Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers

[e-mail]

Open Ended

Why was PPST instituted?

​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.

​

​

DO #42, s.2017 - National Adoption and Implementation

of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers

    

• NCBTS

• complements the reform initiatives on teacher quality from pre-service education to in-service training.

• 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.

​

​PHILIPPINE PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS FOR TEACHERS

• ​

• 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 professional standards, therefore, become 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.
