This document discusses the roles of teachers in the classroom and community. It differentiates the National Competency Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) from the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). NCBTS defines effective teaching while PPST outlines what teachers need to know, value, and be able to do. Both standards have 7 domains but with some differences. The PPST replaces the NCBTS upon signing of DepEd Order No. 42 in 2017, which amended the previous DepEd order establishing the NCBTS.
