2. Career pathing
requires the teacher to take
an honest look at their career
goals, skills, needed
knowledge, experience, and
personal characteristics
requiring a plan to obtain
what is necessary to carry
out the career path.

4. 3. You can develop a
career path by
looking at your
desired job/jobs
within the
organization. Then,
chart a course put it
in writing and then
own it.I
4. Recognizing and
reflecting on these
stages provides teachers
lateral movement,
transfers, promotion in
rank and positions, and
rewards and
recognitions.

5. 5. Attaining the desired
goals will also require the
teachers to develop skills,
pursue employee
development opportunities,
and obtain certain
experiences as they
progress along their career
path through the
organization.
6. Coaching and mentoring
assistance from the more
experienced teachers,
master teachers,
department heads, school
heads, education program
supervisors, and other
experts in the field will help
and guide in coursing your
paths.

6. 7. The entry level of a newly-hired teacher is Teacher I regardless
of experience. A teacher may be promoted to Teacher II or
Teacher III depending on the units earned in their master’s degree
and other qualifications for promotion. A Teacher III may opt to be
a Master Teacher (MT) or a Head Teacher (HT) depending on the
degree that the teacher has earned. An MT or HT may opt to take
the principal’s test and become school head if he or she
successfully passes the said test. In some cases, principals and
teachers who have the qualifications may apply directly to the
division office, regional office, or even at the central office.

18. New promotions policy for teachers eyed
(The Philippine Star) - September 27, 2018

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) is finalizing a new promotion
policy for public school teachers.
Education Undersecretary Jesus Mateo yesterday said the new policy will address concerns of
teachers with regard to career development.
The new policy will enable teachers to be promoted to higher positions based on their attainment of
set competencies rather than waiting for a vacancy like in the present set-up.
“Teachers will have a career path from Teacher I to Teacher VII (Salary Grade 11 to Salary Grade
17) and Master Teacher 1 to Master Teacher IV (Salary Grade 18 to Salary Grade 22),” said the
Department of Education (DepEd) in a separate statement.
“This shall also mean that teachers will no longer have to shift to the school administration career
line for career growth,” it added.
