Abstract

The World Council for Curriculum and Instruction is recognized by the United Nations in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) as a transnational educational organization committed in its mission to advancing the achievement of a just and peaceful world community and promoting person-to-person and  professional relationships. The WCCI in the Philippines is composed of  educators and professionals from all over the Philippines who join together in this person-to-person, non-governmental, and non-profit global organization, committed to active participation in efforts to achieve the purposes of the organization. The WCCI Philippines Student Teachers Network was established in 2011 primarily to develop excellent teachers who will be demonstrating their leadership skills in their  professional life,  which exposed them to the WCCI Special Interest Groups and motivated them to get actively involved in the current and future WCCI organization. The student officers were involved in the planning of the annual convention themes and objectives with varied committees. The participants were exposed to big and small group collaborative activities in varied special interest groups. It could therefore be concluded that varied roles and skills have been demonstrated by 21st Century learners and teachers. It is recommended that the organization should continue the active involvement of the education students in specific activities in varied capacities as members, officers, advisers, and researchers among others.
