Guidelines for Classroom Observation and RPMS-PPST Tools for SY 2022-223


For SY 2022-2023, only two (2) classroom observations are required, which shall be conducted in the last two (2) quarters (one per quarter). For SY 2023- 2024 and SY 2024-2025, four (4) classroom observations are required, which shall be conducted once every quarter.

Figure 5 provides for the schedule and distribution of the identified COls that shall be observed across quarters for Proficient Teachers; while Figure 6 provides for the schedule and distribution of the identified COls that shall be observed across quarters for Highly Proficient Teachers.

The average rating of the classroom observations done across quarters shall constitute the final rating for each COI.

Additional classroom observations may be conducted for purposes of technical assistance to teachers to improve their teaching practice. However, classroom observations conducted for technical assistance purposes will not be a factor in the determination of a Ratee's performance rating. The purpose or objective of the observation shall be clearly stated prior to any scheduled classroom observation.

All classroom observations for performance evaluation purposes shall be scheduled in advance. The Ratee must be informed of the schedule at least three (3) working days before the classroom observation.

In case of unforseen circumstances and fortuitous events that are outside the control of the schools (such as natural or man-made calamities or disasters, lockdowns, etc.), concerned schools may be allowed to deviate from the prescribed timeline of conducting classroom observations; provided that requests in relation thereto shall be subject for approval of the Schools Division Superintendent; provided further, that all applicable classroom observation modes are exhausted prior to submitting the request. The default mode of classroom observation shall be in-person/face-to-face observation. In case of any national pronouncements that may affect the operations of the school (e.g. community quarantines, implementation of blended learning, etc.), the following modes of alternative classroom observation may be considered:

a. Online Synchornous Classroom Observation
b. Online Asynchronous Classroom Observation c. Classroom Observation via Learning Action Cells (LAC)
The usual protocols and procedures indicated in the 2019 DepEd RPMS
Manual for Teacher and School Heads shall apply. Annex D provides for the additional guidelines on the conduct of all classroom observation modes.
To further guide the Ratees and Raters on the conduct of the various classroom observation modes, Annex E provides for the pre-observation, observation, and post-observation processes for any mode of classroom observation.

The following RPMS-PPST Tools shall be used in SY 2022-2023, SY 2023-2024, and SY 2024-2025:
