Narrative Report
Topic: “PHILIPPINE PROFESSIONAL
STANDARDS FOR TEACHERS”
Date: January 11, 2019

The 3rd SLAC session was all about Philippine

Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). The resource
speaker started the session with a prayer and then followed
by the checking of attendance. Right after that, she
introduced and discussed to us her topic.
Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST)
signed by our Department of Education Secretary Leonor
Briones into policy through DepEd Order No. 42, S. 2017 last
August 2017. The policy states, among others, that the PPST
“shall be used as a basis for all learning and development
programs for teachers.”
As a teacher, understanding the PPST is crucial in order
for us to grow and flourish in our profession. The PPST
identifies what we are expected to know, be able to do, and
value our profession.
This resource package serves as our guidebook towards
becoming better acquainted with the PPST. It comprises 12
modules corresponding to the 12 indicators that are aligned
with the Results-based Performance Management System
(RPMS). One of which is use a range of teaching strategies
that enhance learner achievement in literacy and numeracy
skills.
 Literacy is not just about learning to read and write. It is
necessary in order to learn any subject at school. Similarly,
numeracy is more than counting numbers. Both skills are at
interplay in the holistic performance of our learners. As
teachers of literacy and numeracy across the curriculum, we
should provide our learners a range of different contexts in
which they can use these skills. We all have the
responsibility to promote these skills in our classroom. In all
levels and curriculum areas, we should explore the
possibilities of extending and complementing numeracy and
literacy.
We should give our children quality instruction so that
they can have the best chances to succeed in life.
