Do not abandon a career goal!
A well thought out goal can anticipate barriers that would stop you. Barriers that come up often
cause an individual to leave behind a goal. Its like running into a wall, and then you run away from it.
Suppose you want to go from a classroom teacher to a principal. Before you act and pursue this goal, ask
yourself.

Why do I want to achieve this goal? Why is this important to me?
Career planning will help maximize your potential and satisfaction in your work. It will give you
confidence that you are in charge of your career and life and you have the power to decide, act, and do
want you want to accomplish your goals.

The Seven Domains of the National Competency Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS)
What does NCBTS stand for?
It is an integrated theoretical framework that defines the different dimensions of effective teaching.
National Competency Base National Competency-Based Teacher Standards
The Philippine NCBTS has defined what Effective Teaching is. It has clearly stated the strategic
and indispensable role of the Teacher in the learning process of the students.

According to the Framework This will allow teachers to self-assess their own performance against
the Competency Standards in order to identify areas of strength as well as areas that need to be developed
further in order for them to function more effectively as facilitators of learning.

Domain 1. Social Regard for Learning (SRFL)
This domain focuses on the ideal that teachers serve as positive and powerful role models of the
value in the pursuit of different efforts to learn. The teachers action, statements, and different types of
social interactions with students exemplify this ideal.
Domain 2. Learning Environment (LE)
This domain focuses on importance of providing a social, psychological and physical environment within
which all students, regardless of their individual differences in learning, can engage in the different
learning activities and work towards attaining high standards of learning

Domain 3. Diversity of Learners (DOL)
The DOL domain emphasizes the ideal that teachers can facilitate the learning process even with diverse
learners, by recognizing and respecting individual differences and by using knowledge about their
differences to design diverse sets of learning activities to ensure that all learners can attain the desired
learning goals.
Domain 4. Curriculum (Curr.)
The curriculum domain refers to all elements of the teaching-learning process that work in convergence to
help students understand the curricular goals and objectives, and to attain high standards of learning
defined in the curriculum. These elements include the teachers knowledge of subject matter and the
learning process, teaching-learning approaches and activities, instructional materials and learning
resources.
Domain 5. Planning, Assessing & Reporting (PAR)

aspirations of the learners in their homes and communities. Thus, this domain focuses on teachers efforts
directed at strengthening the links between schools and communities to help in the attainment of the
curricular goals.
Domain 7. Personal Growth & Professional Development (PGPD)
