Summary
The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) establish national benchmarks for teaching professionalism in the Philippines aimed at standardizing teacher quality and improving educational outcomes. The framework defines seven competency domains: Content Knowledge and Pedagogy, Learning Environment, Diversity of Learners, Curriculum and Planning, Assessment and Reporting, Community Linkages and Professional Engagement, and Personal Growth and Professional Development. These domains form the basis for teacher evaluation, career progression, and professional growth. PPST outlines four career stages-Beginning, Proficient, Highly Proficient, and Distinguished-reflecting increasing levels of competencies and responsibilities. The standards promote reflective practice, collaboration with stakeholders, and alignment with national education objectives, integrated into the Department of Education's teacher evaluation and promotion systems. Through PPST, teachers identify development needs and engage in targeted training, improving accountability and educational effectiveness across Philippine schools.
Common Misconceptions:
