What is Tiered Instruction?
Tiered instruction is a method that varies the level of assignments, so all students have a chance to find success and make progress. Teachers tier learning so students are working at different levels of the same task, some more difficult and challenging than others. Source: Study.com

Unpacking the Standards


How to unpack curriculum standards?

These are the steps in unpacking standards into learning targets: 

1. Read the standards as a team. 

2. Circle the verbs. 

3. Underline the nouns and noun phrases. 

4. Determine the number of targets found within the standards. 

5. Write as separate learning targets. 

6. Remember to keep the core language intact at all times. 

7. Do not omit any part of the standard. 

8. Determine the depth of knowledge required of the standard. 

9. Pull the academic vocabulary from the standard. 

10. Unpack all of the standards before digging into how the standards will be taught and assessed. 

11. Read all of the unpacked standards to determine the standards you will prioritize. These are often called power standards, essential knowledge, or big rocks. Remember: the standards we have determined as essential are the ones we are going to spend the bulk of our time teaching, assessing, re-teaching and reassessing. These are the standards we can’t imagine our students leaving our course of study or grade level without mastering. Prioritization does not mean elimination. The other standards will still be taught. They are good to know or nice to know but a student could still progress to the next grade or course without mastering them at a high level. 

This is from our PRIMALS seminar.

Classroom Observation Tool for Proficient Teachers



A classroom observation is the purposeful examination of teaching and/or learning events through the systematic processes of data collection and analysis (Bailey, 2001). 

 Both the teacher being observed and the observer having significant roles before, during, and after the observation process.


One of the tools to measure the performance of the teacher and to ensure that they inculcate the standard competencies of the learner should acquire inside the classroom is conducting Classroom Observation Tool (COT) for every quarter. 

 The Principal, Head Teacher and Master Teacher will conduct the COT to their teacher announce and they have agreement what indicators that they will going to observe with this the teacher have time for instructional materials needed, what strategies should be used for effective teaching and classroom preparations. 

 The teacher will probably get a very satisfactory or even an outstanding performance because she was very prepared before the observation. 

 This is so significant for the teacher because they were given a chance to show the best practices in classroom management and they were challenged to be more effective and efficient when it comes in teaching which is the very important role in teaching profession.

What is PPST?

What is the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers?
The DepEd recognizes the importance of professional standards in the continuing professional development and advancement of teachers based on the principle of lifelong learning. 

 Quality learning is contingent upon quality teaching. 
Hence, enhancing teacher quality becomes of utmost importance for the long term and sustainable nation building.

 The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers was developed through the Research Center for Teacher Quality (RCTQ) with support from the Australian Government. 

 The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers, which is built on NCBTS, complements the reform initiatives on teacher quality from pre-service education to in-service training. 

 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 own practices as they aspire for personal growth and professional development.  

 4. The PPST aims to:
a. set out clear expectations of teachers along well-defined career stages of professional development from beginning to distinguished practice;
b. engage teachers to actively embrace a continuing effort m attaining proficiency; and
c. apply a uniform measure to assess teacher performance, identify needs, and provide support for professional development.
The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers defines teacher quality in the Philippines. 
The standards describe the expectations of teachers’ increasing levels of knowledge, practice and professional engagement. 
At the same time, the standards allow for teachers’ growing understanding, applied with increasing sophistication across a broader and more complex range of teaching/learning situations.  

The 7 Domains collectively comprise 37 strands that refer to more specific dimensions of teacher practices.
Domain 1, Content Knowledge and Pedagogy, is composed of seven strands:  
1. Content knowledge and its application within and across curriculum areas

5. Use of assessment data to enhance teaching and learning practices and programs

MOOE Downloading Day


 

During the 33rd National Seminar-Workshop on the Preparation of CY 2018 Mid-Year Financial Reports held in Greenleaf Hotel, General Santos City last July 24, 2018, the Office of the Undersecretary of Budget—Finance and Performance Monitoring (OUFBPM), together with the Budget Division, recognized the top performances in the following categories: Best in Budget Utilization and Best in Use of Budget Monitoring System.

The top regions awarded for Budget Utilization were determined by their respective obligation rate (obligations versus adjusted allotment), as reported in the 2017 DepEd Statement of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursements, and Balances (SAAODB). It was a tight race as six (6) regions closed the year at a rate of 99%.

Overall, the regional performance for 2017 closed at 97.85% obligation rate and a disbursement rate of 94.47%, which was computed based on total disbursement versus total obligation.

The top performers in the utilization of the Budget Management System (BMS) were also awarded. Rolled-out in 2012, the BMS was created to help implementing units—especially the financial staff assigned in the preparation of various reports required by oversight agencies, by monitoring balances of allotments by PAPs. The availability of this data makes it easy to analyze, review, and manipulate budget allotments to ensure smooth program implementation.

The top performers were chosen according to the following criteria:
● Accuracy in the recording of authorized appropriations
● Implementation compliance of all operating units
● Availability of integrated data of the entire region
● Use of the Budget Monitoring System

It must be noted that the use of other “budget monitoring systems” were also considered in the conferring of the award, as long as it yielded reports suitable to the aforementioned criteria.

Moreover, the School Division Office (SDO) of Ilocos Norte was also awarded for initiating a best practice called the “MOOE Downloading Day,” wherein the accountants, bookkeepers, and cash division personnel convene to process all the MOOE requirements for the principals for a timely delivery of services. An audio-visual presentation featuring the best practice called was shown during the said event.

Before the closing of the awarding ceremony, USec. Anne Sevilla challenged the finance officers to initiate or implement innovative ways, within the bounds of the law, to fast-track processes and aid in the delivery of services, especially at the school level.
