PPST
In light of the Department of Education’s vision to
continuously improve itself to better serve its
stakeholders, the Department is committed to developing
teacher competencies that are abreast with the changing
demands and needs of K to 12 curriculum, globalization
and ASEAN integration. Hence, the Department released
DepEd Order no. 42 s. 2017 on National Adoption and
Implementation of the Philippine Professional Standards
for Teachers (PPST).
The PPST:
• sets clear expectations of teachers along well-defined

career stages of professional development from
beginning to distinguished practice;
• engages teachers to embrace ongoing professional

learning for their professional development to
enhance their own teaching;
• provides a framework of uniform measures to assess

teacher performance; and
• provides a basis for building public confidence in and

support for the work of teachers.
DepEd Order no. 42, s. 2017 mandates that the PPST

“shall be used as a basis for all learning and
development programs for teachers to ensure that
teachers are properly equipped to effectively implement
the K to 12 Program. It can also be used for the
selection and promotion of teachers. All performance
appraisal for teachers shall be based on this framework”
(Section 5).

This framework shows that the PPST is not only intended to set expectations of teachers. It is also integrated into the
system, tools and processes of DepEd in order to ensure that it is seamlessly embedded in the teachers’ life. It is not an
additional requirement, but a guide towards personal and professional reflection and advancement.

Summary
• The Department of Education (DepEd) formulates, implements, and coordinates policies,

plans, programs, and projects in the areas of formal and non-formal basic education. It
supervises all elementary and secondary education institutions, including alternative
learning systems, both public and private; and provides for the establishment and
maintenance of a complete, adequate, and integrated system of basic education relevant to
the goals of national development.
• Based on DepEd Order No. 36, s. 2013, in order to promote “One DepEd”, the official
DepEd VMV shall be the only Vision, Mission, and Core Values adopted by all offices and
schools. As part of the Department of Education, teachers are enculturated into the DepEd
professional community in order to align professional practice to the common vision and
mission of the department.
• Republic Act No. 8491 states that our national Motto shall be “Maka-Diyos, Maka-tao,
Makakalikasan, at Makabansa.”
• As an agency, DepEd has a set of plans and actions to reach its vision. These strategic directions
are time-bound and are measured through strategic objectives.
• It is important for newly hired teachers to be familiar with and understand the DepEd’s
mandate, vision, mission, core values, and strategic directions so that they could align their
practices and professional goals with the department. This will help them better support
DepEd’s endeavors towards quality education. These could be demonstrated in how
teachers present themselves, how they respond to challenges in everyday teaching, and
how they serve as role models to their learners, inspiring them to be life-long learners and
productive citizens.
• Four career stages are articulated in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers
(PPST). Each stage is constituted by particular professional practice that defines and
locates teacher quality within a developmental continuum.

performances, assessments, achievements, and learner’s
development. The role of the teacher has no limit when it comes
to ensuring the welfare of his/her learners.
2. These roles of the teacher are manifested in the classroom by

implementing it by the adviser in her actions. Performing his/her
duties wholeheartedly to all his/her learners.
3. My experience as a classroom teacher is challenging yet

rewarding. I have learned that I need to study effectively about
classroom management. I realized that each learner has different
learning styles and must be incorporated in the planning of
lessons. This notion prompts the importance of diversity of
learners and variety of activities to employ to cater their learning
needs. My experience motivates me to strive my best to be an
excellent teacher and continue my professional growth.

Key Topic 2: Connecting with can.
Learners
As a class adviser, you need to connect with your
learners. Apart from delivering your subject matter, it is
also important to make connections with your learners
and let them realize that what they learn in your class can
be used in real life. This will help you understand your
learners more and recognize where they are coming
from. It would be a good idea to note the information
gained from casual conversations with the learners
through the Anecdotal Records for future need. The
following are things to remember when connecting with
learners:
• Listen carefully without interrupting.
• Listen not only for what the student is saying but

also try to understand the meaning of the non-
verbal gestures.
• Stay neutral and do not judge the student, or trust

may be breached.
• Communicate with your body, face, eyes, your

whole being, that you are intensely interested in
what learners are saying.
• Show compassion and empathy in your manner

and style.
• Whenever possible, do not let yourself be

interrupted
or distracted when a student is confiding in you.
• Prove that you have understood what was said by

occasionally responding with reflections of feeling
and content that you heard.
• Avoid giving advice or telling learners what to do

with their lives.
• Make yourself as visible and accessible as you

• If you must ask questions, do not interrogate kids; instead, ask
open-ended inquiries that encourage them to elaborate. • Make appropriate referrals to the counselor or other
professionals when a student could profit from such

to reach out to these kinds of learners. However,
remember you may not be able to help almost everyone
in your class.
It is said that all teachers are guidance counselors. You

are placed there to help learners in resolving their
personal issues that affect their academic life. Since
you are the teacher who has the closest contact to your
learners, you are in a position to know very well the
concerns that linger
among your learners. All in all, you have to be able to
show that you “care” about them.
Summary
• The class adviser is tasked to do important
assignments such as connecting with learners and
counseling, keeping school records and monitoring
attendance, doing homeroom activities, promoting
harmonious relationships and resolving conflicts,
capturing and maintaining learners’ interest, and
communicating with parents. You should be the
adviser who “cares”.
• Advisers are the assigned person to keep and

manage the school records of the learners that are
assigned to you. It is also a task of the adviser to
monitor the daily attendance of learners.

Summary
Discipline shapes learners’ behavior and helps them to
learn self-control when it provides encouragement, not
painful, meaningless consequences (UNESCO 2015, 21).
You should use classroom discipline positively by
believing in your learners’ abilities and communicating
affection and respect for them. When you are willing to
observe your learners and respond in ways that
encourage positive behavior, you help them become
responsible for their own behaviors and they reduce the
likelihood of misbehaving in the classroom.
An effectively managed classroom is the one that

motivates learners while creating and supporting positive
behaviors. In order to do this, you need to make sure
that:
a. Your expectations are clear.
b. Instruction is interesting for your learners.
c. Your learners see a purpose and value to what

is being taught.
d. Instruction relates concepts and skills to a

learner’s experience and is meaningful within his
or her daily life.
e. Your teaching strategies are varied. Learners

can become bored, even if the topic is
interesting, if you constantly use the same
teaching methods.

5. We cannot get angry or lose self-control, but be role AGREE

models for good behavior, and follow the rules.
6. When discipline is necessary, it focuses on the learner’s

behavior, not the learner. The learner’s dignity is AGREE
maintained.
7. We need to encourage learners to monitor their own

behavior, such as by keeping diaries. They also need AGREE
to monitor each other’s behavior with respect.
8. In teaching, we should not use ambiguous or vague

terms. Activities should be sequenced clearly and with AGREE
as few interruptions as possible.

Summary
• Building a good relationship with your learners will
help you ensure positive student behavior and
discipline. Thus, an effective educator who foster
positive relationships with their learners creates
classroom environments more conducive to
learning and meet learners’ developmental,
emotional and academic needs.
• In order to maintain trust and fairness in the

classroom, teachers should always bear in mind the
characteristics that learners appreciate. These
characteristics should form a core part of monitoring
our own behaviors: fairness, humor, respect,
courtesy, openness, and active listening. Modeling
these characteristics to learners. also positively
reinforces good learner-to- learner relationships.
