Indeed, as technology advances and floodgates of information abound, societies still recognize how crucial the teaching profession is in producing best human resources possible. To offer an authentic teacher's evaluation, the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) had identified teaching competency standards of the different countries that are often intended to serve the purpose of providing feedback, guidance for improving professional practice and characterize a competent teacher. This axiomatic deductive theory approach study emphasized the significance of the competency standard in evaluating teachers in their field of specialization. Thus, this aimed to inquire and explore the efficiency of the common domains of teaching competency standard for some Asian teachers. The analysis of the teachers' classroom observations, surveys, interviews and student's evaluations to their teachers has come out that competency standard in evaluating teachers is very useful in teaching their field and defined quality teaching that influenced student's achievements and success. It improved their performances such us in professional knowledge, skills, characteristics, personal ethical standards & values and development.
