constitute the final rating for each COI.
• Additional classroom observation may be conducted for purposes of technical
assistance to teachers to improve their teaching practice. However, it will NOT be
a factor in the determination of a Ratee’s Performance Rating. The purpose of
which shall be clearly stated or agreed upon prior to any scheduled classroom
observation.
• All classroom observations for performance evaluation purposes shall be
scheduled in advance and the ratee must be informed at least three (3) days
before the schedule.
22. Guidelines for Classroom Observation
NOTE:
• In case of unforeseen circumstances and fortuitous events that are outside the
control of the school, concerned schools may be allowed to deviate from the
prescribed timeline of conducting classroom observations; provided that:
• requests in relation thereto shall be subject to the approval of the
SDS, and
• all applicable classroom observation modes are exhausted prior to
submitting the request.
MODE OF CLASSROOM OBSERVATION:
• In-person or face-to-face observation
• In case of any national pronouncements that may affect the operations of the
school,
• Online Synchronous Classroom Observation
• Asynchronous Classroom Observation
• Classroom Observation via LAC
23. Modes of Classroom Observation
CLASSROOM OBSERVATION GUIDELINES
Default Mode of Classroom Observation (to be adopted by all public schools, unless
otherwise specified by the DepEd Central Office)
1. In-person/face-to
face observation
• For SY 2022-2023 to 2024-2025, the usual protocols and
procedures indicated in the 2019 DepEd RPMS Manual for
Teachers and School Heads shall apply.
• It is highly encouraged that 2-3 observers participate in the
classroom observation. However, if challenges of schedule
and/or availability of observers hinder a school to follow this
recommendation, one (1) observer will be enough.
Alternative Classroom Observation Modes (shall only be adopted by all public schools
as a result of unforeseen circumstances that affect the day-to-day operations of the school,
subject to internal guidelines issued by DepEd Central Office)
2. Online Synchronous
Observation
• Observation of real-time teaching (online synchronous
learning or two-way radio instruction
• This applies to teachers who will adopt online synchronous
learning or two-way radio instruction regardless of the
number of classes and learners.
24. Modes of Classroom Observation
CLASSROOM
OBSERVATION
GUIDELINES
3. Online
Synchronous
Observation
• Consider this mode of observation if option 1 is not possible
• This applies to teachers who will adopt online asynchronous
learning or audio lesson in any of their classes or learners.
• A video or audio lesson shall be used in lesson delivery as
part of the supplementary materials or as one of the
learning materials for online asynchronous learning or two-
way radio instruction. It is not the same as the video lesson
for TV-based instruction or the audio lesson for RBI that
CO/RO/SDO produces.
• A video or audio lesson should be SLM-based or MELC-
aligned. A teacher can use any recording device to record
him/herself while teaching a lesson.
• A video or audio lesson can be stored in a Cloud or any
storage device or uploaded to an online classroom or a
Learning Management System
25. Modes of Classroom Observation
CLASSROOM
OBSERVATION
GUIDELINES
4. Observation via
Learning Action
Cell (LAC) session
/
Demonstration
Teaching
• Consider this mode of observation if options 1 and 2 are
not possible.
• This applies to teachers who will adopt pure modular
learning (print/digital), RBI, and TBI.
• During the LAC session, the Ratees/Raters may adopt
either of the following scenarios:
• Demonstration Teaching with co-teachers as
learners:
- Ratees will demonstrate the identified COIs and
deliver the lesson as if it were a real class with
actual learners.
• Demonstration of best practices:
- Ratees will demonstrate the identified COIs based
on their understanding of the objective and share it
with their co-teacher during the LAC session.

Geared towards competency –based performance management, professional development, and career progression, the PPST –based RPMS shall utilize all the 37 indicators of the PPST and shall be distributed across three school years (SY 2022-2023, SY 2023-2024, and SY 2024-2025). This details procedures and all other information on the adoption and implementation of the performance management and appraisal of teachers to ensure that the measure of performance of teachers throughout the next three Sys are appropriate, adaptive, and relevant to capture teachers’ actual performance and are applicable to all contexts and scenarios faced by the schools adopting different learning modalities (such as when providing education in emergencies). It shall guide the Ratees, Raters, and Approving Authorities, and other stakeholders in managing and evaluating teachers’ performance anchored on PPST.
DM 008, s. 2023, titled MultiYear Guidelines on the Results-Based Performance Management System-Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers is anchored on DO No. 2, s. 2015 otherwise known as the Guidelines on the Establishment and Implementation of the Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS) and DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2017 – National Adoption and Implementation of Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST), which mandates that all performance appraisals for teachers shall be based on the standards based on the PPST.
This guidelines shall cover all All teachers in public elementary and secondary schools and community learning centers, including those assigned to under the Alternative Learning System (ALS), Madrasah Education, Special Education (SpEd), and Special Science Education. Moreover, the RPMS timeline for the next three Sys shall be aligned with the Annual School Calendar and Activities of the Department
The performance cycle of teachers follows the DepEd RPMS Cycle prescribed I DO No. 2, s. 2015. The figure in the slide shows the four phases of the RPMS Cycle and its alignment with the RPMS-related activities of the teachers within a school year.
The additional teacher positions that may be created by virtue of EO No. 174 (Establishing the Expanded Career Progression System for Public School Teachers) shall likewise use the Proficient Tools , unless otherwise stated in subsequent guidelines.
The additional teacher positions that may be created by virtue of EO No. 174 (Establishing the Expanded Career Progression System for Public School Teachers) shall likewise use the Proficient Tools , unless otherwise stated in subsequent guidelines.
The additional Master Teacher positions that may be created by virtue of EO No. shall likewise use the Highly Proficient Tools , unless otherwise stated in subsequent guidelines.
The additional Master Teacher positions that may be created by virtue of EO No. shall likewise use the Highly Proficient Tools , unless otherwise stated in subsequent guidelines.
These guidelines shall prescribe the specific set of indicators for each school year. All school-based personnel covered in this Memorandum shall strictly abide by the set of indicators assigned for each SY. Any modification to the set of indicators per school year shall NOT be allowed.
The usual protocols and procedures indicated in the 2019 DepEd RPMS Manual for Teachers and School Heads shall apply. Annex D provides for the additional guidelines on the conduct of all classroom observation modes. To further guide the ratees and raters. Annex E provides for the pre-observation and post – observation process for any mode of classroom observation modes.
