Philippine Professional Standards for
Teachers (PPST)
OVERVIEW
NCBTs was institutionalized through…
CHED Memorandum Order No. 52, s. 2007
DepEd order No. 32, s. 2009.
It emerged as part of the implementation of the Basic
Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA).
WHY IS PPST CREATED WHEN THERE IS AN
EXISTING NCBTS FRAMEWORK?
The PPST module distributed by DepEd
explains that
PPST complements the reform initiatives on teacher quality from
pre-service education to in-service training (INSET).It articulates
what constitutes teacher quality in the K to 12 Reform through
well-defined domains, strands and indicators that provide
measures of professional learning, competent practice and
effective engagement..
This set of standards makes explicit what teachers should
know, be able to do and value to achieve competence,
improved student learning outcomes and eventually quality
education. It is founded on teaching philosophies of learner-
centeredness, lifelong learning, and inclusivity/inclusiveness,
among others. The professional standards, therefore, become a
public statement of professional accountability that can help
teachers reflect on and assess their practices as they aspire for
personal growth and professional development.
PPST started its implementation in August of 2017
through DepEd Order No. 42 signed by Secretary
Leonor M. Briones.

Hence, the PPST aims to:
1. Set out clear expectations of teachers along well-defined career stages of
professional development from beginning to distinguished practice.
2. Engage teachers to actively embrace a continuing effort in attaining
proficiency; and,
3. Apply a uniform measure to assess teacher performance, identify needs, and
provide support for professional development.
