The Department of Education (DepEd) has released the Interim Guidelines for the DepEd Performance Management and Evaluation System (PMES), which sets the standards for evaluating teacher performance for the School Year (SY) 2024-2025.
A significant part of this evaluation process involves the submission of Means of Verification (MOVs) for Non-Classroom Observable Indicators (NCOIs). These indicators assess a teacher's performance beyond classroom instruction and highlight contributions in professional growth, community engagement, and promoting the dignity of teaching.
These MOVs, along with Classroom Observable Indicators (COIs), are submitted to the school principal and serve as the basis for grading or rating a teacher’s IPCRF (Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form).
📚 Understanding the Role of NCOIs and MOVs in the IPCRF
✅ Non-Classroom Observable Indicators (NCOIs) evaluate a teacher’s contributions that go beyond direct teaching. These indicators focus on:
- Professional growth and development
- Community involvement and partnerships
- Implementation of learning programs
- Promoting the dignity of the teaching profession
✅ Means of Verification (MOVs) are the documents that provide tangible evidence of these contributions and are used to assess a teacher’s performance in alignment with the objectives of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST).
📊 Why Are MOVs Important?
The MOVs for NCOIs, alongside the COIs, play a crucial role in determining a teacher’s overall performance rating in the IPCRF. These documents offer concrete proof that a teacher’s work has met the required standards set by DepEd.

💡 Pro Tips for Submitting MOVs to Your Principal for IPCRF Evaluation
- Organize by Objective: Use separate folders for each objective with clear labels to make submission easier.
- Provide Clear Annotations: Highlight and annotate key sections that emphasize relevance and impact.
- Double-Check for Completeness: Ensure all required MOVs are included to avoid missing essential documents.
📊 How MOVs and COIs Influence IPCRF Ratings
✅ Classroom Observable Indicators (COIs): These indicators focus on teaching practices and observable behaviors during classroom observations.
✅ Non-Classroom Observable Indicators (NCOIs): These indicators capture the teacher’s contributions beyond the classroom.
The combination of COIs and NCOIs, supported by appropriate MOVs, forms the basis for grading and rating a teacher’s performance in the IPCRF.
🚀 Final Thoughts
The DepEd PMES Guidelines for SY 2024-2025 highlight the importance of collecting and submitting Means of Verification (MOVs) for both Classroom Observable Indicators (COIs) and Non-Classroom Observable Indicators (NCOIs). By carefully preparing and submitting these documents to the school principal, teachers ensure that their work is accurately reflected in their IPCRF ratings.
With well-prepared MOVs, you’re not just meeting requirements — you’re showcasing excellence and commitment to the teaching profession! 🌟
