going internationally and showing our
best out there. Being world-class is
passion and commitment to our
profession; being world-class is giving
our best to teaching. Being world-class
starts right inside the classroom.”
-Conrado de Quiroz

Lesson 1:

Global Education and the Global

Te a c h e r
To compete globally would mean to prepare teachers who are capable
of changing lifelong educational needs.
 How do you prepare for these needs?
 What are the emerging technologies that will shape the future?
 How can we use our technologies for the best learning advantage?
 What will be the jobs of the future and how should curricula be
shaped to prepare students for their future?
Global Education
Global Education has been described by two definitions:

1. UNESCO defines global education as a goal to become

aware of educational conditions or lack of it, in
developing countries worldwide and aim to educate all
people to a certain world standards.
2. Is a curriculum that is international in scope which
prepares today’s youth around the world to function in
one world environment under teachers who are
intellectually, professionally and humanistically prepared.
Global Teacher

 Globaleducation is all about diversity and the goal of global

education is for us to understand the differences and teach
the different cultural groups. It is for the development of
not just the educational system here in the Philippines but
also in other countries worldwide to produce educated
people with the certain WORLD STANDARDS.
 Globaleducation is always attached with global teachers.
They are the people involved in making the global education
possible. But who are global teachers?
Global Teacher
A Global Teacher is a competent who is armed
with enough skills, appropriate attitude and
universal values to teach students with both time
tested as well as modern technologies in education
in any place in the world. He or she is someone who
thinks and acts both locally and globally with
worldwide perspectives, right in the communities
where he or she is situated.
Classroom Teacher

vs. School Teacher

vs. Global Teacher

Classroom Teacher
is someone that focuses on
their classroom and students
only.  Although there can be
a huge benefit to their own
students, this often leads to
weaker relationships with
other students.  They often
see other kids as someone
else’s issue and will avoid
dealing with them.  They also
keep their practices to
themselves and have their
classroom door closed,
sometimes literally, but most
often figuratively.
School Teacher Global Teacher
This to me was the ideal as this  has the best elements of
teacher connected with every the classroom and school tea
student in their classroom, as cher, but their focus is on
well as students and educators
“what is best for kids”, no
around the school.  They see
supervision as an opportunity to
matter if is their own kids,
connect with others and build kids in the school across the
relationships with kids.  They street, or across the ocean.
share their practices openly with  They got into teaching
others because their focus is because they love students
always on “what is best for and want to help every single
kids“.  If they can share one of them, no matter their
something, and you can take it, situation or location.
remix it, and use it for your
students, they make everyone
better.  They think of the school
as a village and their expertise
and experience is shared
exponentially not to only help
their kids, but all kids in their
school.
