Harvard University once said: "I'm not the

On October 12, 2007, Faust delivered her

"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."

23. THE GLOBAL FILIPINO TEACHER
By Prof. Amir M. Aquino

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.

33. Definition of Global Competence for Teachers
Together, these and related elements led to the development of this
definition of global competence for teachers:
"Global competence in teachers is a set of essential
knowledge, critical dispositions, and performances that help
foster development of learners' global competence. A
globally competent teacher has knowledge of the world,
critical global issues, their local impact, and the cultural
backgrounds of learners; manifests intercultural sensitivity
and acceptance of difference; incorporates this knowledge
and sensitivity into classroom practice; and, develops the
skills to foster these dispositions, knowledge, and
performances in learners. The teacher models socially
responsible action and creates opportunities for learners to
engage in socially responsible action." © NAFSA: Association of

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.”
