Our Vision forTeachers’ Career
Progression
Teachers should be given
career options between
classroom teaching and
school administration.
“Wala ng public school
teacher ang magre-retire
na Teacher I lamang.”
Teachers’ career path
should allow them to
remain in the classroom
while advancing in stature
and compensation.
Teachers’ career
advancement should be
based on quality of
teaching practice.
Our Strategy to Realize our
Vision
Uphold teacher quality
standards through
competency- and
merit- based
promotion/reclass.
Clarify and rationalize career
paths for teachers.
Teachers may choose
alternative career paths
once they reach Highly
Proficient.
Create new positions in the
classroom teaching career
line (Teacher IV, V, VI, VII
and Master Teacher V)
thereby providing more
opportunities for promotion.
Reclassification as the
primary means for
promotion, making
promotion
faster and self-paced.
