Department of Education - Teacher Education Council. Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers i  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 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 improvement and adaptability of education, and a call for the 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 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. 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 need to possess the following characteristics:  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 a physical and virtual space. 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. Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers iii   interact with the national and local curriculum requirements. They translate curriculum content into learning activities that are relevant to learners and based on the principles of effective teaching and learning. They apply their professional knowledge to plan and design, individually or in collaboration with colleagues, well-structured and sequenced lessons that are contextually relevant, responsive to learners’ needs and incorporate a range of teaching and learning resources. They communicate learning goals to support learner participation, understanding and achievement.  apply a variety of assessment tools and strategies in monitoring, evaluating, documenting and reporting learners’ needs, progress and achievement. They use assessment data in a variety of ways to inform and enhance the teaching and learning process and programs. They provide learners with the necessary feedback about learning outcomes that informs the reporting cycle and enables teachers to select, organize and use sound assessment processes.  establish school-community partnerships aimed at enriching the learning environment, as well as the community’s engagement in the educative process. They identify and respond to opportunities that link teaching and learning in the classroom to the experiences, interests and aspirations of the wider school community and other key stakeholders. They understand and fulfill their obligations in upholding professional ethics, accountability and transparency to promote professional and harmonious relationships with learners, parents, schools and the wider community.  value personal growth and professional development and exhibit high personal regard for the profession by maintaining qualities that uphold the dignity of teaching such as caring attitude, respect and integrity. They value personal and professional reflection and learning to improve their practice. They assume responsibility for personal growth and professional development for lifelong learning.

Critical thinking skills Refer to the many kinds of intellectual skills that (in its most basic expression) occurs when students are analyzing, evaluating, interpreting, or synthesizing information and applying 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 level of Experience learners Diagnostic assessment Assesses what the learner already knows prior to instruction. It also analyzes 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 Refers to a wide variety of methods that teachers use to conduct in-process evaluations of student comprehension, learning needs, and academic progress during a lesson, unit, or course. Formative assessments help 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.)

Learner needs Refer to an observable gap between the learner's present knowledge or competence and the curriculum standards identified as necessary for the grade level. Learner strengths Refer to the learner's present knowledge or competence that helps him/her in meeting the standards identified. Learning experiences Refer to any interaction, course, program, or other involvement in which learning takes place, whether it occurs in traditional academic settings (schools, classrooms) or nontraditional settings (outside-of-school locations, outdoor environments), or whether it includes traditional educational interactions (students learning from teachers and professors) or nontraditional interactions (students learning through games and interactive software applications). Learning Focused Instructional and assessment strategies that target meaningful learning Learning goals Reflect long-term objectives to learn new skills, master new tasks, or understand new things.
