Abstract

The study analyzed the profile and extent of alignment between the components of the Student Teaching Program (STP) and the domains and performance indicators of the National Competency- Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) as possible input to the improvement of the program including the appraisal system for practice teachers. Participants of the study were three purposively selected teacher education institutions (TEIs) in Metro Manila with 387 stakeholders surveyed. Document analysis verified through survey and unstructured interview examined the alignment of the components reflected in the documents of the STP of the sampled institutions. The study concluded that the STP of sampled TEIs is not fully aligned with the professional standards for teachers. Hence, a standardsbased pre-service teacher education curriculum, STP, and performance appraisal system for practice teachers are recommended to address this non-alignment of the STP components with the professional standards for teachers and to increase readiness of the graduates of teacher education programs to enter the teaching profession.
