Teacher competencies were evaluated using the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) across seven domains: social regard for learning, learning environment, diversity of learners, curriculum, planning, assessing and reporting, community linkages, and personal growth and professional development. Findings revealed that teachers generally rated themselves as highly competent in five of the seven domains, indicating strengths that support their effectiveness as educators and alignment with national standards.

Based on these findings, teachers’ learning and development needs were assessed and mapped to inform a sustained faculty development plan aimed at enhancing professional competence and teaching effectiveness.]]>
