“THE GLOBAL FILIPINO TEACHER”
By Amir M. Aquino
2. Catharine Drew Gilpin Faust, the 28th President of
Harvard University once said: "I'm not the
woman president of Harvard, I'm the president
president of Harvard."
On October 12, 2007, Faust delivered her
installation address, saying:
"A university is not about results in the next
quarter; it is not even about who a student
has become by graduation. It is about
learning that molds a lifetime, learning that
transmits the heritage of millennia; learning
that shapes the future."
24. What is a global teacher?
QUICK ANSWER
A global teacher is an educator that incorporates various
global issues into their curriculum including
multiculturalism, economic, environmental and social
issues. The teacher expands the scope of their viewpoint
beyond the normal boundaries of the local classroom, as
students learn about diversity and how they fit into the
global society.
25. FULL ANSWER
According to The Guardian, global teaching is
used to "give students a global awareness and
emphasize the fact that we work in a global
market and if the students can develop
interpersonal relationships with a sense of global
citizenry, then they will be successful in all that
they do."
26. As the world becomes more
interconnected, teachers are diversifying
their approach to education. Today, global
teaching is not only applied in the
classroom, but on social media platforms
which expose students to a large and
diverse population of ideas and cultures.
28. Obviously, teaching in the 21-century is an altogether
different phenomenon; never before could learning be
happening the way it is now -- everywhere, all the time,
on any possible topic, supporting any possible learning
style or preference. But what does being a 21st-century
teacher really mean?

38. “I have learned early on as a young educator that the Filipino
teacher is not inferior to anyone across the globe. I grew up
reading success stories of great Filipino educators who
started things in the simplest ways inside the simplest
classrooms. They dreamed of greater things, and as they did
so, they were doing great for their students.”
