2. What do you think is your current Career Stage? I believe my current career stage
is Proficient. I am able to effectively deliver lessons and manage my classroom, but I
still have areas to improve. I feel confident in my teaching abilities, but I know I can
continue to grow in aspects like leadership, innovation, and collaboration.

3. What do you think would support you to advance to the next Career Stage? To
advance to the Highly Proficient or Distinguished stages, I think I need to:

 Take on more leadership roles, such as mentoring newer teachers or leading


school-wide initiatives.
 Incorporate more innovative strategies into my teaching, like technology
integration or differentiated instruction.
 Continue my professional development by attending more workshops,
pursuing further studies, or earning certifications that align with my growth
goals.
 Collaborate more deeply with colleagues, parents, and the community to
strengthen the learning environment for my students.

4. What Career Stage do you aspire to ten years from now? In ten years, I aspire to
reach the Distinguished Career Stage. I want to be recognized as a leader in education,
guiding and mentoring other teachers, and making significant contributions to the
improvement of teaching practices and school culture. I hope to be involved in
curriculum development, educational leadership, and advocacy for policies that
improve learning outcomes.

5. Are there aspects of your teaching practice that exceed practices articulated in the
Career Stage 2 descriptors? If yes, please cite them. Yes, I believe there are areas
where I exceed the practices described in Career Stage 2:

 I make a concerted effort to engage my students with higher-order thinking


and real-world applications of their lessons, beyond just the basics of content
delivery.
 I use technology in creative ways to enhance learning, not just for teaching but
to help students collaborate, create, and explore independently.
 I am proactive in collaborating with my colleagues to share best practices and
plan interdisciplinary lessons, which helps strengthen our overall teaching
efforts.
6. Is it possible for a newly-hired DepEd teacher to exhibit teaching practices in
Career Stage 3 and 4? Explain your answer. I don’t think it’s very likely for a newly-
hired DepEd teacher to fully exhibit practices from Career Stage 3 and 4 right away.
These stages require significant experience and leadership, as well as a deep
understanding of teaching practices and how to influence the wider educational
community. Career Stage 3 often involves mentoring others and taking on leadership
roles in school initiatives, while Career Stage 4 involves making substantial
contributions to educational policy and practices on a larger scale. While it’s possible
for a new teacher to start showing potential in these areas, it usually takes time,
experience, and professional growth to fully reach these higher stages. However, with
the right opportunities, some newly-hired teachers may start demonstrating these
qualities earlier in their careers.

Required Task 4: Reflection

Based on the current default classification, I believe I am in the Proficient Career


Stage. After reviewing the indicators, I reflect that I meet most expectations. I
demonstrate strong content knowledge, implement diverse teaching strategies, and
maintain a positive classroom environment. However, I recognize the need to further
develop my skills in differentiating instruction for diverse learners and refining my
long-term planning. While I use assessments to track student progress, I strive to
improve feedback and ensure fairness. Additionally, I plan to engage more with the
community and seek deeper professional development to enhance my growth.

Optional Task: Reflection

The PPST and HR systems are closely linked in supporting my professional growth as
a teacher. The PPST provides a clear framework of competencies, helping me
understand the expectations for each career stage. This aligns with HR systems that
evaluate my performance, guide my career development, and inform decisions about
promotions or professional development opportunities. By aligning my growth with
PPST standards, HR systems can identify areas where I need improvement and
provide targeted support. This relationship ensures that I continuously enhance my
skills, making me a more effective educator and contributing positively to student
learning outcomes.

Required Task 2: Reflection

Reflecting on meritocracy and fitness principles in hiring and promotion, I’ve realized
how important it is to not only possess the necessary qualifications but also
demonstrate continuous professional growth, commitment, and the ability to adapt to
the evolving needs of education. Meritocracy ensures that opportunities for career
advancement are based on performance and capability, which motivates me to
constantly improve. Fitness principles, on the other hand, emphasize alignment
between my skills and the demands of the position. To adjust my professional goals, I
will focus on developing my competencies aligned with DepEd's expectations and
strive for ongoing self-improvement through training, collaboration, and reflection.

Required Activity 1: Reflection

I've learned that the PPST and RPMS, while separate, are closely connected in DepEd.
The PPST outlines the expected competencies and professional growth for teachers
across various domains. RPMS, on the other hand, is a system that evaluates teachers'
performance based on these standards. Their alignment is key, as RPMS measures
teachers' progress toward the goals set by the PPST. Together, they guide my
professional development and ensure that I meet the standards expected in teaching.

Preliminary Activity

To update my Development Plan, I will first review the feedback from the two
classroom observations I completed. I’ll analyze the strengths identified and focus on
the areas where I need to improve, such as classroom management and effective
student engagement. Next, I’ll evaluate whether I have met the objectives I set earlier
in my plan, like enhancing student participation in agriculture lessons. Based on this
review, I will adjust my goals to focus more on strategies that support diverse learners
in my classroom. Finally, I will identify relevant L&D activities to help me reach
these new goals and set deadlines for their completion.

Required Task 1: Reflection

Reflecting on my teaching performance based on my COT rating sheets, SAT


assessment results, and IPCRF-Development Plan, I have discovered both strengths
and areas for improvement. The COT ratings indicate that I am meeting most of the
expected competencies in terms of planning, implementation, and assessment, but
there are still some areas where I can further enhance my approach, particularly in
student engagement and classroom management. The SAT assessment results also
highlight my ability to adapt to the diverse learning needs of my students, though I
could focus more on differentiating instruction. Lastly, the IPCRF-Development Plan
gives me a clear direction to work on these areas and set more specific, measurable
goals.

Optional Task: Activity

In the lesson plan provided for TVE 12 - Pest Management NC II (Grade 12), Week 4,
Lesson 1, the portions that demonstrate or highlight COT Indicator 1 (which typically
refers to effective teaching strategies and classroom management) include the
following:

Reviewing Previous Lesson or Presenting the New Lesson (A):

COT Indicator 1 focuses on engaging learners and linking prior knowledge to new
content. In this lesson, the teacher begins with a pretest and a review activity,
ensuring that students' prior knowledge on insects is activated before diving into the
new lesson. This strategy allows the teacher to assess what the students already know,
providing a basis for building on their existing knowledge.

Establishing a Purpose for the Lesson (B):

The activity "What am I?" where students unscramble words that relate to insect
assessment, aligns with COT Indicator 1. It engages students actively by making them
think about and explore key concepts in the lesson, fostering their participation and
interest.

Presenting Examples (C):

The "4 Pics One Word" activity encourages students to visualize concepts and relate
them to real-life scenarios, such as insect identification. This connects with COT
Indicator 1, as it employs visual aids to deepen students' understanding and provide
concrete examples of abstract concepts.

Developing Mastery (F):

The "DRAW ME, NAME ME AND USE ME" activity directly supports COT
Indicator 1 by encouraging hands-on participation. Students actively engage in
illustrating, naming, and describing insects, which reinforces their comprehension and
mastery of the subject. It also allows the teacher to monitor students' progress and
provide timely feedback, fostering a productive learning environment.

These sections of the lesson plan emphasize the active involvement of students,
the use of visual and hands-on strategies, and ongoing engagement to ensure that the
learning process is effective, all of which align with COT Indicator 1.
Required Task 2: Activity

COT Indicators Present in My Lesson Plan:

COT Indicator 1: Demonstrating Effective Teaching Strategies

In my lesson plan, I’ve used a variety of teaching strategies, such as pretests,


problem-solving activities (e.g., "What am I?"), and visual aids (e.g., "4 Pics One
Word"). These methods engage students in different ways and activate prior
knowledge. I also have a hands-on activity, "DRAW ME, NAME ME, AND USE
ME," that encourages students to participate and interact with the content, which
helps them grasp the concepts better.

COT Indicator 2: Managing Classroom Routines and Procedures

I included a review of the previous lesson to help establish a routine and prepare
students for the new lesson. The pretest activity is structured to maintain focus and
helps me gauge students' understanding before continuing with new content.

COT Indicator 3: Assessing and Evaluating Learning

The lesson plan includes multiple assessment activities to evaluate student


understanding. These range from identifying insects through a PowerPoint
presentation to drawing and illustrating the insects and reflecting on their benefits.
These assessments give me a clear picture of how well the students are grasping the
material.

COT Indicator 4: Providing Feedback to Learners

I’ve made sure to incorporate opportunities for feedback. During activities like
"DRAW ME, NAME ME, AND USE ME," I can provide immediate feedback based
on the students' participation and accuracy. This allows me to guide students
effectively during the lesson.

RPMS Objectives Present in My Lesson Plan:

RPMS Objective 1: Content Knowledge and Pedagogy

The lesson plan demonstrates my understanding of the subject matter, focusing on


Pest Management and field assessments of insects. By preparing the students to
perform these assessments, I’m ensuring that the lesson is grounded in relevant
content knowledge.

RPMS Objective 2: Learning Environment

I’ve created a positive learning environment where students engage in various


activities like discussions, field visits, and problem-solving tasks. This helps the
students feel comfortable and supported in their learning.
RPMS Objective 3: Diversity of Learners

My lesson includes differentiated strategies to cater to different learning styles. By


using visual aids, field visits, and hands-on activities, I ensure that all students,
regardless of their learning preferences, can participate and understand the content.

Indicators Not Present:

COT Indicator 5: Establishing Positive Relationships with Learners

I realize that this indicator isn't explicitly addressed in my lesson plan. To include it, I
could add activities like icebreakers or group discussions to build a stronger
connection with my students. I could also spend more time understanding their
individual learning needs.

COT Indicator 6: Promoting and Maintaining Learner Engagement

While my lesson is engaging, I feel I could do more to maintain student interest


throughout. Adding collaborative group work and encouraging peer-to-peer
mentoring could help keep the students actively involved.

RPMS Objective 4: Assessment and Reporting

I’ve included assessments in my lesson, but I could improve how I report and track
student progress. Adding a rubric for the assessments or a more detailed feedback
mechanism would provide clarity and transparency in reporting student outcomes.
