What is NCBTS?
The NCBTS is an integrated theoretical framework that defines the different dimensions
of effective teaching, where effective teaching means being able to help all types of
students learn the different learning goals in the curriculum.
The NCBTS Framework is divided in 7 Domains:
1. Social Regard for Learning (SRFL)
2. Learning Environment (LE)
3. Diversity of Learners (DOL)
4. Curriculum (Curr.)
5. Planning, Assessing Reporting (PAR)
6. Community Linkages (CL)
7. Personal Growth & Professional Development (PGPD)
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)
The SRFL domain focuses on the idea that teachers serve as positive and powerful role models
of value in the pursuit of different efforts to learn. The teacher's 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 teacher's
knowledge of subject matter and the learning process, teaching-learning approaches and
activities, instructional materials and learning resources.
Domain 5. Planning, Assessing & Reporting (PAR)
This domain refers to the alignment of assessment and planning activities. In particular, the PAR
focuses on the (1) use of assessment data to plan and revise teaching-learning plans; (2)
integration of assessment procedures in the plan and implementation of teaching-learning
activities; and (3) reporting of the learners' actual achievement and behavior.
Domain 6. Community Linkages (CL)
The LC domain refers to the ideal that classroom activities are meaningfully linked to the
experiences and 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)
The PGPD domain emphasizes the idea that teachers value having a high personal regard for
the teaching profession, concern for professional development, and continuous improvement
as teachers.
