Why it matters
From unknowingly efficient to knowingly efficient
Good teachers do many things well without naming them. When you can see your competencies clearly, you can repeat what works, strengthen what doesn’t and plan your growth with intent.
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”
What a competency is
Skill + Knowledge + Behaviour
A competency is the combination of all three. Think of a driver: knowing the accelerator, brake and clutch is knowledge; steering and changing gears is skill; and how they drive, rash or safe, is behaviour.
- Skill
- What you can do in the classroom
- Knowledge
- What you know about your subject and teaching
- Behaviour
- How you act with students, every day
Five levels
Every competency, five levels of practice
Competency levels are degrees of variation in a competency. Every teacher asks students questions, but to what extent? Here is Probing, one of the competencies, described at each level.
- Level 1BasicAsks question to the student whenever there is noise in the class in order to bring the class to the attention.
- Level 2AverageAsks the open ended and closed ended questioning system in the middle of the class
- Level 3Above AverageFrames the questions in advance and applies the questions at an appropriate time
- Level 4GoodFrames the questions for all frequently asked doubts and clarify doubts through "Reflection" technique with the help of probing tool.
- Level 5OutstandingFrames the questions on real time applications and clarify the doubts thru "reflection" technique with the help of probing tool
Competency: Probing. Level descriptions from the OD Interface framework.

Teaching draws on four kinds of competency
Functional competencies
Skills professionals use daily or regularly. Job-specific competencies that drive quality results and assured performance.
Managerial competencies
The knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes a manager needs to be effective across a wide range of roles and settings.
Behavioural competencies
The sum of traits, abilities and motivations needed to deliver effective performance, whatever your role.
Linguistic competencies
The knowledge of language that lets a speaker use and understand it well, in the classroom and beyond.
Questions
What teachers ask us
Is this a pass or fail test?
No. Teach the Teacher shows where you stand in each competency, from Basic to Outstanding, so you can see what to build on and what to develop next. It is a development tool, not an examination.
What kind of questions will I answer?
Each question describes a real classroom situation and offers five possible responses. You choose the one you would most likely do. Each response reflects a different level of teaching practice.
How many competencies are assessed?
That depends on your package. Silver covers about 10 competencies, Gold about 12 and Platinum about 14. You will see the exact list and the number of questions before you start.
Does my teaching experience affect my score?
No. Your experience helps decide the mix of questions you receive, so the assessment suits your career stage. Your result depends only on your responses.
Ready to see your teaching clearly?
Take the assessment on your own, or bring your whole school along.
