17 ISSUES: Charter: Critics Market-oriented language Does not acknowledge the centrality of redistribution and economic solidarity to the goals of poverty eradication, social justice and lasting peace Non-participatory drafting process Codifies past agreements All about governments and not interaction with the people Unclear spaces of how civil society can participate Lack of disciplinary and dispute resolution mechanisms
18 New Charter: New ASEAN?

Elements of the Blueprint: political development, shaping and sharing of norms on counter terrorism and nuclear free zones, inter-state conflict prevention and post-conflict peace-building; combating terrorism
29 Political Security: points for discussion State-centric in perspective (national security) Existing internal conflicts should be addressed: over resources, over self-determination/identity Governments (policies) are sources of conflict Does not provide for political participation and representation of civil society No reference to international human rights standards>adherence to international standards and principles No dispute mechanism on internal conflicts, intra-state conflicts, separatism.

34 So what, Social Studies Teachers??? K to 12 Pamantayang pangnilalaman: Naipamamalas ang malalim na pag-unawa at pagpapahalaga sa kamalayan sa heograpiya, kasaysayan, kultura, lipunan, pamahalaan at ekonomiya ng mga bansa sa rehiyon tungo sa pagbubuo ng pagkakakilanlang Asyano at magkakatuwang na pag-unlad at pagharap sa mga hamon ng Asya.
35 Successful Teachers... They play an important role in achieving the balanced development of Filipino citizens and the nation. GLOCAL CITIZENS ---RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS They hone the life and technical skills to negotiate the complex world of life and work in the 21 st century; They collectively produce a variety of competent individuals sought by the labor market. They help create new knowledge and technologies that ensure the global competitiveness
36 KAMUSTA KA? Challenge your own way of teaching be reflective Learn from others benchmark, collaborate, share and innovate (attend conferences, lectures, join PLCs, TQC, LAC etc.) most importantly READ, READ & READ. Are you an ASEANER??? ASEAN people have to think, feel and act ASEAN learn a new ASEAN language or two
37 As teachers, How are we to contribute to Socio-cultural community? Economic community? Security community? Do we ready our students for JOBS ACROSS BORDERS? It requires changes in human resource education and training for ASEAN WORK. ASEAN education from pre-school to university, more focus on ASEAN content. We must change to contribute to ASEAN economy and creation of jobs.
38 Set the Stage ENVISION A CLEAR LEVERAGED PATH: Eight Steps Towards Successful Change Inspired by the Penguin Story in Kotter and Rathgeber s insightful book Our Iceberg is Melting (2005), DC-SLMES charted the future based on Four Movements & Eight Strategic Steps. 1. Create a sense of urgency. Help others see the need for change and the importance of acting immediately. 2. Pull together the Guiding Team. Make sure there is a powerful group guiding the change - one with leadership skills, credibility, communications ability, authority, analytical skills, and a sense of urgency.
39 Decide what to Do 3. Develop the change Vision and Strategy. Clarify how the future will be different from the past, and how you can make the future a reality. Make it Happen 4. Communicating for Understanding and Buy In. Make sure as many others as possible understand and accept the vision and the strategy. 5. Empower Others to Act. Bring Out the Best in Others Remove as many barriers as possible so that those who want to make the vision a reality can do so. 6. Produce Short-Term Wins. Create some visible, unambiguous successes as soon as possible.
40 7. Don t Let Up. Press harder and faster after the first successes. Be relentless with initiating change after change until the vision is a reality. Make it Stick 8. Create a New Culture. Hold on to the new ways of behaving, and make sure they succeed, until they become strong enough to replace old traditions.
41 We must live by the love of what we will never see such disciplined love is what has given prophets, revolutionaries, and saints the courage to die for the future they envisaged. They make their own bodies the seed of their highest hope. - Rubem Alves
