‘A guide for teachers by teachers’ 1 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Merlina MalipotDespite various complaints from the field, the Department of Education (DepEd) reaffirmed that the alignment of the Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS) with the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) was decided upon by teachers themselves. This, DepEd said, led to the “development” of the RPMS Manual for Teachers and School Heads that is aligned with PPST. Understanding PPST-aligned RPMS toolsThe RPMS tools pertain to the two different teacher performance assessment instruments, one for Teacher I to III (proficient teachers) and another for Master Teacher I to IV (highly-proficient teachers). The RPMS and the PPST are both being contested by teachers groups such as the Teachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC) and the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT).
