2. What do you think is your current Career Stage?
Proficient Teacher, because I am able to plan, manage and implement developmentally
sequenced teaching and learning process to meet curriculum requirements and varied
teaching contexts. Set achievable and appropriate learning outcomes that are aligned with
learning competencies. Another thing I already know how to adapt and implement
learning programs that ensure relevance and responsiveness to the needs of all learners.
Participate in collegial discussions that use teacher and learner feedback to enrich teaching
practice
3. What do you think would support you to advance to the next Career Stage?
As with any vocation, teachers need to develop strong identities as professionals. In
addition to obvious factors such as recruitment, remuneration, and opportunities for
advancement, teacher professionalism is also impacted by access to quality professional
development. It’s hard to feel like a professional when you don’t feel competent, when
you get no training or support, when you teach children with severe academic and
emotional needs and when you have no idea how to address these needs.
4. What Career Stage do you aspire to ten years from now?
Of Course all of us, not only in a teaching profession, aspire for the highest goal and that
is to become a distinguished individual. I love this job and I would be happy to work as a
teacher in five years’ time, and also in ten years’ time. Hopefully I will become a great
teacher over the years, someone the students will remember in good means, like someone
who had a positive impact on their life and career. I have such teachers in my mind,
teachers who helped me become who I am today, and who were my inspiration when I
was deciding about my professional career, and enrolled for teaching. Hopefully I
can become such a teacher myself in five years time.
5. Are there aspects of your teaching practice that exceed practices articulated in the Career Stage
2 descriptors? If yes, please cite them
None
6. Is it possible for a newly-hired DepEd teacher to exhibit teaching practices in Career Stage 3
and 4? Explain your answer.
Yes, is it possible for a newly-hired DepEd teacher to exhibit teaching practices in Career
Stage 3 and 4. Each career Stages comprise descriptors that have been informed by
teachers’ understandings of what is required to teach of four career stages. The descriptors
represent a continuum of development within the profession by providing a basis for
attracting, preparing, developing and supporting teachers. So as a newly-hired DepEd
teacher, we can exhibit some of the teaching practices in other career stages..

Required Task 3: Reflection
Based on the current default classification, in which career stage are you in?
Based from the qualifications of Career Stage 2, I see myself a proficient teacher. I have been
teaching in the private school for 3 years and 1 year in the public school. When I was in the
private school, I experienced preparing my RPMS adapted from DepEd. Now that I am in the
public school, I am continually guided by our master teacher on the objectives which is vague
to me. I always seek their assistance and guidance in checking and improving my lesson plan.
Multiple Choice Test: Respond to the following scenarios based on your understanding of the
PPST and the strategic connect of the DepEd HR systems:
Scenario I: Teacher Anthony’s Dreams It is Teacher Anthony’s first year of teaching. After
going through the Teacher Induction Program (TIP), he dreams of becoming a Master Teacher
someday. He knows that he has to work on his competency gaps based on the indicators for
proficient teachers in the PPST. After taking the self-assessment test (SAT), Teacher Anthony
admitted to his mentor that he needs support in certain domains at the beginning level.
1. Which of the following will NOT GREATLY help Teacher Anthony achieve his dream of
becoming a Master Teacher?
a. Use the result of his SAT in identifying his learning needs
b. Attend as many learning and development activities to earn as many certificates for promotion
c. Regularly revisit the PPST to align his professional development needs with the expectations of
proficient teachers
d. Gather evidences of his good performance
Answer: B, merely attending training sessions is insufficient to help teacher Anthony reach
his career goal.
Teacher Ruth had three (3) years teaching experience in a private school before she was hired
in the public high school where she is currently teaching. Because of her prior experience, she
has already acquired some good teaching practices and she has been identified by her School
Head as a high performer and high potential future teacher leader. This coincides with Teacher
Ruth’s dream to become a future school leader in DepEd. However, she is a newly-hired
teacher and her colleagues label her as Beginning Teacher under the PPST. Which of the
following behaviors can help teacher Ruth fulfill her career goal?
a. Align with the PPST her professional teaching practices
b. Get help from somebody she knows in DepEd to serve as her “padrino”
c. Gather certificates of her previous trainings in the private school where she taught and keep it
for promotion
d. Make friends with her school head, so she can have his/her favor
Answer: A. There is a high potential for promotion, when beginning teachers use the PPST
to monitor their own performance and align their professional practices with the
expectations from them based on the PPST, which is a nationally accepted standards for
teacher quality (DepEd Order No. 42, s.2017).
Scenario 3: Teacher Ruth’s Supportive Mentor Teacher Ruth is in her second year of teaching.
She is quite a fast learner when it comes to using the PPST for her professional development
benefits. Her mentor has been very supportive and is one of the key contributors to teacher
Ruth’s successful completion of the Teacher Induction Program. Phase IV of the RPMS cycle,
Performance Rewarding and Development Planning, is fast approaching. Which of the
following is most likely to happen to teacher Ruth?
a. To address her performance gaps, teacher Ruth will be referred to a peer for coaching session
during the next school year
b. Teacher Ruth will not be able to get the outstanding rating for the current school year
c. Teacher Ruth may be awarded for her outstanding performance
d. Teacher Ruth will remain at the beginning level of the PPST
Answer: C
Scenario 4: Possibilities in the Life of a Newly Hired Teacher Teacher
Abel is a newly hired teacher. Prior to his work in DepEd, he had been working as Department
Head in private school. His professional experience is very evident in the professional ethics
that he manifests in his teaching practices. Which of the following statement is NOT possible
in this case?
a. Teacher Abel could be a high potential for future school leadership
b. He may not need to undertake DepEd’s Induction Program
c. He can be tapped as resource person in the school’s Learning Action Cell (LAC)
d. His progression across the PPST continuum could be faster if he purposely use PPST as the
basis for his professional practice
Answer: B
Scenario 5: Propelling Teachers Motivation School Head
Session 2: The PPST, RSP and the Merit Selection Plan (MSP) of DepEd
Required Task 2: Reflection
Reflect on your greatest learnings about meritocracy and fitness principles on hiring and
promotion. What does this tell you? How will you adjust your professional goal and practice with
DepEd’s expectations from its personnel? Write your reflections/insights on the space provided
below.
As a newly hired teacher in the public school, I can say that the Department of
Education is really striving to hire and promote personnel through its set standards
or qualifications. It is a best choice to set a standard when hiring or promoting in
order to ensure quality education among teaching personnel. As I begin my journey
in the public school, I will follow what is in the PPST as my guide to further
enhance my professional growth. Time is constantly changing and so with the
qualifications being set in the PPST, I must adapt to the change and always update
myself with current changes.
Session 3: The Strategic Alignment of the RPMS with the PPST
Analyze the two (2) scenarios below and indicate whether the following statements are true
or false.
Scenario A: Teacher Paula is a new BSE graduate Major in Science who has been hired to teach
in a Junior High School.
Scenario B: Teacher Dennis has been teaching Science in a private school for the past four (4)
years. After he completed his doctoral degree, he applied to the same public high school where
Teacher Paula is working. Both Teachers Paula and Dennis are newly-hired teachers handling
Science.
Statement Response Feedback
Since Teacher Paula is False L&D is the same to both because they are
inexperienced, her L&D needs newly hired teachers regardless of their
might be different from that of teaching experience.
Teacher Dennis, who has been
teaching for the past three (3)
years.

This is a lesson plan I used during the classroom observation, I would say
that some indicators are not present in this lesson plan because they are observable.
It is up to the rater to observe or to see during the execution of lesson plan of the
teacher. Some indicators which are non-observable are annotated in the above
lesson plan. Besides, I was oriented that parts of lesson which might not be noticed
by rater during the observation must be annotated in the lesson plan.
