Q & A
What is the PPST and why is it important for teachers in the Philippines?
-The PPST stands for the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers. It serves as a framework to guide teachers in demonstrating professional accountability, defining teacher quality, and ensuring that they meet minimum professional standards. It was introduced in 2017 to align teacher competencies with educational reforms and global standards.
Why was there a shift from the NCBTS to the PPST?
-The shift from the NCBTS (National Competency-Based Teacher Standards) to the PPST was driven by significant educational reforms, including the implementation of the K-12 system, ASEAN integration, globalization, and changes in the needs and characteristics of 21st-century learners. These developments necessitated new teacher standards to ensure that educators could effectively address these changes.
What are the four key events that led to the development of the PPST?
-The four key events that influenced the development of the PPST were: 1) the K-12 Educational Reform, 2) ASEAN integration and the Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA), 3) globalization, and 4) the changing nature of 21st-century learners.
What is the role of the K-12 educational reform in shaping the PPST?
-The K-12 reform extended basic education in the Philippines from 10 years to 13 years and introduced curricular changes. This reform required a reevaluation of teacher roles, not only in instruction but also in achieving broader educational outcomes, which influenced the creation of the PPST.
How does ASEAN integration impact Philippine education and teachers?
-ASEAN integration, through frameworks like the ASEAN Qualification Reference Framework (AQRF) and the Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF), ensures that educational qualifications across ASEAN countries are mutually recognized. This requires Philippine teachers to meet international standards, contributing to the development of the PPST.
What are the key characteristics of 21st-century learners that teachers need to address?
-21st-century learners, such as Gen Z, have different learning needs and styles compared to previous generations. They require teaching that emphasizes communication, computer literacy, creativity, and career and life skills, all of which are important in developing holistic and globally competitive learners.
What are the three main goals for learners under the PPST?
-The PPST aims to produce learners who are: 1) holistic and lifelong learners, 2) steeped in values, and 3) equipped with 21st-century skills, including communication, computer literacy, creativity, and career and life skills.
What are the seven domains of the PPST?
-The seven domains of the PPST are: 1) Content Knowledge and Pedagogy, 2) Learning Environment, 3) Diversity of Learners, 4) Curriculum and Planning, 5) Assessment and Reporting, 6) Community Linkage and Professional Engagement, and 7) Personal Growth and Professional Development.
What is the significance of the 'Learning Environment' domain in the PPST?
-The 'Learning Environment' domain focuses on creating an inclusive and supportive space for students, not only in physical classrooms but also in virtual spaces. It covers classroom management, the dynamics of interaction among learners, and ensuring a conducive learning atmosphere.
How does the PPST ensure that teachers continue to grow professionally?
-The PPST emphasizes lifelong learning through the 'Personal Growth and Professional Development' domain. Teachers are encouraged to engage in continuing professional development (CPD), which includes acquiring 45 CPD units every three years to renew their licenses, ensuring they stay updated with the latest educational trends and practices.

Transcripts
hello everyone in the previous episodes
we talked about
the major component of the prof ed and
the general education of the licensure
exam for teachers
in this episode we will deepen that
i want you to understand that if you are
applying to be an lpt
then you have to prove that you
understand the standards to become a
professional teacher in the philippines
and there is a reference for that
material i'm referring to the ppst
the philippine professional standards
for teachers
professional standards of the
philippines for teachers
if you don't understand this then i bet
you don't even deserve to become a
professional teacher
all right now for this episode i will
make you understand first
the reason why there is a need for ppst
a shift from the
ncbts the national competency-based
teacher standards to the ppst
only because uh there are recent events
that happened in our in our world in our
in our country and in the whole world
and of course education should follow
the flow of these developments by the
way if you have not watched the episode
on gen ed and prophet i suggest that
right after watching this you go there
and watch it because that will give you
the details of these components of the
professional uh
education and the general education for
the licensure exam for teachers but if
you want to understand how it is to be
a professional teacher in the
philippines i'll give you the standards
by definition by the way standards refer
to the minimum
these are the standards the minimum
standards you can always go higher but
you cannot go lower than this okay and
of course the best is to subscribe in
this channel because
today in this episode we will only have
the bird's eye view of the seven domains
and for the next seven days i will give
you one domain at a time per episode
okay so that we can you know small
frequent feeding of those uh we will
understand the components that the
strands and the indicators within the
domain so that we can contextualize it
in the interest of the licensure exam
for teachers
what really led to the ppsd
there were four
major events
that happened in the world that led to
the ppsd the first one is the k-12
educational reform
all right of course you know that in
2013
there was this law 10-5 republic of
10-5-3-3
that
which is also known as the enhanced
basic education act of 2013 which
shifted our used to be 10-year basic
education to kinder to
grade 12 which makes basic education 13
years and not only that there were other
developments and other curricular
changes alignment realignment even the
outcomes uh had been realigned so that
it can uh you know innovate and it can
enhance the basic education in the
philippines and eventually can create
better
graduates of our basic education and
because of the k-12 there is a need to
also revisit the roles of teachers not
only for the subjects not only for
instructions but also for the attainment
of the educational outcome another
development was the asean
okay there is such a thing as the asean
economic community or the asean
integration and the asean refers to the
10 countries that came together to
create one region one community you know
one cooperation and if i may enumerate
the countries to you we have of course
singapore we have malaysia indonesia
thailand philippines vietnam we have
cambodia we have myanmar we have brunei
and we have laos these ten countries in
the asean have agreed to cooperate and
collaborate and education and not only
in trade but also in education and
there's a big word around this
especially printed in what you call the
asean economic community blueprint 2025
and in the asean
there is
what you call the mra the mutual
recognition arrangement
where there is an aqrf and the aqrf
stands for the asean
a qualification reference framework
which of course cascaded down to the pqf
or the philippine qualifications
framework what is that about it's about
the certain levels of education and
training attained by people in the asean
should be you know mutually recognized
from one country to another for example
a graduate of a senior high school in
the philippines will be of the same
level of uh the graduate of senior high
school in the nine other countries in
the asean including of course higher
education including graduate studies the
master's degree and the phd degrees even
tech book the technical vocational
education is also realigning based on
the aq rf the asean qualification
reference framework and the philippine
qualifications framework of course there
is also related to the asean is
globalization
okay the globalization
you know
has also put pressure on our educational
system why is that because our products
now our graduates become you know
acceptable in any parts of the world
because you know you know that the best
nurses
uh you know america for example in
europe love our nurses our engineers our
architects even our teachers so with the
opening up of the world for the
graduates and products of philippine
education we have to also realign our
curriculum and
educational outcomes and lastly there is
a noticeable change
there is a changing 21st century
learners
okay because our learners
have changed you know that from the
millennial
who are very different from the older
generation now we have the gen z's who
are really a very different kinds of
generation the different kinds of people
and they learn differently in the way we
did in the past and not only that the
learners have changed even the
competencies the 21st century skills
have changed as well now all of these
four as you may notice all of these four
led to the
evolution and the development of what
you call the ppst as a and as i said
earlier this is by virtue of the
department order number 42 series of
2000 2017.
okay now this department order uh gave
birth to the ppst and of course this is
with the blessing of the professional
regulations commission they adopted this
as the standards of course it's guided
by them i mean the board of professional
teachers and the academe and everyone
else had to follow the deb ed is there
as the consumer of the products of the
higher education that went through prc
to get the license okay now what is the
implication of the ppst you have to
appreciate that ppsd number one uh
provides the public statement of
professional accountability i repeat
that the ppsd provides for the public
statement
okay of the professional accountability
of teachers you know by the standards we
can be sure that every teacher in the
philippines
are capable of
demonstrating uh you know uh behaviors
and indicators of performances uh that
that would be the same with everyone it
creates a standard okay and number two
it defines the teacher quality it
defines for us and to us the quality of
teachers we have in this country but
what is really the purpose of uh of the
ppst it's really to come up with the
right
filipino
graduates
okay because we have to understand that
our products should have the following
the first one is of course our list they
have to be holistic learners
okay the products of our
okay holistic learners
okay that's the first one the product of
our educational system should be
holistic learners and specifically there
is a mention that they should be steeped
with values
okay they should be steeped with values
that's why you will be tested the are
you realistic learners can you develop
holistic learners among our students
among our learners number two can you
really deliver the values are they
steeped with values because if you're a
teacher
following all the standards that i'll
discuss later are you capable of
producing these kinds of graduate and of
course the last but not the least and i
think the most important is the 21st
century skills
okay so this is the vision
we want to produce
learners who are holistic learners stick
with values and carrying the 21st
century skills and as far as the 21st
century skills are concerned don't
forget the seas
okay first of all do they have the
communication skills
okay can they communicate do they have
the communication skills that's question
number one that's 21st century
communication skills and when you speak
about communication it's different from
the way we have done it in the past
because communication now is not limited
only to the exchange of my world of
meaning with your world of meaning the
sender the receiver you know that the
channel the medium and the feedback it
used to be like that but you know
communication now is connected with the
other competencies and the second of
course is the computer skills
okay the computer skills or the
information
communication and technology skills okay
as you may see uh that in our experience
in the pandemic there is really a need
for everyone including our products to
be able to demonstrate that they are
capable of using technology not only in
communicating but learning
in transacting in really trading even in
finance and all so it's the
computer skills okay another one is the
creativity
the creativity
and innovation skills
okay
creativity and innovation skills by
creativity the 21st century learners or
the 21st century citizens should be able
to create
they should be
able to come up with something and
innovate innovate is when they're able
to improve on what is already there the
entrepreneurial thinking you know the
uh the the
the skills of the 21st century where you
would look at something and you would
know how to improve that and last but
not the least of the four uh 21st
century skills is the career and life
skills the career
and life skills
okay career and life skills would
include like uh financial literacy
you know do you know do you have
multi-disciplinarity
can you cross
transdisciplinarity meaning can you
cross from one discipline to another as
a teacher of math do you also know how
to speak good english you know as a
teacher of english are you also aware of
the social sciences and that's why the
general education should be difficult
the general education should be able to
test teachers ability not only to
uh you know to teach the content that is
in there um in their uh lesson plan but
should also be able to
answer the questions that students have
even these students have access to the
google okay so i would like to summarize
all of this the ppst resulted to a
department order from the department of
education in 2017 because there are four
major forces internally and externally
internally there is a k-12 reform
educational reform there is an asean
integration
between and among 10 countries
there is globalization the windows and
the doors of all countries are opening
up to our products and lastly there is a
changing kind of learners we have in the
classroom the 21st century learners and
of course the intention of the ppst is
to make sure
that we can communicate to the public
that accountability it's a statement of
our accountability that we know what our
teachers are made of and it actually
defines the teacher quality that
our society produces out of the products
of higher education and who pass the
board exam of course the
ppst envisions that our products the
products of our educational system will
be holistic learners
they are lifelong learners don't forget
that you don't have to push them to
learn and to evolve and to transform and
develop they are self-driven
uh learners
steep with values okay that not only the
iq
and the eq is there the sq the
spirituality quotient is also there the
adversity quotient you know the
resilience is there uh not only the iq
the intellectual level steeped with
values and lastly the 21st century
skills which i summarize in the forces
that i have here the communication
skills the computer or the iet skills
the creativity and innovation skills in
the career and life skills
the ppst has seven domains
and these domains are broken down into
strands and there are 37 strands
and
each of these strands are connected to
the indicators
the behavioral indicators that will show
if the teachers have these
competencies have these
strands anchored on the domains okay so
i will present to you the ppsd
domains
and as i said
there are seven
okay the first domain all right uh is
what you call the content
knowledge and pedagogy and pedagogy
content knowledge and pedagogy
okay they pronounce that word in
different ways pedagogy pedagogy
whichever for as long as you know what
it means
okay so what's in your mind how what is
your content how is it pedagogy do you
know how to teach it that's the
challenge this is one of the major uh
domain and it will take me probably 30
minutes
and the entire board to be able to
explain the the domains the domain of
content knowledge and pedagogy and the
strands within it and the specific
content within the strands the second
one is after the teachers know what to
teach in the head and how to teach it of
course the teacher will find herself in
a learning environment
okay in the learning environment and the
learning environment is not only
referring to the physical classroom the
old classroom but it involves of course
the elements of the environment which
includes
the classmates which includes the
teacher herself and the resources around
it the interaction the dynamics
you know the the classroom management
within that learning environment and by
the way the learning environment is not
only limited to the physical classroom
because now there is the virtual space
and that's why the learning environment
becomes also a major issue in the
standards of being a professional
teacher then in that environment of
course the scent in the center of that
environment will be the diverse learners
okay the diverse learners
you know each child is unique
okay there is diversity of their needs
their aspirations their interests more
so they are diverse in who they really
are what community they come from their
economic social economic psychological
you know even their gender becomes uh
different you know
and you find special children you find
also uh you know children with special
needs the gifted children you also find
them as part of the diverse learners in
that learning environment which are
waiting for your content and your
techniques on how to teach it of course
as you all find yourself in the
classroom you are guided by the
curriculum
okay and the curriculum is that bigger
picture of what you intend to have the
child experience in that educational uh
life okay but of course curriculum is
associated with planning because the
teacher will have to reduce down that
big chunk of curriculum into planning
okay from the curriculum the teacher
will transform it into a lesson plan and
this is also a very beautiful discussion
in the next episode so you better watch
out for it and after that after the
teacher is successfully
uh you know has something in her head
and has the skill to teach it and found
herself entering the learning
environment meeting the diverse learners
and using that curriculum and the plan
so that she can translate
the lessons into activities and so on
the teacher should be able to of course
perform assessment okay perform
assessment
okay an assessment does not in the end
with assessment there has to be
reporting assessment and reporting okay
the reporting of course is not just to
give the grade but the reporting is
anchored on the improvement of the
performance of a child okay it's not
only documented for uh and recorded but
it is also communicated so that the
needs
and uh you know and the potential of the
child is identified in this assessment
and that the child evolves to be the
best person he or she can be but you
know the teacher is not limited to be in
that classroom or in that learning
environment the teacher belongs to a
community okay and that's why here you
have to understand that there is such a
thing as community linkage
okay community linkage
all right the teacher is part of a
community and that is where she engaged
herself professionally and that's why
there is professional engagement
all right so because the teacher goes
out of the classroom because the teacher
wants to connect with other stakeholders
of the educational system
you know the classroom has to be
connected with the community okay in
that community there is the barangay
there are parents there are local
government units there are general
government organizations there are
non-government organizations and the
teacher has the professional
responsibility to engage in the
community where she is actually linked
and the teacher of course wants to
improve her craft not only be a
stagnated person with so much in her
head and so good skills that she may be
able to demonstrate but the teacher
should engage in what you call personal
growth
okay and professional
development
okay personal growth and professional
development the teacher should engage
yourself as a lifelong learner in
various learning activities not only to
grow herself personally to pursue her
passion you know she wants to grow as a
person she wants to serve her church she
wants to learn
her hobbies of painting expressing
herself in the arts and so on but the
teacher also has professional
development to pursue she has to go into
to graduate study she has to perform
action research and other institutional
research which
she may be
asked to perform you know the the ppsd
domains are just so good that the
standards defined within each of each of
the domain actually resonates with the
major components of the
uh licensure exam for teachers prof ed
engine and
aspects now as i have presented it to
you and in the future episodes here i
will go to the specifics of each of
these domains the content knowledge and
pedagogy
learning environment not only the
classroom but also the virtual space
diverse learners that she celebrate and
she respects and that where she
capitalized on creating a society within
that little classroom the curriculum the
big picture of the total experience of a
child converted into a day-to-day
activities through the lesson plan from
the big goal to small objectives towards
the outcome that yeah that we have
defined right here and then the
assessment uh whether the child really
learned it and reporting it not for the
intention of a punitive action or just
making a mark or giving a mark or giving
a grade but in uh you know us aspiring
uh to make recommendations on how to
improve on that performance and of
course that
the teacher links with the community
because she's part of that community and
she is committed as a professional to
engage and she can only do that and grow
if the teacher can engage in personal
growth and professional development
that's why uh teachers after every three
years once licensed will have to engage
in
cpd the continuing professional
development and accumulate
45 units of
cpd
okay so that she can renew her license
because she has to prove that she has
grown personally and she has developed
professionally
by understanding the philippine
professional standards for teachers you
will be guided on your preparation to
take the licensure exam for teachers why
because you know the standards and all
you have to do is to make sure that you
have all of these
and that you can be instrumental to
achieve this
okay and therefore no matter the what
what other changes that may come in the
educational system you are ready because
you have the competencies of a licensed
professional teachers based on the
standards
in the next episodes i will go to each
of these domains and let's talk about
the subject areas so that your
preparation for the licensure exam for
teachers is not only through the tests
that you're answering and you're
familiarizing yourselves with
but you're doing yourselves the favor to
know really
how it is to be a teacher and how to be
a great one god bless you all keep safe
