculum domain refers to all elements of the teaching-learning process that work in
convergence to help students understand the curricular goals and objectives, and to attain high
standards of learning defined in the curriculum. These elements include the teacher’s knowledge of
subject matter and the learning process, teachinglearning approaches and activities, instructional
materials and learning resources.
Domain 5. Planning, Assessing & Reporting (PAR)
This domain refers to the alignment of assessment and planning activities. In particular, the PAR
focuses on the
1. use of assessment data to plan and revise teaching-learning plans;
2. integration of assessment procedures in the plan and implementation of teaching learning
activities, and
3. reporting of the learners’ actual achievement and behavior.
Domain 6. Community Linkages (CL)
The LC domain refers to the ideal that classroom activities are meaningfully linked to the
experiences and aspirations of the learners in their homes and communities.Thus, this domain
focuses on teachers’ efforts directed at strengthening the links between schools and communities to
help in the attainment of the curricular goals.
Domain 7. Personal Growth & Professional Development (PGPD)
The PGPD domain emphasizes the ideal that teachers value having a high personal regard for the
teaching profession, concern for professional development, and continuous improvement as teachers.
Role of a professional teacher in the classroom and the community
Teachers are best known for the role of educating the students that are placed in their care.
Beyond that, teachers serve many other roles in the classroom. Teachers set the tone of their
classrooms, build a warm environment, mentor and nurture students, become role models, and listen
and look for signs of trouble.
Teachers truly are the backbone of society. They are role models to children, offer guidance and
dedication and give young people the power of education. Because of teachers, countries are able to
further develop socially and economically.
THE 7 ROLES OF A TEACHER IN THE 21ST CENTURY

The 7 Roles of a Teacher in the 21st Century:
Think about the type of lesson you normally teach:
 In which roles are you often involved?
 Are there any roles in which you have less experience?
 Are there any new roles you might try in the future?
In the 21st century classroom, teachers are facilitators of student learning and creators of
productive classroom environments, in which students can develop the skills they might need at
present or in future.
Harmer, Jeremy. states that ‘it makes more sense to describe different teacher roles and say
what they are useful for, rather than make value judgments about their effectiveness.’
Teacher Roles:
Most teachers take on a variety of roles within the classroom, which role do you think most defines
your role in the ESL classroom?
1. The Controller: The teacher is in complete charge of the class, what students do, what they say
and how they say it. The teacher assumes this role when a new language is being introduced and
accurate reproduction and drilling techniques are needed.
In this classroom, the teacher is mostly the center of focus, the teacher may have the gift of
instruction, and can inspire through their own knowledge and expertise, but, does this role really
allow for enough student talk time? Is it really enjoyable for the learners? There is also a perception
that this role could have a lack of variety in its activities.
2. The Prompter: The teacher encourages students to participate and makes suggestions about how
students may proceed in an activity. The teacher should be helping students only when necessary.
When learners are literally ‘lost for words’, the prompter can encourage by discreetly nudging
students. Students can sometimes lose the thread or become unsure how to proceed; the prompter in
this regard can prompt but always in a supportive way.
3. The Resource: The teacher is a kind of walking resource center ready to offer help if needed, or
provide learners with whatever language they lack when performing communicative activities. The
teacher must make her/himself available so that learners can consult her/him when (and only when)

it is absolutely necessary. As a resource the teacher can guide learners to use available resources
such as the internet, for themselves, it certainly isn’t necessary to spoon-feed learners, as this might
have the downside of making learners reliant on the teacher.
4. The Assessor: The teacher assumes this role to see how well students are performing or how well
they performed. Feedback and correction are organized and carried out.
The role of an assessor gives teachers an opportunity to correct learners. However, if it is not
communicated with sensitivity and support it could prove counterproductive to a student’s self-
esteem and confidence in learning the target language.
5. The Organizer: The success of many activities depends on good organization and on the students
knowing exactly what they are to do next. Giving instructions is vital in this role as well as setting up
activities.
The organizer can also serve as a demonstrator, this role also allows a teacher to get involved and
engaged with learners. The teacher also serves to open and neatly close activities and also give
content feedback.
6. The Participant: This role improves the atmosphere in the class when the teacher takes part in an
activity. However, the teacher takes a risk of dominating the activity when performing it.
Here the teacher can enliven a class; if a teacher is able to stand back and not become the center
of attention, it can be a great way to interact with learners without being too overpowering.
7. The Tutor: The teacher acts as a coach when students are involved in project work or self-study.
The teacher provides advice and guidance and helps students clarify ideas and limit tasks.
This role can be a great way to pay individual attention to a student. It can also allow a teacher to
tailor make a course to fit specific student needs. However, it can also lead to a student becoming too
dependent or even too comfortable with one teacher and one method or style of teaching.
Professional development plan for teaching competency:
What is a Professional Development Plan?
A professional development plan is a documented record of an individual’s career aspirations
and progressions. It may be referred to as a PDP or CPD, with the latter an abbreviation of
continuing professional development. Within your plan, you should outline what you wish to achieve
and what you are going to do to develop your workplace skills and therefore reach your goals.
All teachers should be actively working on their professional development. Making time for your
own development may be a challenge, but your employer should encourage and support you to
professionally develop yourself.

Here are 9 Steps to Completing a PDP:

1. Assess where you are now.
2. Identify your specific career goals.
3. Gather information.
4. Identify what professional skills you already have and which you need to work on.
5. Choose how you will accomplish your goals.
6. Develop a timeline for accomplishing your specific targets and goals.
7. Write it all down.
8. Evaluate your plan.
9. Measure your progress.
In the education sector, the plans are often referred to as continuing professional
development for teachers. As a teacher, professional development goals are likely to vary in
comparison to your colleagues depending on how you personally want to progress. Your goals may
relate to the job level or role you want to pursue. Or, you may instead want to specifically focus on
developing your teaching style or capabilities.
Below, we have listed some potential professional development goals which you may want to
consider.
 To become a head of year.
 To become a subject head.
 To become a child behavior specialist.
 To develop my own ICT skills so I can confidentially share this knowledge
 with students and make the most of technology use in the classroom.
 To learn how to provide support to special educational needs pupils and
 confidently give teacher support.
 To address the individual learning styles of students and expand my teaching methods
accordingly.
Always feel as though you can ask your employer for opportunities to develop yourself
professionally; your capabilities will benefit the school just as much as it will benefit you as an
individual.
How to Achieve your Development Goals
While you are likely to have professional development goals that differ to those listed above,
the methods of improving your capabilities and achieving your goals is likely to be through similar
means. Your development can take place through various forms. The most popular options are listed
below, but other methods may be available to you at your school.
Qualification courses
You can gain professional qualifications having completed either online or face-to-face
training. Courses provide the practical information you need to then take action and develop yourself

in the areas you have addressed. They will vary greatly in length and content, so it’s essential that
you find the one that is best for you.
Mentoring and peer observation
You are guaranteed to learn something by shadowing your colleagues, whether they are of a
higher level or not. You may witness teaching methods that successfully engage pupils with a
difficult topic, or be able to take note of a particular strategy for managing disruptive pupils.
Both the observer and the teacher being shadowed are likely to benefit from peer observation.
Therefore, being observed by a colleague and given constructive feedback you could also develop
yourself.
Observation visits to other schools
Visiting other schools will have a similar effect to shadowing your own colleagues, but is likely
to also have additional learning benefits. For example, a different school may encourage different
teaching strategies and behaviours. You can then take this knowledge back to your own school and
trial new ways of teaching.
Workshops
Workshops on a subject matter, methods or other education-related topics are a useful platform
for teachers to discuss their own experiences as well as learn. They may be led by an external
specialist, or hosted by one of the teachers. Such discussions also provide teachers with an
opportunity for internal reflection and you may get a lot more out of this type of development than
you’d expect.
Education conferences and seminars
This type of learning will allow you to develop in a particular area that you personally recognize
as challenging. They also provide you with an opportunity to meet and discuss teaching methods and
your own development with other teaching professionals.
Research
Your professional development is primarily your own responsibility. You may find that carrying
out your own research, in the form of reading online materials such as reports, helps you to develop.
You can also carry out research with your colleagues as a project. Or, you may find online
communities of teachers, such as on blogs, a useful means of developing yourself professionally.
Your professional development as a teacher is something you should be continuously working
on. You may find that you develop best when seeing things in practice, such as by shadowing other
colleagues and learning this way. Whatever form your development takes, it is important that is
effective for you and you can apply what you’ve learnt in the classroom.

The role of a teacher has many dimensions, and oftentimes it’s easy to get overwhelmed and
stressed out. Setting professional development goals can help alleviate some of those negative
feelings and make you feel better about yourself and your career.
1. Avoid Teacher Burnout - to avoid that dreaded teacher burnout is by taking some time for
yourself. For many teachers, this goal is the hardest because teachers are natural born “givers,” and
the idea of taking time for yourself seems unrealistic or senseless. However, it is the best way to de-
stress, and in order to be a good teacher, you need to take care of yourself first. You can start small
and do something easy like go shopping, take a nap or a walk, or get together with friends. Any time
that you take for yourself will lead you to a happier you.
2. Give Students Some Reign - giving your students some control of how they learn can be very
beneficial. It gives students a sense of confidence and pride in their work. It also gives them a sense
of purpose and motivation. Ease into this goal by giving students a few options to choose from.
3. Integrate Tech Tools - The more your students are exposed to technology, the better they will get
at using it for their future.
4. Involve Parents More - invite parents to actively participate in their child’s education. Encourage
parents to come in and volunteer. Assign a family project or invite parents to come to classroom
events. There are a lot of ways to involve parents more; you just have to make it a priority.
5. Create an Online Presence - creating your own teacher blog, or creating a website with your
students means that you are actively involved in the tech world and people know you. This is a great
goal for teachers who have a hard time integrating educational technology into their daily routine.
With technology transforming the way we lived, it is important to utilize it.
6. Cultivate Relationships with Colleagues - cultivating a relationship with your colleagues can
have a major impact on your teaching career. These individuals can be your mentors, your friends, or
your go-to people when you are in need. Take time to nurture these relationships because these
people may turn out to be like family.
7. Incorporate Mindfulness - There has been a growing amount of research about the benefits and
effects of being mindful. Take time to be in the moment. You can also try being mindful of your
breathing. Listen to every inhale and exhale for a few minutes. You will notice your stress level go
down.
8. Encourage More Play - If you have learning centers that students go to every day, make sure that
one center is strictly for play. If you don’t, carve out at least 30 minutes for students to play.
9. Make Learning Fun - Make it your mission to make learning fun each and every day. If you
think the lesson is boring, imagine if you were the student who had to do it. Put yourself in your
students’ position and think about how you could make it fun.
10. Reflect - Start a journal and reflect upon each lesson and your day. Then find a way to
implement positive changes into your lessons. You will find a deeper understanding of not only
yourself but also your teaching. This information can only benefit you in your life and career.
