6. Is it possible for a newly-hired DepEd teacher to exhibit teaching practices in Career Stage
3 and 4? Explain your answer
I think yes. There are some people who really an expert on something.
There are people who are excellent even at school. As a result, I really
think it is possible for a newly hired teacher to exhibit teaching practices
in Career Stage 3 and 4 because knowledge and skills can be learned
through experience. There are some newly hired DepEd teachers who
rendered years of service in private institutions here they earned
knowledge and skills so I can say it is really possible.

stage that aligns best with the described practice.

Read through the PPST indicators focusing only on the indicators under your career stage. For
example, if you are Proficient, go through the indicators under the Proficient column. Reflect on
whether your practices align with the expectations of the PPST based on your career stage.
Based on the current default classification, in which career stage are you in?
- I think I belong at Career Stage 1- Beginning Teachers. I am only 1 year and a
half in service and although I am qualified as a professional teacher, I am still
lacking skills to be called proficient teacher. I still need to develop skills and
hone my known teaching strategies.

Reflect on the strategic relationships amongst the PPST and the HR systems.
Having the right perspective about the PPST and the different HR systems can help
you plan your career and move forward according to your short- and long-term
professional goals. Reflect on what you have learned from readings and activities in
Section I of this Module. Answer each reflective question in the I-chart, or
information chart, below. Share your insights with your mentor at your next
mentoring session.

Reflect on your greatest learnings about meritocracy and fitness principles on hiring and

This tells me that a teacher applicant is evaluated based on his/her capabilities and
qualifications. A teacher is promoted based on the performance, merit and not on
the help of others or what we called “padrino system” or “backer.” So for a teacher
to be qualified in a promotion, he/she should use the PPST to monitor his/her own
performance and align his/her professional practices with the expectations based
on the PPST.
RPMS My Intended Activities per Cycle (What preparatory
activities do you need to do in between each cycle?)
Cycles Inclusive Dates
Scenario 1: Classes have ended. Teachers Rona, Evalou and Rex are planning
for their development needs. Teacher Rona shared with the group that she
struggles to meet the indicators in Domain 2 of PPST. She has been challenged
in managing her learners’ behavior. Teacher Evalou admitted that she has not
fully developed all core competencies indicated in the RPMS. Teacher Rex is the
top performer among the three. He just got an “Outstanding Rating” for the
school year. Teacher Rex feels that he still needs to participate in L&D activities
to address his developmental needs.

The lesson exemplar that I have chosen is in Edukasyon Sa Pagpapakatao learning area. I
used the IDEA exemplar (Tagalog) since my learning area is ESP. First on the development
part, I started with the review of the previous lesson and had an activity which motivates
the learner to stimulate what they know about the new topic. As for the Development
part, I started discussing the new topic based on the guesses and answers from the
motivation activity. I also prepared activities using the different platforms in ICT to engage
them better. I asked them to explain one thing or another to encourage their creative and
critical thinking skills. As per the Engagement part, I group the class into five and have
them collaborate with one another. In the assessment part, I conducted a 5-item quiz to
identify their learnings and if the competencies have been met.
From the lesson plan/exemplar you provided in the Introductory Activity,
which portions demonstrate/highlight COT Indicator 1? Elaborate.
Almost all indicators are present because I made the lesson exemplar
considering the indicators that will be needed to be seen. I consider the
indicators because all COT indicators are helpful in teaching and learning
process.
