4 The Teacher Induction Program - Core Course
Session 1 – The PPST Career Stages
The PPST acknowledges that teachers in the field have

different levels of competency. Teachers who have been
teaching for a long time are expected to have developed more
proficiency in their teaching practices. Teacher
professional development takes place in a continuum, and
teachers are expected to improve developmentally. Thus, a
‘one size fits all’ standards will not appropriately
describe the expectations of teachers across the continuum.
Thus, the PPST defines the work of teachers at different
career stages.
Career stages generally refer to levels of development that an

individual passes through, particularly in a profession. In the
PPST, the teacher development continuum is defined in
four career stages namely: Beginning, Proficient, Highly
Proficient, and Distinguished Stages. A Proficient
Teacher must exhibit at least Proficient Level of practice
for all 37 Indicators. The same applies for Highly
Proficient and Distinguished teachers.
Given the notion of a development continuum, upon which the

PPST is based, a teacher may exhibit practice that aligns with
indicators across various career stages, but it is likely his/her
practice would mostly align with Indicators for a particular
career stage. This is accommodated by the ‘at least’ qualifier
in the previous paragraph. Table 1 shows the descriptors
of teacher’s continuum development from the Beginning
career stage to the Distinguished stage.

Key Topic 3: Indicators
The PPST domains and strands describe the dimensions of
teaching and learning practices across content areas and grade
levels. In order to further support teachers’ professional
practice, the PPST elaborates the strands into concrete,
observable and measurable teacher behaviors/ practices called
indicators. Figure 2 shows the four Indicators – one for each
career stage – within Strand 1.1.
Figure 3: Indicators articulating developmental practice within Strand 1.1

Each strand is progressively elaborated across the four career stages to
articulate continuum of practice. This is evident if you read through the
indicators from left to right, starting from beginning towards proficient. Based on the current default classification, in

(SHRM). Using the PPST as the basis of teachers’
performance within the HR systems is the essence of
SHRM.
Figure 1 depicts the four (4) HR systems in DepEd that
are PSST-aligned. These are Recruitment, Selection and
Placement (RSP), Results-Based Performance
Management System (RPMS), Learning and
Development (L&D) and Rewards and Recognition
(R&R). The RSP is the initiating mechanism that enables
DepEd to attract talents to enter into the DepEd
workforce. In the very near future, DepEd intends to
manage its talent by strategically connecting the other
three
(3) HR systems, RPMS, L&D and R&R -- through the
standards. This means that one HR system reinforces the
other, an output in one HR system is an input to another.
Teachers should be able to see this strategic link in order
for them to optimize its utility for their benefit and
that of their learners, and ultimately for DepEd to
achieve its mandate, i.e., to provide every Filipino
learner, quality education as stated in Paragraph 4,
Section 1 of the Republic Act 9155.
RSP
Teachers get into the DepEd system through the RSP
system. The RSP is a series of sequential HR processes
from recruitment, selection to placement. Teacher
induction, or on-boarding, is another HR system that is
intended to help teachers transition the public-school
system. Beginning with the end in mind can help
teachers see the big picture. From DepEd’s perspective,
Teacher I will not remain Teacher I. Each teacher must
progress towards the continuum of the PPST, i.e., from
Beginning to Distinguished teacher.
RPMS
Teachers’ professional development and recognition of
their accomplishments are embedded in the four (4)
cycles of RPMS. Therefore, one HR system is not to be
treated as stand-alone because one system’s output is
input to another. As a whole, these systematic
connections amongst the HR systems and the PPST is

Key Topic 3: RSP and MSP

Recruitment, Selection and Placement (RSP) is the
initiating step within the HR system. Recruitment is
about attracting the quality of teachers that the
Department needs to teach in public schools across the
country. This is done by posting vacancies in places
where they can be broadly announced in compliance
with the requirements of publication law embodied in
RA 7041. DepEd needs to attract good quality teacher-
applicants to respond to the needs of its K to 12 learners
and ensure that quality education will continue to be
provided in all public schools. Quality teachers are
needed to produce quality K to 12 learners.
Research findings support the growing need to hire
quality teachers as they serve as input to learners’
performance (Goldhaber, 2015, 64; Kelly, 2012;
Kennedy, 2010).
When teachers enter DepEd, the onboarding process
scaffolds their smooth transition to their new
environment. This entails a more detailed understanding
about the organization. The PPST defines teacher
quality and guides teachers’ performance, professional
development needs and possible career progression. The
PPST supports teachers to achieve their career goals, and
DepEd’s policy guidelines on hiring and promotion set

The meritocracy and fitness principles on

hiring and promotion means that teacher
applicants’ qualifications are assessed
based on merit and not based on who they
know or who can help them. so, for a
teacher to be qualified in the promotion,
the beginning teachers should use the
PPST to monitor their own performance
and align their professional practices with
the expectations based on the PPST.
Summary
The PPST is linked with DepEd’s Recruitment, Selection and

Placement (RSP) system and the Merit Selection Plan (MSP).
This ensures that DepEd hires teachers who are
qualified to teach in public schools, are subject matter experts
and possess the core behavioral competencies that are needed
to deliver DepEd outcomes. Both the RSP and the MSP
operate on the principle of merit and fitness. This means
that teacher applicants’ qualifications are assessed
based on merit and not based on who they know or who can
help them.

Key Learnings: The PPST is a measure of teacher quality and the RPMS is a standard performance management mechanism
that puts forth a standard performance process for the benefit of teachers and learners.
Summary
In order for teachers to optimize the benefits from RPMS-PPST, they need to internalize the standards and
performance management processes. This entails collaboration with peers and mentors. Since the RPMS cycle is embedded in
teachers’ daily job, continuous feedback is needed to support them until the RPMS processes become teachers’ professional practice.

Teach- ers’ Learning and Development
Key Topic 1:
Strategic Alignment of the RPMS and L&D with
the PPST
The strategic alignment of the RPMS and L&D with the PPST
is very evident in the RPMS-PPST processes. All throughout
the performance cycle, teachers continually monitor their

performance and are able to identify their learning needs. These L&D needs
are documented during Phase IV of the RPMS cycle where teachers plan

Summary
L&D is strategically connected with the RPMS and PPST.
Each cycle of the RPMS is supported by relevant L&D ac-
tivities for teachers. All professional development (PD) for
teachers should be relevant, needs-based and anchored on the
PPST. This strategic alignment of L&D system with RPMS,
PPST and R&R is designed to bring about DepEd’s intended
outcomes.

Session 5–Rewards and

Recognition (R&R) in the Context of
RPMS-PPST
Key Topic 1:
Rewards and Recognition
From the human resource perspective, performance is

driven by motivation. In other words, teachers behave
the way they do because there is an inner drive that
pushes them. Motivation is said to be those, “factors
that activate, direct and sustain goal-directed
behavior” (Iricinschi, 2020, 271). Beginning teachers
need to see both the big and small picture in order to
comprehend their stake in the PPST and the HR systems
of DepEd in order to be fully motivated. Nobody can
truly be motivated by mere compliance or pleasing
one’s immediate superior. Superficial motivation is
fleeting, it is surface level and the person would
tend to show expected behavior when someone is
looking. This is not the kind of motivation that can bring
any beginning teacher to real success in his/her
profession.
When beginning teachers enter the DepEd workforce,
they possess varying abilities, competencies and
experiences that can help them carry out their teaching
duties competently. Ability enables one to perform or
carry out a function or task. Motivation is another
element that is needed in order to enable beginning
teachers to translate their abilities into something useful.
But, they need more opportunities to explore and
practice. So, one’s performance is determined by one’s
ability, internal or external motivation, and opportunities
available. This is why beginning teachers are given
mentors. Mentors create opportunities for beginning
teachers to improve their teaching practice. When this
happens, beginning teachers become more fulfilled
Recognition is embedded in the RPMS-PPST. This is part of Phase
IV, i.e. Performance Recognition and Awarding. There are many
forms of rewards. L&D is one form of reward that is very evident in

Guidelines on the Establishment and
Implementation of the RPMS
DepEd Order No. 2, s. 2015, otherwise known as Guide-

lines on the Establishment and Implementation of the
Results-based Performance Management System
(RPMS) in the Department of Education, adopts the Civil
Service Commission’s Strategic Performance Management
System (SPMS) and stipulates the specific mechanisms,
criteria and processes for the performance target setting,
monitoring, evaluation, and development planning
(Enclosure p. 3, DepEd Order No. 2, s. 2015).
This DepEd Order provides for the establishment and im-

plementation of the RPMS in all DepEd schools and
offices, covering all officials and employees, school
based and non- school-based, in the Department holding
regular plantilla positions. For school-based personnel, the
RPMS shall be used only as an appraisal tool, which shall be
the basis for training and development (DepEd Order No. 2, s.
2015).
Similar to the 4-stage SPMS Cycle, the RPMS follows a

4-phase cycle that covers performance for one whole year
(DepEd Order No. 2, s. 2015):

The Office Performance Commitment Review Form (OPCRF) shall be accomplished by the head
of school, e.g. School Head, Head Teachers, including designated Teacher-in-Charge, to reflect
the office KRAs, objectives and performance indicators. Other personnel with administrative functions,
but are not head of office, must craft their own IPCRF.

Figure 9: The Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF)
The Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF) is a mechanism

used by government employees to evaluate the tasks completed by teachers over the
course of a year. The teacher’s major output is their performance on providing quality
basic education service.

Employee development is a continuous learning process that allows an employee to achieve his or her personal
goals within the framework of the organization’s goals. Employee creation is a joint responsibility of the
person, manager, human resources, and the organization.

Summary
• Civil Service Commission (CSC) Memorandum

Circular No. 6, s. 2012 provided for the establishment
of an institutionalized performance management
system in the public service.
• Department of Education (DepEd) Order No. 2, s.
2015 adopted the CSC’s Strategic Performance
Management System (SPMS) as the Results-based
Performance Management System (RPMS) of the
Department.
• The RPMS is done as a cycle of 4 phases. There are
corresponding forms and activities in each phase of
the RPMS Cycle.

Key Topic 2: Alignment of RPMS with PPST in
the PPST-based IPCRF
The PPST-based IPCRF, as described during the previous

session, is one of the most familiar forms in RPMS. Due to
the clamor of the field to integrate PPST to the other
existing HR systems during the National Validation Study
of the PPST. The RPMS adopted the Domains and
Indicators of the PPST as its Key Result Areas (KRAs)
and Objectives, respectively.
Key elements of the PPST-based IPCRF is shown in Figure 14.

Figure 15: Results-Based Performance Management (RPMS) Framework

(Source: BHROD Slidedeck for PPST-RPMS Preliminary Orientation SY 2019-
2020)

The RPMS Cycle, as discussed in Session 1 of this Module, is composed of four (4) phases, namely:
• Phase I: Performance Planning and Commitment
• Phase II: Performance Monitoring and Coaching
• Phase III: Performance Review and Evaluation
• Phase IV: Performance Rewarding and Development Planning
Table 1. The RPMS Cycle Phases

75
These phases happen in one school year for school-based personnel, including teachers like you. The cycle is designed to gauge
teacher performance against the PPST and help them in their professional development. Take note that all content of the RPMS
Cycle in Figure 1 adheres to the PPST-aligned RPMS.
Each phase of the cycle happens in a specific timeline within the rating period and requires the accomplishment of specific
activities using PPST-based tools, as shown in the matrix below:

Session 4 – The PPST-based RPMS Tools and Processes

Key Topic 1: The RPMS Tools
The RPMS tools are the major PPST-based tools that teachers need to be familiar with. There are two (2) RPMS Tools intended
for 2 career stages:
1. RPMS Tool for Teachers I-III (Proficient Teachers)
2. RPMS Tool for Master Teachers I-IV (Highly Proficient Teachers)

See Figure 17.
Parts of the RPMS Tools
As outlined in the second session of this Module, the RPMS is aligned with PPST as seen in the RPMS Tools. Figure 17A shows the
alignment of the RPMS with the PPST through the KRAs and Objectives, and Figure 17B highlights the Means of
Verification (MOV) and the Performance Indicators.
Key Topic 2: The RPMS Associated Tools
There are other tools that are used in the PPST-aligned RPMS
(Figure 18). These tools generate data pertaining to teachers’
performance. The data are then utilized purposefully and
constructively to support the Learning and Development and
Professional Development of teachers.

The COT Rubric addresses the continuum of practice stip-
ulated in the PPST. There are nine (9) rubric levels for each
classroom-observable indicator. Levels 1-5 capture the
Beginning career stage, Levels 3-7 capture the Proficient
career stage, Levels 4-8 capture the Highly Proficient
career stage, and Levels 5-9 capture the Distinguished career
stage (Figure 20).

The Classroom Observation Process
The Self-Assessment Tool

The Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) is an RPMS associated
tool that helps teachers reflect on the different performance
indicators related to their professional work. The

results of the self-assessment will guide teachers on which
indicators they must improve and the areas where they need
coaching and mentoring.
There are two (2) SAT-RPMS (see Figure 21):
1. SAT-RPMS for Teacher I-III (Proficient Teachers)
2. SAT-RPMS for Master Teacher I-IV (Highly Proficient

Teachers)
Figure 21: The two SAT-RPMS

85
There is an electronic version of the SAT for RPMS called e-
SAT or electronic Self-Assessment Tool (see Figure 7). This
system supports schools in analyzing school-wide SAT data of
teachers to help plan for teachers’ professional development.
DepEd needs the summary results of teachers’ e-SAT data
to gain an overall picture of the teachers’ strengths and needs. This summary helps in the

preparation of the school and division development plans (see
Figure 8) and other various development interventions in
preparation for the current school year.

Key Topic 24: PPST-based RPMS Support Materials
Refer to your COT rating sheets, SAT assessment results, and IPCRF-Development Plan, if you have any. Reflect
on your teaching performance based on the results that these forms reflect. Briefly discuss what you have
discovered.
Summary
• The RPMS tools are the major PPST-based tools
Figure 25: Support materials
There are a lot of support materials developed by RCTQ and BHROD to supplement all tools and associated
tools for the PPST-aligned RPMS. Some of these support materials can be seen in Figure

My reflection when I see my

teaching performance based on the
results is that I am now much
comfortable running a class and
encouraging student involvement. It is
a pleasure to teach when the students
are engaged and interested and when
they speak up, ask questions and even
make arguments.

Session 5 – Developing
Lesson Plans as Quality Evidence for
RPMS
Preliminary Activity
Choose a lesson plan which you have previously crafted.

Enumerate all parts and describe what you have entered on
each part.
The example lesson plan given below is Lesson

Plan in TLE 8 for the 3rd Quarter. Following the
IDEA Template, I conduct a short review on the
previous topic that has been discussed and
integrate it to another subject in the Introduction
part. Then on the development, I let the pupils
watch a song video that is related to the new
topic that will be discussed and provide HOTS
questions. I let them watch also a short story
video, on the engagement part I provide group
activity to the pupils to apply what they had
learned in the lessons and on the Assessment, I
conduct a 10 items short quiz to identify if they
had met the learning competency of the lesson.
93
Key
Topic: When does a lesson plan
become a quality evidence for RPMS?
As seen in the RPMS Tools, one of the Means of
Verification (MOVs) to support the COT Rating Sheet
or Inter-Observer Agreement Form for Classroom-
teachers using the Proficient Tool. For teachers using the
Observable RPMS Objec- tives is a Lesson Plan (Figure
Highly Proficient Tool, a Lesson Plan may be provided for
1). For example, in School Years 2018-2019 and 2019-
2020, a Lesson Plan may be provided for RPMS RPMS Objectives 1, 3, 4, and 7. For the next School Years, there
Objectives 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10 for will be different sets of objectives and teachers will just have to

Optional Task: Activity
From the lesson plan/exemplar you provided in the Intro-

The Review section of the lesson exemplar that I provided in the

Introductory Activity is where I conduct a brief review of the previous
lesson, which is about "Tools equipment in household services," and I
examine concepts from other curriculum learning areas that could be
potentially integrated to the current lesson. I determined the level of
integration to the topic matter by determining the learners' knowledge and
skills. As a result, I referred the previous discussion on "Hazard and Risk"
in the present lesson. After that, I chose multidisciplinary content to
incorporate into the present lesson. I used a concept from TLE in this case.
I used carefully selected content.
