This was signed into policy by Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Maria Leonor Briones through DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2017. The PPST articulates what constitutes teacher quality through welldefined domains, strands and indicators that provide measures of professional learning, competent practice and effective engagement across teachers’ career stages. This document serves as 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. Mr. Warden Baltazar, EPS MAPEH and Mrs. Erlinda Quinuan Coordinating Principal of Tublay District discussed on RPMS tools, portfolio assessment annotation and self-assessment tools, classroom observation tools respectively.
