Ensuring that teachers meet the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) requires proper documentation of their competencies. The Matrix of Documentation for Proficient Teachers provides a guide on what Means of Verification (MOVs) educators must submit to demonstrate their achievements effectively.
MOVs for Classroom Observation-Inclusive (COI) Objectives
For objectives that require direct classroom observation, teachers must submit:
Classroom Observation Tool (COT) Rating Sheet
Inter-Observer Agreement Forms (for peer validation)
Face-to-face or in-person classroom observation records
These documents are essential in assessing a teacher’s instructional strategies and effectiveness in delivering lessons.
MOVs for Non-Classroom Observation-Inclusive (NCOI) Objectives
For objectives that do not require direct classroom observation, teachers need to submit specific MOVs depending on the focus area:
Lesson Planning and Instructional Materials
Lesson Plans (DLP, DLL, WHLP, WLL, Lesson Exemplars, etc.)
Activity Sheets
These demonstrate the teacher’s ability to prepare structured and effective lessons.
Implementation of Learning Programs
Progress Reports, Accomplishment Reports
Action Plans and Program Implementation Reports
Adaptation and Localization Plans
These MOVs highlight how teachers implement educational programs to enhance student learning.
Community and Stakeholder Engagement
Communication Letters about school programs
Minutes of Meetings and Coaching Sessions
Program Reports and Activity Plans
These documents showcase a teacher’s involvement in engaging with the school and community.
Professional Development and Reflection
Reflection Notes or Journal Entries
Feedback from Peers, Supervisors, or Students
Certificates of Recognition or Awards
These MOVs highlight continuous professional growth and self-improvement.
Implementation of School Policies
Proof of Participation in School-Community Partnerships
Records of Teacher-Parent Conferences on School Policies
Documentation of School Policy Implementation
These MOVs demonstrate a teacher’s contribution to school governance and policy execution.
Recognition and Career Advancement
Annotated Evidence of Practice (e.g., feedback from peers, supervisors, students)
Certificates of Recognition, Awards, or Performance Ratings
Recommendation Letters from School Heads or Community Leaders
These documents validate a teacher’s professionalism and impact in the field.
Final Thoughts
Submitting the correct MOVs is crucial for teachers to showcase their competencies and meet professional standards. By preparing and organizing these documents, educators can ensure their growth, recognition, and continuous development in the teaching profession.
