Southeast Asia Regional Standards for Mathematics Teachers (SEARS-MT)
Definition of Key Terms The Dimensions represent four main areas of teacher quality. They provide an overarching structure to the standards. While they bring focus to the four main separate areas of teacher quality, they are not mutually exclusive, as some aspects of quality teaching may involve more than one dimension.
The Standards provide specific information about the Dimensions by describing elements of each Dimension. They articulate what teachers are expected to possess, know and do.
The Standards and their descriptors represent an analysis of effective, contemporary practice by teachers throughout the SEAMEO region.
The Indicators allow for another level of specificity of the Standards. Indicators provide further details about the Standards by identifying desirable qualities of teachers, and contemporary practice by teachers throughout the SEAMEO region. Their development includes a synthesis of the descriptions of teachers knowledge, practice and professional engagement.
The Local Descriptors provide greater specificity in terms of how Indicators could manifest within local cultural and educational contexts of SEAMEO countries. Each SEAMEO country will construct their own local descriptors which will articulate how the standards and indicators are operationalised to their respective countries.
