Dear Maam:

With a burning passion to share my knowledge and experiences, I want to apply for the
position of Math Teacher for Junior High school in your institution. My resume is
enclosed for your review. Given my related experience and ample capabilities I would
appreciate your consideration for this job.

I completed my Bachelor of Secondary Education degree in 2014 and was hired as a

Math teacher in a Catholic private school right away.

I have experience teaching junior high school students of different levels for almost 2
years. Given this experience, I can confidently say that I understand how the system
works in the state schools and I can do the duties and the responsibilities of a public
school teacher.

Before graduating college, I was able to participate and join in different clubs and
organisations in our university where I got the chance to practice my leadership and
academic skills. I was always elected as one of the officers of the students’ body and our
very own school paper.

With the desire to train expose myself early to the challenges of being an educator, I also
applied as a part-time Mathematics tutor in Kumon, an institution that provides quality
Math and Science lessons to students who are interested in such disciplines. I stayed in
the institution for a year and ended my term with a grateful heart. You can refer to the
resume enclosed in this letter if you wish to contact my used to be immediate superiors.

Believing that teachers should engage themselves in a life-long learning, I have decided
to start taking my graduate studies in Eastern Manila State University last year of 2016.
I am now pursuing Master of Arts in Instruction and Supervision (major in Math).

Experience has taught me how to build strong relationships with any departments at an
organization. I have the ability to work within a team as well as cross-team. I believe
that your school would give me the opportunity to learn more things in my chosen field
and that it would hone my teaching skills further.

Should you have queries or need information, you can contact me at +639099353405. I
will be available right after you keep in contact with me.
I give you thanks for giving me a chance to serve in your reputed institution.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr. Mark Anthony B. Llego

Dear Ma’am;

Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I am interested in applying for a
secondary level teaching position in your school. I am looking to use my degree in
Secondary Education major in Social Studies. I acquired my teaching licensed two years
ago and have practiced the profession since then.

While teaching in St. Matthew’s College, I have had opportunities to work with Junior
High School and Senior High School students. I was able to develop my teaching skills
as well as my interpersonal skills as I dealt not just with the students but with the
different people who were involved in our school community. I have had many
accomplished tasks and activities in the previous institution I belonged to such as social
extension activities or community involvement projects.

Believing that the more the students are socially involved, the more they develop their
opinion and stand in the society they belong, I’d like to instill the value of social
awareness (which is one of the hallmarks of the kind of education you offer) in the
students of your institution.

I am seeking a career that will help me to continue working with people in various ways.
I hope you will find that I am qualified for the position you seek to fill.

If I can provide you with any further information on my background and qualifications,
please let me know.

I look forward to hearing from you.

 Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jerome A. Puntod

of your prospect and ask the school head or the officer in charge of collecting application
documents about the application period.

 3. SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION FOLDER
Submit your application (all the required documents attached in a white folder) to the
school you prefer to teach. These documents will be double-checked in front of you so be
prepared with your original or supporting documents. You can also send your
application to the division’s office, but the typical flow of application starts by
submitting your application to the head of the public school

For Elementary Teachers:

If you are an elementary teacher, you have to submit your application to the head or
principal of the elementary school which is nearest to the place where you live. It is
because of the provision of R.A. No. 8190 known as the Localization Law which let
teachers and other government employees to be assigned to a place near where they
reside.

4. WAITING FOR ANNOUNCEMENT

You were told to wait for the announcement about the schedule of these three critical
processes you have to undergo before getting hired:

 Interview
 Demonstration teaching
 English Proficiency Test

The date, time, and venue of the process mentioned above will be announced to you
through call or text message by the person-in-charge. To make sure you keep updated of
the dates, you can get or ask for the contact number of the one in charge of receiving the
application.

5. INTERVIEW
Make sure you appear on the date of interview. The DepEd prioritizes no one. You have
to follow the dates they scheduled strictly.

DEPED TEACHER INTERVIEW TIPS:

 Dress neatly and adequately, make yourself presentable to leave a good impression.
 The interview will go quickly. Teachers in TeacherPH Facebook Group discussed that
you would only have 2-5 minute interview, but it varies from division to division.
Remember that there are many applicants and your first resort is to look different in a
way that is acceptable.
 Practice answering the possible questions that might be asked.
 Project as a smart and cunning personality to the interviewer.

WHAT IS A GROUP INTERVIEW?

FYI, there are divisions which cannot handle a large number of applicants, so they don’t
interview the applicants one by one. They instead do the group interview. Now for you to
garner many points and to impress the panel, make sure that you volunteer first to
answer or that you provide them with a unique and honest answer.

Try to think of solutions which is not typical but practical. That way, you will win the
panel’s approval.

If you are a teacher with timid personality, group interview sounds an enormous hassle.
But you have no choice but to undergo this process. After all, you are a teacher and so
you must learn how to present and to compose yourself in front of a group or many
people as you will be doing it so once you are hired. Try practicing now and participate
in activities that will help you boost your confidence in facing people (e.g., participate in
workshops, volunteer to be the presenter during seminars or training, etc.).

After the interview, wait for the announcement about the demo teaching.

6. DEMONSTRATION TEACHING
Again, demonstration teaching is done in different ways in different divisions. If there
are many applicants, expect that your demo teaching will not last that long, but it is still
best to prepare.

DEPED DEMONSTRATION TEACHING TIPS:

 Write a good demonstration lesson plan and practice to execute it very well.
 The Visual Aid must be interesting and appropriate to the topic.
 The use of Audio-Visual Material is highly recommended.
 Make sure you know your major very well. It is highly possible that you do an
impromptu demo teaching in which the panel will ask what your field of specialization is
 and gives you the topic to discuss. You will only have a few minutes then to teach them
the subject they have chosen for you. So be prepared.
 However, in some schools, especially those which are located in the city, you are most
likely expected to use powerpoint presentation and audio-visual materials. Being
creative is the key.
 Think of some ways on how to be lively during your demo. Panels are easily impressed
with those who can establish a connection to them so make sure you have an exciting
motivation activity.
 Your good command of the language can also impress the panels.
 Less talk, less mistake. Always remember that if you are not sure of what to say, better
answer shortly. There is no room for errors when you are facing the panels so, be very
well-prepared!
 After the demo teaching, wait for the announcement of the schedule of the English
Proficiency Test.

7. ENGLISH PROFICIENCY TEST

All the applicants in the division will take this test at the same time. Remember that
most of the content of this exam is reading comprehension.

If you want to know more about the exam, this links will give you information on what
the test is about and how to ace it.

 How to Pass the DepEd English Proficiency Test (EPT)

 2019 DepEd English Proficiency Test (EPT) Reviewer

8. WAIT FOR THE RELEASE OF REGISTRY OF

QUALIFIED APPLICANTS (RQA) LIST
It might take one to three months or more. The result will be posted on the bulletin
board of the division’s office or social media. It may be sent to your email too or may be
displayed on the information board of the school where you submitted your application.

Being in the RQA list doesn’t guarantee that you can immediately get hired and start
working in the school you desire to teach. If you are not on top of the list, you will be
called later to report for they prioritize those who got higher points during the
application process but rest assured that there’s a job waiting for you. Just wait. It takes
time.

Take note:
If you are in the bottom of the RQA list and haven’t got a call, try to follow-up your
application by calling the division’s office or the school where you submitted your
application.

DEPED TEACHER 1
EVALUATION AND SELECTION
PROCEDURE AND CRITERIA
For Elementary and Junior High School

1. Education – 25%
It is computed by evaluating your academic achievement in college. This is done by
calculating the general weighted average of your entire subjects with their
corresponding units. You get 25 points, which is the highest if your general weighted
average is 99-100% or a 1.00. If it is 97.75-98.75 or 1.10, you get 24 points and so on.

For those who graduated with a non-education degree but wish to apply as public school
teachers, yours shall also be computed by getting your college GWA. This will be
combined with the GWA of your 18 education units. This means to say that you can
apply only if you have taken 18 units in education. A corresponding transmutation table
will be constructed for those who have a grading system other than the ones mentioned
earlier.

2. Teaching experience – 10%

You will be given one point for every year that you taught in a pre-school, elementary
and secondary in both private and public schools prior to your application. However, if
you taught for 15 years already, it is still counted as 10 points.
3. Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET)
rating – 10%
If your LET rating is 87% or higher, you get the maximum 10 points. If it is in the range
of 85%-86%, you get 9 points and so on.

4. Experiential learning course-5%

This includes field study or practice teaching. The maximum points given to teacher-
applicants here is 5 points.

5. Specialized training and skills-5%

This should be supported with documents. Besides, the said training should have lasted
for a week. If less than a week, it is not counted. You will also be asked to demonstrate
that particular skill. If you have that specialized training in sports music, journalism,
theater arts and information, and communication technology, then you get the points
provided you satisfy the requirements mentioned earlier.

6. Interview – 10%
Your personality and potential are measured here. Be alert, self-confident, and poised
throughout the interview. Take note of your appearance and voice projection. The way
you present ideas, judgment and decisions are also taken note of. Don’t be rattled when
you are asked a barrage of questions. Show that you are not easily stressed out.

7. Demonstration teaching – 20%

As pointed out earlier, prepare a well-written lesson plan. Show that you can manage
the classroom well. Deliver the lesson in such a way that every student will be engrossed
to what is transpiring in the room. The evaluators will likely give you a high score if your
students get a 100% mastery level during your demonstration teaching.

8. Communication skills – 15%

You are given points here based on the result of your English proficiency test.

If you have been contemplating to apply as a public school teacher in the Philippines,
now is the right time to start applying. I hope this hub will guide you through your
application.
