Study Notes

National Adoption and Implementation of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST)

DepEd Order No. 42, issued August 11, 2017, outlines the national adoption and implementation of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST).
This order aims to establish clear expectations of teachers throughout their career stages, encouraging continuous professional development to achieve proficiency.
The PPST is based on the principle of lifelong learning, acknowledging that quality teachers are essential for student achievement and national development.
The standards were developed due to changes brought about by the K to 12 Reform, ASEAN Integration, globalization, and the changing character of the 21st century learner.
The document emphasizes teacher quality from pre-service to in-service, articulating what constitutes competent practice and effective engagement.
The standards define what a quality teacher should know, be able to do, and value to achieve high-quality education.
PPST sets 7 domains with clear expectations for teachers at different career stages (Beginning, Proficient, Highly Proficient, Distinguished).
Key functions of regional and division offices, including monitoring and evaluation, orientation, and reporting are described
