EACHERS play a crucial role in improving the quality of the
teaching and learning process. Good teachers are vital to
raising student achievement. Hence, enhancing teacher
quality ranks foremost in the many educational reform
efforts toward quality education.
To complement reform initiatives on teacher quality, the Philippine
Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) has been developed and nationally
validated. This was signed into policy by Department of Education (DepEd)
Secretary Maria Leonor Briones through DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2017.
The PPST articulates what constitutes teacher quality through well-defined
domains, strands and indicators that provide measures of professional learning,
competent practice and effective engagement across teachers’ career stages.
This document serves as a public statement of professional accountability that
can help teachers reflect on and assess their own practices as they aspire for
personal growth and professional development.
In 2015, the DepEd issued Order No. 2, s. 2015 — “Guidelines on the
Establishment and Implementation of the Results-based Performance
Management System (RPMS) in the Department of Education” following Civil
Service Commission Memorandum Circular No. 06, s. 2012 or the Strategic
Performance Management System (SPMS) to ensure efficient, timely and
quality performance among personnel.
The guidelines explain mechanisms, criteria and processes for performance
target setting, monitoring, evaluation and development planning. Through
the RPMS, the DepEd ensures that work efforts focus towards achieving its
vision, mission, values and strategic priorities toward the delivery of quality
educational services to Filipino learners.
The alignment of the RPMS with the Philippine Professional Standards for
Teachers has led to the development of new results-based assessment tools;
hence, this Manual on RPMS Tools for Teachers.
This Manual provides information and guidance to Teachers and School
Heads in the performance assessment process. For Teachers, the Manual
guides them through the basics in preparing and completing RPMS documents.
It describes the appropriate tools to assess performance and explains the
different assessment phases for teachers. It also introduces the concept of
annotations to guide teachers through critical reflection of their practices for
their continuous improvement.
For School Heads and other Raters, this Manual contains all the information
needed to assess teacher performance. It provides a detailed reference to help
in the understanding of the tools and the different phases of assessment within
the various cycles of RPMS, ensuring that mechanisms are in place to support
teacher performance.

1.1 Who uses the RPMS Tools?

Raters and Ratees from across career stages use the RPMS Tools for gauging the
quality of teacher performance.
Raters refer to the School Heads (e.g. Principals, Teachers-in-Charge, Head

Teachers), Department Heads and/or Master Teachers who assess teacher
portfolios to gauge teacher performance.
Ratees are the teachers from all career stages, Teacher I-III and Master Teacher
I-IV who submit their portfolios as evidence of their teaching performance.
Senior High School teachers, including those who are in probationary status,
shall use the tools corresponding to their current rank/position, regardless of
the years in service.
1.2 What are the RPMS Tools?

RPMS Tools pertain to the two different teacher performance assessment
instruments, one for Teacher I-III (Proficient Teachers) and another for Master Teacher
I-IV (Highly Proficient Teachers).
Each tool describes the duties and responsibilities of teachers across career stages;
the Key Result Areas (KRAs) for the realization of those duties and the specific objectives
to attain the KRAs. Each tool also presents in detail the various Means of Verification
(MOV) that serve as proof of the attainment of specific objectives alongside performance
indicators, from outstanding to poor performance, to help both Ratees and Raters in the
assessment process.

1.3. What are the parts of the RPMS Tools?

All RPMS Tools contain the following parts:
1.3.1 Job Summary. This part shows the position and the competency profile of
the ratee.
1.3.2 Qualification Standards. This part lists the Civil Service Commission (CSC)
requirements and other preferred requirements for the particular position.

Figure 1.3. Duties and Responsibilities of Teacher I-III
1.3.4 Key Result Areas. They refer to the general outputs or outcome–
the mandate or the functions of the office and/or the individual
employee. The KRAs are the very reasons why an office and/or a job
exists (D.O. No. 2, s. 2015).
In the context of the RPMS Tools, the KRAs capture the Domains of
the PPST – a document that defines teacher quality in the country.
The KRAs are: (1) Content Knowledge and Pedagogy, (2) Learning
Environment and Diversity of Learners, (3) Curriculum and Planning,
(4) Assessment and Reporting, and the (5) Plus Factor.
1.3.5 Objectives. They are specific tasks that an office and/or

individual employee needs to do to achieve the KRAs.
In the RPMS Tools, teachers target thirteen (13) objectives to

realize the five (5) KRAs. These objectives are aligned with the
indicators of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers
(PPST).

1.3.6 Means of Verification (MOV). The MOV column gives Ratees and Raters list
of documents that can prove the teachers’ attainment of objectives. They
have been judiciously selected to show evidence of attainment of objectives.
Teachers gather, select, organize and annotate MOV to help Raters in
assessing teacher performance.
MOV include classroom observation tool (COT) rating sheet and/or inter-
observer agreement form; lesson plans/modified daily lesson logs (DLLs);
instructional materials; formative and summative assessment tools;
compilations of student outputs; certificates of attendance to professional
development activities like graduate studies, seminars, forums, and/or
learning action cells; and evidence showing the conduct of collaborative
activities with parents/colleagues/other stakeholders.

1.3.7 Performance Indicators. This part provides the exact quantification

of objectives, which shall serve as the assessment tool that gauges
whether performance is positive or negative (D.O. No. 2 s. 2015).
In the RPMS Tools, the performance indicators provide descriptions

of quality and quantity given five performance levels: 5-Outstanding,
4-Very Satisfactory, 3-Satisfactory, 2-Unsatisfactory, and 1-Poor.
• Outstanding performance means the Ratee has presented all
the MOV listed under number 5.
9
THE RPMS MANUAL
• Very Satisfactory performance means that the Ratee has

presented the required MOV listed under number 4.
• Satisfactory performance means that the Ratee has presented
the required MOV listed under number 3.
• Unsatisfactory performance means that the Ratee has
presented any of the given MOV under number 2.
• Poor performance means that the Ratee has not presented any
of the acceptable MOV.
Figure 1.7. Performance Indicators of Teacher I-III
The performance indicators of the RPMS Tools for Teachers operationalize

the performance measures, namely quality, efficiency and timeliness required by
the D.O. No. 2, s. 2015. Figure 1.8 shows the different categories of performance
measures and their operational definition.

problems are solved. In management, effectiveness relates to getting the right
things done.
The extent to which time or resources is used for the intended task or purpose.
Measures whether targets are accomplished with a minimum amount of
Efficiency quantity of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort.
In management, efficiency relates to doing the things right.
Measures whether the deliverable was done on time based on the

requirements of the rules and regulations, and/or clients/stakeholders.
Timeliness
Time-related performance indicators evaluate such things as project
completion deadlines, time management skills and other time-sensitive
expectations.
Figure 1.8. Performance Measures (D.O. No. 2, s. 2015)
The performance indicators need not have all three (3) categories. Some
performance may only be rated on quality and efficiency, some on quality
and timeliness and others on efficiency only. Figure 1.9 illustrates how the
performance measures are embedded in the performance indicators of the
RPMS Tools.

2. Refer to the MOV column for the checklist of the relevant documents needed.
Keep relevant documents as they become available throughout the

year. For example, after your Principal has observed your class and has
given you the COT rating sheet or inter-observer agreement form, keep/
insert the document in the corresponding folder or envelope labeled COT
Rating Sheet.
For easy organization, you may have a folder or envelope to

contain the same kinds of documents.
For example, you have an envelope containing COT rating sheet
and/or inter-observer agreement form and an envelope containing
your lesson plans or modified Daily Lesson Logs (DLLs).
Label the envelope with the name of the document contained in
it for easy retrieval later.
3. Gather documents required by the tool. Label and organize them accordingly.
To prepare your documents in time for the RPMS mid-year review or

year-end assessment of your Portfolio, you need to organize documents
properly and accurately.
In some cases, you gather/keep documents that you may not be able
to use in your Portfolio. Follow these steps to ensure that only the required
documents go into your Portfolio. Remember that you may have to go back
and forth in the process.
The MOV collected after Phase 3 on the last week of April, e.g. Brigada
Eskwela documentations, certificates from seminars/workshops,
may be included in your Portfolio for the next rating period.

THE RPMS MANUAL
i. Match your documents with the objectives, the performance

indicators and the MOV. You may start from Objective 1.
If you are a Teacher II and you hope to achieve a rating of Very

Satisfactory in Objective 1, you need: (i) 3 classroom observation
tool rating sheets and/or inter-observer agreement forms
showing your knowledge of content and its integration within and
across curriculum teaching areas with a rating of 6; and (ii) another
MOV (e.g. lesson plans/modified DLLs, instructional materials,
performance tasks/test materials, or others – all showing your
knowledge of content and its integration within and across subject
areas) to support each COT rating sheet.
ii. Mark your document(s) with the objective(s) where the

document(s) may be used as MOV. You may use a pencil for this.
This helps you organize your MOV later on based on objectives.
iii. Use markers to highlight the parts of your MOV that satisfy the
requirement of the objectives and the performance indicators.
This facilitates the Rater’s evaluation of your documents.
iv. Reproduce the document(s) that may be used as MOV in

other objectives. Ensure that the copies are clear.
Remember that one document may be used as MOV or evidence

of performance for other objectives. For example, if you are a
Teacher II, your COT rating sheet may contain rating or feedback
about: (i) knowledge of content (Objective 1); (ii) teaching strategies
that develop critical and creative thinking (Objective 3); and (iii)
differentiated, developmentally appropriate learning experiences
(Objective 6).
v. Put together documents that belong to the same objective. You

may bind them together or place them in a folder marked according
to objective.
vi. Insert documents in relevant folders as they become available.
4. Put annotation template/document after the annotated MOV.

Annotations establish a connection between the evidences and the
indicators. This helps the Rater facilitate the review of the RPMS Portfolio.

3.1. What is the Portfolio Assessment Process?

Assessing the Teacher Portfolio is one of the most crucial processes in ensuring teacher
quality. The Portfolio assessment process is done across all phases of RPMS.
The Portfolio pre-assessment process, which focuses on Portfolio preparation, happens
in Phase I of the RPMS Process: Performance Planning and Commitment. It ensures that
teachers understand the Key Result Areas (KRAs), the objectives, the performance indicators
in the RPMS tool and the means of verification (MOV) to improve performance. It allows
teachers to select and prepare appropriate documents and attest to their authenticity.
Meanwhile, the Portfolio assessment process is covered in RPMS Phase II (Performance
Monitoring and Coaching) and Phase III (Performance Review and Evaluation). It involves
teacher self-assessment and Rater’s assessment of the Portfolio.
Finally, the Portfolio post-assessment process that occurs in RPMS Phase III (Performance
Review and Evaluation) and Phase IV (Performance Rewarding and Development Planning),
aims to help teachers improve their performance. It focuses on the conduct of teacher and
rater conference on the results of the portfolio assessment process.
See Figure 3.2 on Page 21
3.1.1 Pre-Assessment
Step 1: Review the Philippine
Professional Standards for
Teachers.
Familiarize yourself with the
new set of professional standards
for teachers since it has been
integrated in the RPMS tools.
The set of standards describes
seven Domains of teacher
quality: Content Knowledge and
Pedagogy; Learning Environment;
Diversity of Learners; Curriculum
and Planning; Assessment and
Reporting; Community Linkages
and Professional Engagement; and
Personal Growth and Professional
Development. These Domains are
presented as five KRAs in the RPMS Figure 3.1. A Rater reading the Philippine

Figure 3.3. A Rater determines the corresponding RPMS tool for the Teacher/Ratee
Step 3: Guide the Ratee in understanding the appropriate RPMS Tool and
the Individual Performance Commitment Review Form (IPCRF). Teachers
need to be clear about the various elements and the language of the tool, so you can
guide them in understanding the following elements:
• objectives to be met per KRA;
• specific performance rating from Outstanding to Poor performance;
• performance indicators per level; and
• MOV to prove the level of performance
Step 4: Advise the Teacher/Ratee to accomplish the IPCRF.

Agree on the performance indicators to be achieved as identified for each
of the individual objectives in the appropriate RPMS tool. See the sample
on page 23.
Step 5: Guide the Teachers in preparing documents and organizing

3.1.2 Assessment
This phase focuses on the actual assessment of the Teacher Portfolio.

At this stage, you will examine the Portfolio against the corresponding
RPMS Tool and the IPCRF.
You will assess the Portfolio twice, first during the mid-year review and
second during the year-end evaluation. In the year-end review, fill out the
column that says “Actual Results” in the IPCRF. See Figure 3.23 on page 34.
Step 1: Rate the Portfolio based on the MOV presented.

Examine the MOV presented by the teacher and rate the teacher’s level
of performance using the 5-point scale:
5 - Outstanding
4 - Very Satisfactory
3 - Satisfactory
2 - Unsatisfactory
1 - Poor
For instance, in Objective 1 for Teacher I-III (Applied knowledge of content

within and across curriculum teaching areas), the Ratee has targeted a Very
Satisfactory performance (Level 4). To meet the requirements for a Level
4 performance, the Ratee needs to apply knowledge of content and its
integration within and across subject areas as evidently shown in 3 lessons
using MOV 1 (COT rating sheet and/or inter-observer agreement form) with
a rating of 6, each supported by any one (1) of the other given MOV, e.g.,
MOV 4 (Performance tasks/test materials highlighting integration of content
knowledge within and across subject areas).
Ensure that that the quantitative and the qualitative feedback

in the Classroom Observation Tool (COT) are consistent. If
inconsistent, request the Ratee to confer with the observer again.
24
Embedded in the performance indicators of the RPMS Tools for Teachers are
relevant dimensions of performance measures required by the D.O. No. 2, s. 2015.
Figure 3.6 shows the definition of these performance measures, namely quality/
effectiveness, efficiency and timeliness.
Performance Measures
CATEGORY DEFINITION
The extent to which actual performance compares with targeted

performance.
Effectiveness/
Quality The degree to which objectives are achieved and the extent to which
targeted problems are solved. In management, effectiveness relates to
getting the right things done.
The extent to which time or resources is used for the intended task or
purpose. Measures whether targets are accomplished with a minimum
Efficiency amount of quantity of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort.
In management, efficiency relates to doing the things right.
Measures whether the deliverable was done on time based on the

requirements of the rules and regulations, and/or clients/stakeholders.
Timeliness Time-related performance indicators evaluate such things as project
completion deadlines, time management skills and other time-sensitive
expectations.
Figure 3.6. Performance Measures (D.O. No. 2, s. 2015)
The MOV presented by teachers are rated based on these performance

measures. Figure 3.7 shows the sample IPCRF highlighting quality/effectiveness,
efficiency and timeliness of the performance indicator.

Sample School Scenario for Master Teachers

Teacher Grace, a Master Teacher II of Calauag East Central School, submits her
Portfolio for rating. She includes the following MOV under KRA 1 Objective 1:
• Four COT Rating Sheets with a rating of level 7 on effective applications of
content knowledge within and across curriculum teaching areas for 4 lessons.
- COT 1 is supported by 1 DLL used in demonstration teaching highlighting
integration of content knowledge within and across subject areas;
- COT 2 is supported by 1 set of instructional materials developed highlighting
effective application of content knowledge within and across subject areas;
- COT 3 is supported by 1 performance task/test material used in
demonstration teaching across subject areas; and
- COT 4 is supported by results of assessment used in demonstration
teaching highlighting mastery of lessons learned
Teacher Grace receives an average rating of 4.500 (Outstanding) for KRA 1

Objective 1. Why?
Teacher Grace models effective applications of content knowledge within and
across curriculum teaching areas as evidenced by the following:

Therefore, Teacher Grace got a corresponding rating of 4 in the RPMS 5-point scale for
Quality for each submitted COT rating sheet with a rating of 7. Each COT is supported by a
DLL, a set of instructional material used, performance tasks/test materials and results of
assessment. She also got a rating of 5 for Efficiency having submitted the required number of
MOV. The computation is shown below:

Sample School Scenario for Teacher I-III
For KRA 4 Objective 11, Teacher Adelyn submits a compilation of learner’s

written works with summary of results, a formative assessment tool with Table of
Specifications and frequency of errors, a class record and DLLs showing index of
mastery at the end of two quarters.
Teacher Adelyn gets an average rating of 3.000 (Satisfactory) for KRA 4 Objective 11.
Why?
Teacher Adelyn shows monitoring and evaluation of learner progress and

achievement using learner attainment data by providing the following supporting MOV:
• a compilation of learner’s written works with summary of results;
• a formative assessment tool with Table of Specifications and frequency of
errors;
• a class record; and
• DLLs showing index of mastery
All MOV submitted were gathered across 2 quarters.
Let us now compare the presented MOV to the acceptable MOV in the RPMS Tool for
Teacher I-III.

Figure 3.10. A table of sample submitted MOV for Teacher I-III

Therefore, Teacher Adelyn got a rating of 3 (Satisfactory) for Quality as evidenced
by the valid MOV. Although she submitted 4 MOV, only 2 were valid which gave her a
rating of 3 for Efficiency. She submitted these MOV across 2 quarters; hence, she got
a rating of 3 for Timeliness. On average, Teacher Adelyn got a rating of 3.000 for KRA
4 Objective 11.
The computation is shown below:

There are instances, however, that Teachers may submit classroom

observation rating sheets that have different ratings.
For example, a Teacher III may submit 4 COT rating sheets: COT 1 with
a rating of 7; COT 2 with a rating of 6; COT 3 and 4 with a rating of 5.
To get the rating for Quality, the following steps must be done:
• Identify the corresponding rating in the RPMS 5-point scale for
each COT rating. Refer to Table 3.12 for the mapping of COT
Rating for Proficient Teachers and Highly Proficient Teachers
and the RPMS 5-point scale.
COT Rating COT Rating

Step 2: Explain your Rating, if needed.
To help the Ratees enrich their Portfolios, provide reasons for your rating and
suggest strategies in improving the quality of the Portfolios.
A sample feedback on a Teacher Portfolio appears below.
Sample Feedback of a Principal

Good! Lessons presented in Araling Panlipunan, Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao
and MTB emphasized the integration of other subjects and content areas.
The attached COT further proves the integration. The modified DLL also
shows the teacher’s creativity in designing tasks and visual aids.
However, integration becomes more effective if the students are able to apply
the concepts to their real life experiences, so you can add other activities where
they will use the concepts in their everyday experiences.
In so doing, you can actually meet the requirements for the higher performance
level.
Keep up the good work!

Mid-year Review
Mid-year Review gives you the chance to confer with the teachers for them
to improve performance. Usually, the mid-year review is conducted in October
or November. You need to provide suggestions, recommendations and/or the
most appropriate technical assistance to support teachers in achieving their
targets. Note that the mid-year review is for performance monitoring and
coaching. The final rating depends solely on the year-end evaluation.
Step 1: Assess the Teacher Portfolio using the IPCRF and the suggested
Mid-year Review Form (MRF).
See Figure 3.26 on page 38 for the suggested Mid-year Review
Form (MRF). You may write appropriate feedback/reflection notes to
give reasons for your initial ratings.
Step 2: Conduct Mid-year revie conference to discuss your initial ratings

with the Ratees.
Step 3: Discuss with the Ratees their respective performance concerns.
Step 4: Monitor teacher performance and coach them using the

Performance Monitoring and Coaching Form (PMCF) and Mid-year
Review Form (MRF).
The PMCF shall provide a record of significant incidents (actual events and
behavior in which both positive and negative performances are observed)
such as demonstrated behavior, competence and performance. Create an
enabling environment and intervention to improve teacher performance
and progress towards the accomplishment of objectives.

3.1.2.2 How do you assess the Competencies?

During the RPMS Phase 1, the Rater shall discuss with the Ratee
the competencies required of him or her. The demonstration of these
competencies shall be monitored to effectively plan the interventions
needed for development plans and shall be assessed at the end of the year.
Note that the assessment in the demonstration of competencies shall
not be reflected in the final rating. These competencies are monitored to
inform professional development plans.
Step 1: Discuss with the Ratee the set of competencies.

Discuss with the teacher the set of core behavioral competencies
demonstrated during the performance cycle. The list of competencies can
be found in Part II of Annex F, IPCRF. See p. 29 of D.O. No. 2, s. 2015.
Step 2: Assess the demonstration of competencies.

In the form provided in the Annex F, IPCRF, write the appropriate rating
inside the box for each competency using the 5-point scale shown below:
Scale Definition
5 Role Model
4 Consistently demonstrates
3 Most of the time demonstrates
2 Sometimes demonstrates
1 Rarely demonstrates
Figure 3.29. The DepEd Competencies Scale
5 - If all behavior per competency had been demonstrated

4 - If four behavioral indicators had been demonstrated
3 - If three competency indicators had been demonstrated
2 - If two competency indicators had been demonstrated
1 - If only one (1) behavioral indicator had been demonstrated
See Figure 3.28 for the sample assessment of the core behavioral
competencies.
After rating the Portfolio, determine the overall rating of the actual
accomplishments and results. The Rater and the Ratee should reach an
agreement by signing the IPCRF.

4.1 What are Annotations?

A teacher’s path towards personal growth and professional development involves
reflection and learning in order to improve practice. One way of doing this is to become
more actively engaged in the process of careful introspection and critical evaluation of
your teaching practice. An essential step towards becoming a more reflective practitioner
is through writing annotations in your professional development portfolios.
Annotations are self-reflections, explanations or presentational mark-ups attached
to documents, artifacts or Means of Verification (MOV) that you submit for the RPMS.
They are important in instances when the evidences or artifacts presented in teacher
portfolios cannot capture the whole
dynamics of the teaching and learning
process. Further, annotations establish
a connection between the evidences and
the Rater; thus, facilitating the review of I e n jo y

PROFESSIONAL REFLECTIONS THROUGH ANNOTATIONS
4.2 What is the Importance of Annotations?

Annotations allow you to exercise reflective thinking. They help you describe
your teaching experiences and explain instructional decisions. Annotations are
important because they:
• make your evidence speak on your behalf;

• highlight your professional strengths in teaching;
• help you reflect on your teaching practices that pave the way for
professional advancement;
• describe your intentions, goals and purposes towards career growth;
• present and explain credentials required by the Rater for ranking and
promotion; and
• make it easier for the Rater to rate your performance.
4.3 What do you Annotate?

When writing annotations, you need to present evidences of your best
practices in the various Key Result Areas. The following are possibilities
for annotations:
• documents/artifacts that show your creativity and
resourcefulness in teaching;
• evidence that may fully satisfy the requirements of the
performance indicators but do not clearly demonstrate their link
to the indicators themselves; and
• classroom context that explains your teaching practice and the
realities you face in the classroom/school/community context.
4.4 How do you write Annotations?

Annotations help your Rater understand the story behind the MOV
and be familiar with the documents being reviewed. The following may
help you write annotations for a particular MOV in your RPMS Portfolio:
Step 1. Describe the Means of Verification (MOV)

that you want to annotate.
The following questions may help you describe
the MOV that you want to annotate:
a. What is your MOV about?
b. How does your MOV meet the KRA’s objectives?
Step 2. Reflect on your MOV.

These questions may guide your reflection:
a. How does your MOV meet the objective?
b. What do you wish to highlight in your MOV in relation to the
objective?
c. What classroom contexts explain your practices as reflected
in your MOV?

5.1 What is Coaching?

Coaching is an interactive process where Raters and Ratees aim to
close performance gaps, teach skills, impart knowledge and inculcate
values and desirable work behaviors.
Competencies of an effective coach

The following are necessary competencies of an effective
coach:
• Self-clarity
• Communication
• Critical thinking
• Ability to build relationships and inspire
5.1.1 What is the difference among coaching,

mentoring and counselling?
Coaching is a process that enables learning and development
to occur and thus, improve performance.
Mentoring is an off-line help by one person to another in

making significant transitions in knowledge, work or thinking.
Counselling is a principled relationship characterized by

the application of one or more psychological theories and a
recognized set of communication skills, modified by experience,
intuition and other interpersonal factors, to clients’ intimate
concerns, problems or aspirations.

Figure 5.2. Coaching Model for DepEd
5.1.2.1 Coach for Improvement

Coach for work improvement is applied when performance
gaps are observed and identified.
Performance gaps refer to the difference between an

employee’s current performance and what is required or
expected. These can either be gaps concerning work behavior or
skills. They could be both.
51
THE RPMS MANUAL
Tips in Identifying Performance Gaps

1. Routinely monitor/check employee performance
against stated performance metrics or agreed upon
monthly or quarterly milestones vs. subordinates
annual goals.
2. Analyze the tasks that the employee is not doing well.
3. Identify the causes, behaviors that interfere with

goal accomplishment in controllable/uncontrollable
situations.
4. Try to draw facts from other sources when possible.
5. Avoid premature judgments.
Catch a problem early!

Figure 5.3. Possible causes of poor performance
5.1.2.2 Coach for Maximum Performance

Coach for maximum performance is applied to sustain employee’s
high performance and for continuous performance improvement.
It is also an opportunity to develop succession plans and career
development of high-performing and high-potential staff for promotion.
52
5.1.2.3 Coach to Strengthen Skills,

Competencies and Behavior
This model is applied to strengthen and/or develop new
competencies, skills, and behaviors.
It is also an opportunity to boost morale and confidence
of employees, as well as cultivate/raise the level of
performance.
5.1.3 What are the Four (4) Step Processes

of Coaching?
There are four (4) step processes that the coach and the coachee must
undertake to provide effective coaching.

53
THE RPMS MANUAL
Steps in conducting discussion and agreement sessions

Step 1: Opening /Climate Setting/ Establishing Rapport
(achieving a comfort level that encourages openness)
• Thank employee for making time for the meeting.
• Express your hope that you will find the meeting useful.
Step 2: Objective Setting

• Tell employee things he or she is doing right; express sincere
appreciation.
• Tell your reason for calling the meeting with him or her.
• Give feedback on performance deficiency you have observed.
• Listen with empathy, i.e. give an empathic response, paraphrase
what he or she had said, and reflect on his or her feelings.
Step 3: Discussion and Agreement Proper

• Tell what you want him or her to do, how you want it done, and why
(standards of performance).
• If possible, show (model) how it is done.
• Then ask him or her to do it while you observe.
• Give positive feedback and/or correction; offer suggestions.
• Let him or her know you respect his or her ability.
• Agree upon appropriate actions - employee’s and yours.
• Let him or her know you will closely monitor his or her performance.
Step 4: Closing
• Share how you feel about the meeting.
• Ask him or her how he or she feels about the meeting.
• Schedule a follow-up meeting on a specific date.
• Thank him or her and express confidence that he or she can do it.
Assure him or her of your support.
• Shake hands and smile, while maintaining eye contact.
54
Why follow-up?
• It provides opportunities to remind employees about goals and the
importance of these goals.
• Periodic checks give you a chance to offer positive feedback about the good
things that employees do.
• These checks can help spot small problems before they become large ones.
Performance monitoring shall be the responsibility of both the Rater and the
Ratee who agree to track and record significant incidents through the use of the
Performance Monitoring and Coaching Form (PMCF) shown in Figure 3.21 on page
37 of this Manual.
Is there a difference between Managing and Coaching?
Managing focuses on... Coaching focuses on...
Telling Exploring
Directing Facilitating
Authority Partnership
Immediate Needs Long-term Improvement
A Specific Outcome Many possible outcomes
Figure 5.5. Difference between managing and coaching
Performance Coaching is not…
• a one-time process
• fault-finding and does not put the employee down
• giving advice and does not involve the coach sharing his or her
personal experience or opinions/beliefs
55
THE RPMS MANUAL
Performance Coaching is...
• Creating the right atmosphere
Mutual Trust
• Develop mutual trust by demonstrating concern for the Coachee’s
well-being and success. Showing empathy, genuine interest,
consultation, providing opportunities for the Coachee to move ahead are
demonstrations of concern.
• Experience in the matter at hand. Trust can be gained when the coach has
a reputation of success in the area.
• Being as good as your word. Trust is built through repeated
demonstration. Do what you say everytime.
• Not disclosing information held in Coachee’s desire for confidentiality
Accountability for Results

• A person who is not held accountable for results will not take coaching
seriously.
• A formal coaching plan makes accountability explicit.
Motivation to Learn and Improve

(workplace motivations that encourage people)
• Mastering an important skill will open the door to advancement.
• An employee sees that improved productivity is reflected in his or her
paycheck.
• A person knows that his or her job is in danger unless he or she learns to do
a particular task better.
• An employee has reached the point where he or she is eager to learn
something new or move on to a more challenging job.
• Practice active listening

Active listening encourages communication and puts other people at
ease. An Active Listener pays attention to the speaker and practices the
following good listening skills:
• Maintain eye contact
• Smile at appropriate moments
• Be sensitive to body language
• Listen first and evaluate later
• Never interrupt except to ask for clarification
• Indicate that you are listening by repeating what was said about critical
points
• Asking the right questions

Asking the right questions will help the Coach to understand the Coachee
and get to the bottom of performance problems.
56
Two Forms of Questions:

A. Open-ended
These questions invite participation and idea sharing.
These help the coach to know the Coachee’s feelings, views
and deeper thoughts on the problem, and in turn, help to
formulate better advice.
B. Closed-ended
These questions lead to “YES” or “NO” answers.
Sample of Closed-ended questions:

• To focus the response: “Is the program / plan on
schedule?”
• To confirm what the other person has said: “So, your big
problem is scheduling your time?”
5.2 What is Performance Feedback?

Performance feedback is an ongoing process between an
employee and a manager where information concerning the
performance expected and performance exhibited/demonstrated is
exchanged.
Figure 5.7 shows that effective feedback giving during the

performance cycle results to a successful Performance Appraisal.

58
5.2.1 Why do we give feedback?

Feedback benefits the manager and employee and the organization. It can:
• build staff competence and confidence to achieve high performance;
• benefit the leader in his or her managerial and leadership functions; and
create a culture of performance excellence.
There are two types of feedback:
Type 1: Reinforce
This type of feedback identifies job-related behavior and performance
that contribute to individual, group and organizational goals. This
encourages the employee to repeat and develop them.
Type 2: Redirect
This type of feedback identifies job related behavior and performance
that do not contribute to individual, group and organizational goals and
helps the employee develop alternative strategies.
When is feedback effective?

Effective feedback should be specific; it tells your employees what
they did or did not accomplish, how they completed their tasks and
how effective their actions are.
Effective feedback is also timely, in order to reinforce positive actions

or provide alternative suggestions early enough that your employee
can adjust and enhance his or her performance.
• You give it early enough to create impact (adjust or enhance

performance)
• It is also important to know when to postpone the giving of
feedback.
Finally, feedback should be balanced, highlighting both the

employee’s strengths and areas for improvement.
59
THE RPMS MANUAL
5.2.2 What is STAR Feedback Model?

For effective feedback-giving performance, the STAR Model is applied.
Figure 5.8. The STAR Feedback Model
S/T – Situation or Task

• Provides context for staff’s action(s)
• Describes specific event, job, or assignment that
triggered or warranted a response
A – Action
• Specific response of staff to the situation or task
• What staff said or did
• Can be multiple actions
• Can also be non-action
R – Result
• What happened due to the staff’s action
• Can be effective or ineffective
• Can be concrete (e.g., report, written feedback from
client, extended processing time, etc.)
• Can be less tangible (e.g., low morale,
misunderstanding, etc.)
60
5.2.3 What are the benefits of the STAR

Feedback Model?
The STAR Feedback Model:
• helps you focus staff’s attention on behaviors that got them to
their current level of performance;
• can be used to reinforce staff’s good performance, as well as to
facilitate improvement in staff’s performance; and
• can be used to give feedback verbally or in writing.
See Figure 5.9 for a sample Reinforce STAR Feedback of a Principal

to a Teacher that demonstrates a contributing behavior or performance.
For a sample of Redirect STAR Feedback of a Principal to a Teacher that
demonstrates a non-contributing behavior or performance, see Figure
5.10.
The STAR-AR Feedback Model is used for developmental or

performance improvement, where alternative action and result
is described.
STAR - AR
Alternative Action
What could be done better or differently next time?
Alternative Result
What could be the probable result or impact of the

PRINCIPAL
Tips in providing redirect

or developmental feedback
Focus on facts, not the person.

• Choose positively-phrased statements, such as “Forgetting
to do that caused a delay,” rather than saying “You’re
completely disorganized.“
Share your thoughts on alternative approaches while

remembering to seek the other person’s ideas.
• “What do you think would be the best approach next time?”
• “If you do that, what results could we expect?”
Provide your employee with the necessary support in

terms of time, resources or coaching to act on your
feedback.
• “What resources or support would you need to carry this
out?”
64
5.2.4 What is the Feedback Process?

The following are the processes for providing effective feedback:
Step 1: Preparation
• Self-Assessment. The teacher accomplishes a self-assessment
form and sends a copy to his or her immediate superior.
• Agreeing on the Schedule of the Meeting. The teacher and the
immediate superior agree on the meeting schedule.
• Gathering Data and Preparing Discussion Notes. The teacher
and the immediate superior gather data and note down discussion
points for the meeting. The discussion points can be:
• Performance Objectives
• Critical Indicents/STARs
• Progress or Final Results
• Development Plans
Step 2: Conducting the Meeting

• Opening the Meeting. Greet the teacher and make him or her feel
comfortable. Thank him or her for his or her time. You may engage
in quick, light, small talk.
• Clarifying the Meeting. The immediate supervisor should signal
start of discussion and state the purpose of the meeting.
• Discussion. Go through each of the objectives and discuss with the
teacher the extent of accomplishment versus targets. Be prepared
to discuss specific examples of behaviors and performance
outcomes. Listen actively and openly. Take down notes.
• Giving Feedback. Prepare your notes. Be specific and own the
feedback. Engage the teacher in the discussion.
Step 3: Closing the Meeting

• Ask the teacher to share his/her take-aways.
• What were my major achievements?
• What have I done well or am doing well?
• In what key areas could I have done or should I do better?
• How is my overall performance?
• What are my next steps?
• Affirm your trust in the teacher. Thank him or her for his or
her time.
65
THE RPMS MANUAL
Key Principles for Interactions

• Maintain or enhance self-esteem.
• Listen and respond with empathy.
• Ask for help and encourage involvement.
• Share thoughts, feelings, and rationale (to build trust).
• Provide support without removing responsibility (to build

ownership).
Tips in Receiving Feedback (for Teachers)

• Welcome constructive feedback (withhold judgment).
• Clarify and seek understanding (i.e. paraphrase, probe).
• Evaluate based on critical incidents, observations.
• Decide what to do with the feedback.

FOR TEACHER QUALITY
THE RPMS MANUAL
The RPMS Cycle

To ensure teacher quality, the Results-based Performance Management System (RPMS)
aligns the performance targets and accomplishments with the Philippine Professional Standards
for Teachers (PPST). This alignment covers teacher performance for one school year, starting in
May (last week or a week after the opening of classes) and ending in April (first week or a week
after graduation and/or moving up ceremonies).
The RPMS Manual for Teachers and School Heads provides information and guidance to
Teachers and Schools in the use of different tools and forms to assess performance, the different
assessment processes and different developmental activities for teachers as they undergo the
four-stage performance RPMS cycle, namely, Performance Planning and Commitment (Phase
1); Performance Monitoring and Coaching (Phase 2); Performance Review and Evaluation (Phase
3); and Performance Rewarding and Development Planning (Phase 4).
See Figure 6.2 on page 69 for the graphic representation of the phases of the RPMS Cycle,
and the tools and processes within.
6.1 Self-Assessment Tools in the RPMS Cycle

The Self-Assessment Tool is a common tool for assessing teacher performance.
It can be used as a starting point for informal purposes of self-reflection to
clarify performance expectations and determine which competencies to focus
on. It can also be used to monitor the progression or improvement of teacher
competencies and validate whether the interventions provided are effective. It
can guide discussions about goal-setting and professional development needs.

The teachers should assess their own performance prior to the beginning
of the year (Performance Planning and Commitment) and reflect on their
performance throughout the RPMS Cycle. The results of this self-assessment
will guide the teachers and the principal on which RPMS indicators the teachers
must improve on and the areas where they need coaching and mentoring.
6.1.1 What are the Self-Assessment

Tools-RPMS (SAT-RPMS)?
The Self-Assessment Tools-RPMS (SAT-RPMS) comprises two
different self-assessment questionnaires within the RPMS designed
for Teacher I-III and Master Teacher I-IV to reflect on the different
performance indicators that relate to their professional work. It is
meant to support teacher performance and professional development.
There are two SAT-RPMS: 1) SAT-RPMS for Teacher I-III; and 2) SAT-
RPMS for Master Teacher I-IV.
Teacher I, Teacher II and Teacher III shall use the SAT-RPMS for Teacher
I-III while Master Teacher I, Master Teacher II, Master Teacher III and Master
Teacher IV shall use the SAT-RPMS for Master I-IV.
There are 13 objectives in the SAT-RPMS, including the Plus Factor.
These objectives are aligned with the objectives listed in the RPMS Tools.
Figure 6.4. Self-Assessment Tools-RPMS
71
THE RPMS MANUAL
6.1.2. What are the parts of the SAT-RPMS?

The SAT-RPMS has the following parts:
1. Cover Page. This page introduces the SAT-RPMS, its

purposes and parts. It also provides instructions on how to
accomplish the SAT-RPMS. See Figure 6.4.
2. Demographic Profile. This part collects the teacher’s

demographic information, such as age, sex, rank or position,
highest degree obtained, among others.
Figure 6.5. Part I: Demographic Profile of SAT-RPMS for Teacher I-III
72
3. Objectives. This page contains the 13 objectives of the SAT-RPMS.

Using a four-point Likert scale, the teachers will rate themselves in terms
of how capable they are in performing each objective and the development
priority they give to each objective.
Figure 6.6. Part II: Performance Indicators of SAT-RPMS for Teacher I-III
73
THE RPMS MANUAL
6.1.3. How do you take the SAT-RPMS?

Step 1: Determine your corresponding SAT-RPMS.
Identify your SAT-RPMS by considering your current
position and general description of your practice based on
the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers.
If you are a Teacher I, Teacher II or Teacher III, use the tool for
SAT-RPMS for Teacher I-III. If you are a Master Teacher I, Master
Teacher II, Master Teacher III and Master Teacher IV, use the tool
for Master Teacher I-IV. Senior High School teachers shall use
the SAT-RPMS corresponding to their current rank/position,
regardless of the years in service.
Figure 6.7 A graphical representation of a teacher looking at SAT-RPMS
74
Step 2: Take the SAT-RPMS appropriate to your position.

Accomplish Part I: Demographic Profile by ticking the item that
describes you.
In Part II: Objectives, shade the circle that corresponds to the
rating you give yourself for each indicator according to the level of
your capability and development priority. You may also write your
comments about the indicators in the box provided at the end of
SAT-RPMS page. See Figure 6.8.
Figure 6.8. Screenshot of the box on the bottom of the SAT-RPMS Page
Step 3: Discuss with your Principal the results of your SAT-

RPMS.
After taking the SAT-RPMS, discuss with your Principal the
Development Plan based the results of your self-assessment.
Figure 6.9

the Development Plan based on the teachers’ SAT-RPMS results
75
THE RPMS MANUAL
6.1.4. How do you use the results of

SAT-RPMS?
Step 1: The teacher prepares the Development Plan
based on the results of SAT-RPMS.
The teacher can reflect in the plan as development needs the
objectives that rated “Low” in terms of level of capability, or “High”
or “Very High” in terms of priority for development.
The objectives rated “High” or “Very High” in terms of level of
capability can be reflected as strengths in the Development Plan.
See Figure 6.10 for the sample accomplished Part IV:
Development Plans (IPCRF-DP) based on the SAT-RPMS results.
Follow the steps in Chapter 3, page 41 in preparing for the Part IV:
DP.
Step 2: The teacher discusses the Development Plan

with the Principal.
Step 3: The teacher and the Principal come to an

agreement about the final Development Plan.
The IPCRF-DP shall be updated during Phase 4: Performance Rewarding

and Development Planning and shall be informed by the actual ratings of the
IPCRF in Phase 3: Performance Review and Evaluation.
The results can inform various development interventions in preparation
for the next school year, such as In-Service Training (INSET) Orientation/
Teacher Induction Program (TIP).
Both the teacher and the Principal may also refer to the Development
Plans in the monitoring and coaching of the teacher’s performance and in
providing the necessary interventions
Note: An electronic system will be given as a

supplemental material. The system supports schools in
analyzing school-wide SAT data of teachers to help plan for
teachers’ professional development.

6.2 Classroom Observation Tools in the RPMS Cycle

Classroom observation is a process of providing feedback to a teacher’s classroom
practice. Feedback given provides quality input for the continuous improvement of
teacher practice and provides opportunities to share ideas and expertise, as well as
promote mentoring and coaching among colleagues. It also encourages teachers
to reflect and develop awareness about their own practice as it provides evidence of
actual teacher performance, their strengths and areas for development and the impact
of their practice. Finally, classroom observation aims to visualize classroom practices.
To be more effective, classroom observation must be based on a set of standards,
which can assess teaching quality across a continuum of development (Darling-
Hammond, 2012). The link between what the teachers can do as evidenced by their
classroom performance and the standards against which this performance can be
rated or evaluated is crucial in classroom observation.
Figure 6.11. Classroom Observation Tools and Forms in the RPMS Cycle
78
In the RPMS Cycle, teacher’s classroom performance is assessed against the

indicators of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). The results of
classroom observation are considered non-negotiable means of verification (MOV) of
teacher performance that can prove teacher’s attainment of classroom observable
objectives in the RPMS Tools.

6.2.1 What are the Classroom Observation

Tools-RPMS (COT-RPMS)?
There are two (2) Classroom Observation Tools for RPMS (COT-
RPMS), one for Teachers I-III (Proficient) and one for Master Teachers
I-IV (Highly Proficient). The indicators in the tools are the observable
classroom objectives listed in the RPMS tools. The language of
the indicators is from the Proficient career stage in the Philippine
Professional Standards for Teacher (PPST).
COT-RPMS for Teachers I-III has nine (9) indicators, while the COT-
RPMS for Master Teacher I-IV has five (5) indicators.

6.2.2 What are the COT-RPMS Forms?

The COT-RPMS are composed of five forms:
• Rubric
• Observation Notes Form
• Rating Sheet
• Inter-Observer Agreement Form
Each form is used at a specific stage in the observation process.
85
THE RPMS MANUAL
6.2.2.1 Rubric
The rubric contains a performance continuum for each career
stage. For Teacher I-III (with Levels 3-7), the expected attained level
is at least Level 6, Consolidating. For Master Teacher I-IV (with Levels
4-8), the expected attained level is at least Level 7, Integrating.
The rubric has the following parts:
1. Rubric Level Summary. This refers to both the name and

description of each level, described according to performance of
teachers in the classroom.
Figure 6.20. Rubric Level Summary for Teacher I-III
Figure 6.21. Rubric Level Summary for Master Teacher I-IV
86
2. Indicators. This refers to the specific classroom observable practice

of teachers.
Figure 6.22. The Indicators of COT-RPMS
3. Level Description. This refers to the description of practice for each

level. The description explains the practice expected of teachers in the
classroom.
As teachers progress in their careers, different levels of performance are
expected of them. The development in levels refers to the expectations of
teachers in different career stages: Levels 3-7 for Teacher I-III while Levels
4-8 for Master Teacher I-IV.
Figure 6.23. Level Description
87
THE RPMS MANUAL
4. Clarifications. This refers to definitions or elaborations of some

terms included in the level descriptions.
5. Features of Practice. This refers to specific classroom practices,

which help describe a particular level.
Figure 6.24. Clarifications and Features of Practice
88
6.2.2.2 Observation Notes Form
The observer(s) use(s) this form to take note of his or her specific
observations and comments during the classroom observation. This
is the only form the observer(s) will bring and complete during the
observation.
Figure 6.19. Observation Notes Form
89
THE RPMS MANUAL
6.2.2.3 Rating Sheet
This form lists the indicators in the COT-RPMS tool. The

observer(s) use(s) this form to indicate the rating/level attained by
the observed teacher in each indicator.
This form is completed after the observation. Refer to the
Indicator List to check which indicators are expected to be observed
within the observation period.
Figure 6.25. Rating Sheet of the COT-RPMS
Note:
• If possible, a subject expert is expected to rate Indicator 1 (Applies knowledge of content within and
across curriculum content areas).
• Elementary teachers are “generalists,” any observer may rate Indicator 1.
• It is highly recommended that 2-3 observers sit for an observation. However, if challenges like
schedules and availabilty of observers hinder a school to follow this recommendation, one (1)
observer will be enough.
90
6.2.2.4 Inter-Observer Agreement Form
Observer(s) use(s) this form. It serves as the final rating form used during the
Inter-Observer Agreement Exercise.
To arrive at an agreed rating, each observer discusses and justifies the
rating(s) given to the observed teacher. The agreed rating is not the average of
the ratings given but the rating agreed upon by all the observers.
In case there is only one observer, i.e. the Principal, his or her rating is the
final rating.
Figure 6.26. Inter-Observer Agreement Form
Note:
• This form is used when there are 2-3 observers.
• The observers meet with the teacher to discuss the results of the observation. This aims to help the teacher
improve his or her performance through constructive feedback.
91
THE RPMS MANUAL
6.2.3 What are the roles and responsibilities of

Teachers and Observers?
6.2.3.1 Teachers are Teacher I-III or Master
Teacher I-IV who will be observed
Teachers are expected to:

1. review the Classroom Observation Rubric appropriate to their
career stage.
2. understand the observation process.
3. prepare for and participate in each step of the observation
process.
4. prepare and provide the lesson plan/modified DLL for the
observation
6.2.3.2 Observers are Principals/

School Heads, Department Heads/
Chairpersons and/or Master Teachers
Observers are expected to:
1. review the observation process and ensure that all steps are correctly
followed.
2. review and understand the Classroom Observation Rubric and the
different forms to be used at different stage in the observation:
Observation Notes Form, Rating Sheet, and Inter-Observer
Agreement Form (to be used if there are more than one observers).
3. rate the teacher using the Rating Sheet. Identify the teacher’s
strengths and areas for improvement then make recommendations
for improving performance, as guided by the COT-RPMS rubric.
4. ensure that the Classroom Observation Forms (Observation Notes
Form, Rating Sheet, and Inter-Observer Agreement Form) contain
accurate information about the teacher and the class observed.
5. meet with the teacher after the observation to discuss the results of
the observation.
It is highly encouraged that 2-3 observers participate

in the observation.However, if challenges like schedules
and availability of observers hinder a school to follow this
recommendation, one (1) observer will be enough.

INTRODUCTION
Role of teachers
Teachers play a crucial role in nation building. Through quality teachers, the Philippines can develop holistic learners who are steeped in values,
equipped with 21st century skills, and able to propel the country to development and progress. This is in consonance with the Department of Education vision
of producing: “Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose values and competencies enable them to realize their full potential and contribute
THE RPMS MANUAL
meaningfully to building the nation” (DepED Order No. 36, s. 2013).
Evidences show unequivocally that good teachers are vital to raising student achievement, i.e., quality learning is contingent upon quality teaching.
Hence, enhancing teacher quality becomes of utmost importance for long-term and sustainable nation building.
The changes brought about by various national and global frameworks, such as the K to 12 Reform and the ASEAN integration, globalization, and the
changing character of the 21st century learners, necessitate the improvement and adaptability of education, and a call for rethinking of the current teacher
standards.
Professional standards for teachers
The Philippine Government has consistently pursued teacher quality reforms through a number of initiatives. As a framework of teacher quality, the
National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) was institutionalized through CHED Memorandum Order No. 52, s. 2007 and DepED Order No. 32, s.
2009. It emerged as part of the implementation of the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA), and was facilitated by drawing on the learning
considerations of programs, such as the Basic Education Assistance for Mindanao (BEAM), the Strengthening Implementation of Visayas Education (STRIVE)
project and the Third Elementary Education Project (TEEP).
The K to 12 Reform (R.A. 10533) in 2013 has changed the landscape of teacher quality requirements in the Philippines. The reform process warrants
an equivalent supportive focus on teacher quality – high quality teachers who are properly equipped and prepared to assume the roles and functions of a K
to 12 teacher.
Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers ii

The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers, which is built on NCBTS, complements the reform initiatives on teacher quality from pre-service
education to in-service training. It articulates what constitutes teacher quality in the K to 12 Reform through well-defined Domains, Strands, and Indicators
that provide measures of professional learning, competent practice, and effective engagement. This set of standards makes explicit what teachers should
know, be able to do and value to achieve competence, improved student learning outcomes, and eventually quality education. It is founded on teaching
philosophies of learner-centeredness, lifelong learning, and inclusivity/inclusiveness, among others. The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers,
therefore, becomes a public statement of professional accountability that can help teachers reflect on and assess their own practices as they aspire for
personal growth and professional development.
Teacher quality in the Philippines
The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers defines teacher quality in the Philippines. The standards describe the expectations of teachers’
increasing levels of knowledge, practice and professional engagement. At the same time, the standards allow for teachers’ growing understanding, applied
with increasing sophistication across a broader and more complex range of teaching/learning situations.
The following describes the breadth of 7 Domains that are required by teachers to be effective in the 21st century in the Philippines. Quality teachers
in the Philippines:
 recognize the importance of mastery of content knowledge and its interconnectedness within and across curriculum areas, coupled with a sound and
critical understanding of the application of theories and principles of teaching and learning. They apply developmentally appropriate and meaningful
pedagogy grounded on content knowledge and current research. They display proficiency in Mother Tongue, Filipino and English to facilitate the
teaching and learning process, as well as exhibit the needed skills in the use of communication strategies, teaching strategies and technologies to
promote high-quality learning outcomes.
 provide learning environments that are safe, secure, fair and supportive in order to promote learner responsibility and achievement. They create an
environment that is learning-focused and they efficiently manage learner behavior in physical and virtual spaces. They utilize a range of resources
and provide intellectually challenging and stimulating activities to encourage constructive classroom interactions geared towards the attainment of
high standards of learning.
 establish learning environments that are responsive to learner diversity. They respect learners’ diverse characteristics and experiences as inputs to
the planning and design of learning opportunities. They encourage the celebration of diversity in the classroom and the need for teaching practices
that are differentiated to encourage all learners to be successful citizens in a changing local and global environment.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Assessment Data Learner data obtained from diagnostic, formative and/or summative assessment practices
Classroom Structure The physical set-up of the learning environment, which generally includes the arrangement of chairs,
tables, and other equipment in the classroom designed to maximize learning
Content Knowledge Competencies that teachers are expected to master for them to teach efficiently and effectively
Culturally-appropriate teaching strategies Teaching strategies that respect cultural differences between and among students and teachers
Curriculum Areas Different learning/subject areas taught and learned in the basic education curriculum
Creative thinking skills Thinking skills that involve exploring ideas, generating possibilities and looking for many right answers
rather than just one.
Critical thinking skills High-level thinking skills such as analysis, evaluation, interpretion, or synthesis of information and
application of creative thought to form an argument, solve a problem, or reach a conclusion.
Developmentally Appropriate Learning Teaching and learning activities and tasks suited to the needs, abilities, skills, and developmental levels of
Experiences learners
Diagnostic assessment Assessment that gauges what the learner knows prior to instruction. It can also identify the nature of
difficulties and misconceptions that the learner might have, which, if undiagnosed, might affect their
learning of newer concepts. Based on DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015, there are only two types of classroom
assessment, namely, formative and summative. Formative assessment already covers diagnostic
assessment.
Differentiated Teaching Teaching-learning processes involving a wide variety of texts, tasks, processes and products suited to the
various learning needs of diverse students
Domain Broad conceptual sphere of teaching and learning practices defined by specific strands in the set of
professional standards for teachers
Formative assessment Assesment used to conduct in-process evaluations of student comprehension, learning needs, and
academic progress during a lesson, unit, or course. Formative assessment helps teachers identify concepts
that students are struggling to understand, skills they are having difficulty acquiring, or learning standards
they have not yet achieved so that adjustments can be made to lessons, instructional techniques, and
academic support. (Please also refer to DepED Order No. 8, s. 2015, p. 2 on its 3-paragraph definition.)
Higher Order Thinking Skills Complex thinking processes which include analysis, evaluation, synthesis, reflection and creativity.
