Proficient I consider myself to be a Proficient teacher, however as in all things I am always learning to grow and improve. A proficient teacher is one who can enter a class/ course with the confidence to make a plan to meet the educational goals of the course. In order to do this the teacher must know how learn where the students are beginning from and create an organized plan to move from where students are to where you want students to be. In order to meet these goals a proficient teacher will draw on a variety of resources and strategies that have been learned and developed over time in the classroom. 2.

I have given great consideration to local knowledge, values, culture, 21st century skills, and international developments.

b. the learning environment

c. the pay

I enjoy all three of these, as they are all better than teaching in my home country. I appreciate working with learners who care to learn, and having a good wage makes it easier for me to feel good about my situation. However, when I am experiencing a high level of stress and work in the school, I find that is the learners themselves that make it easiest for me to find the motivation to keep doing a good job. I find that the only reason that makes any sense to me, to continue in a difficult profession like teaching is students. A teacher who does this job mostly for the money, will decide quickly that there are easier ways to make money. 4. How do you consider yourself as a teacher? Please explain. a. local

Glocal. I am not local. My approach to teaching is drastically different from that of the local environment of my school. I place a lot of effort on understanding the world around us, I

fall into the category of doing my best to use my personal point of view to understand that of my students and help them to better understand the global world.

REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS

1. Who is a glocal teacher? What are the attributes of the glocal teacher? A glocal teacher is the one who think internationally, and must possess a wider range of knowledge and is furnished with enough skills, appropriate attitude and universal values to teach learners at home or abroad but is equipped with both time tested as well as modern technologies in education in any time and any place in the world. Thus, a glocal teacher, teaches in the local communities but someone who thinks and acts both locally and globally, meaning he/she has to be open-minded on world issues and events that can be a benefit to his locale. Aside from this, a glocal teacher understand how this world is interconnected, are creative and innovative, understand, respect and tolerant of the diversity of cultures because no students are the same, all students are unique and have differences. As glocal teachers, he/she must accommodate the cultural differences and commonalities of his/her students. They have to feel that they can relate on their different culture and one must not be discriminated because of being different. He/she must have a connection with the learners, and always put in mind that aside from teaching the students on how to be globally competent, he/she must teaches the student moral values and help develop their characters. 2. Can the teacher whom you have interviewed be classified as a glocal teacher? Why? Why not? The teachers whom we have interviewed can be classified as glocal teachers because they both possess the quality a glocal teacher should have. They equipped their learners with the necessary skills to become a globally competent persons, thus by using 21st century learning assessments that sharpens their learning and thinking skills. In teaching, they discussed about important global issues,uses global examples and have better knowledge in using modern technologies that they can teach to their students. Not only they sharpens the learning and thinking skills of their learners, they also teaches life skills, especially leadership, ethics, self-direction and personal responsibilities. Mr. Robert Monsueto, which is a Filipino, is considered as a glocal teacher even if he is teaching from another country because sharing the knowledge and teaching techniques are not limited to be use inside the country because we can also teach the world with what we know. Teachers with global preparedness can be qualified to teach anywhere in the world or teach his/her students the difference between our curriculum and in other countries. 3. Can one be a global teacher, without teaching abroad? Write your insight. One can be a global teacher without teaching abroad because being a global teacher doesn't mean we have to teach from another country. It is not about where we teach, it is about what we teach and how we teach our students. To become a global teacher, one should broaden his/her teaching perspectives and shouldn’t be afraid of

dealing with other people and expanding their experiences beyond the confines of their classrooms, schools or communities. The wider the learning environment, the higher the chance of achieving global competitiveness. As long as he/she incorporates various global issues into their curriculum including multiculturalism, economic, environmental and social issues, he/she can be considered as a global teacher. Aside from this, in today's generation, the advancement of our technologies have been massive, that means global teaching is not only applied in the classroom nor we have to go abroad to teach because the internet globalized communication allowing us to communicate and teach from people around the world. Lastly, on becoming a global teacher, the teacher shall expand the scope of their viewpoint beyond the normal boundaries of the local classroom, which would help the students learns about diversity and how they can fit into the global society. 4. Reflect on the statement: "As a glocal teacher, act locally but think globally." There is no doubt that a teacher is one of the reasons who help shape the way children grow beyond the subject they teach. A glocal teacher is someone who acts locally but think globally, which means that he/she must be properly and fully equipped with different skills, aware of modern technologies, having universal values and have a wide range of perspectives. He/she has to be open-minded on world issues and events. He/she must incorporates various global issues into their curriculum including multiculturalism, economic, environmental and social issues and how we might solve them because even though students are aware of these issues, they might not think that the issues directly affect them. So in order to engage them, the teacher must include real life examples that is happening around the world. The statement "As a glocal teacher, act locally but think globally" may mean that even if he/she teaches in his hometown, he/she must apply global perspective and should have a "world-class" teaching approach without disregarding the culture of the students for the students' better understanding....
