The NCBTS is a framework that defines effective teaching which means helping all students learn curriculum goals. It provides a single framework to define teaching that should minimize confusion and guide teacher development programs from school to national levels. The framework contains 7 domains that describe the different dimensions of teaching: social regard for learning, learning environment, diversity of learners, curriculum, planning/assessing/reporting, community linkages, and personal growth. Each domain contains competencies that effective teachers demonstrate.

12. I wish I could persuade every teacher to be proud of his occupation not
conceited or pompous, but proud. People who introduce themselves
with the shame remark that they are, “Just Teachers”, gives me despair
in my heart. Did you ever hear a lawyer say depreciatingly that he was
only a patent attorney? Did you ever hear a physician say “I am just a
brain surgeon?” I beg of you to stop apologizing for being a member of
the most important profession in the world. Draw yourself up to full
height, look at anybody squarely in the eye and say, “I am a Teacher.”
- William Garr
