Total of 14 PMES-PPST Objectives in SY 2024-2025
Assessing the Classroom-Observable Objectives
1 or 2 full-period classroom observations shall be required for purposes of performance management and evaluation.
Option B
Option A
Two (2) full-period classroom observations in 4th Quarter, with objectives (COI) distributed across observations
One (1) full-period classroom observation in 4th Quarter covering all objectives (COI)
Option A: 2 Full-period Classroom Observations
8
Option B: 1 Full-period Classroom Observation
Pre-Observation
Actual Observation
Post Observation
Assessing the Non-Classroom Observable Objectives
Ratees shall provide evidence and documentation of demonstration and achievement of the objectives promptly, rather than waiting for the end-of-year assessment.
Such evidence and documents are crosscutting and targeting multiple Objectives, which means that there is no need to reproduce or duplicate copies of the documents per objective.
The rater shall then assess this evidence and provide ratings using the tool appropriate to the level of the teacher.
No portfolio for performance assessment shall be collected.
Strengthening the Coaching, Mentoring and Performance Monitoring
Frequent short-period and walkthrough observations
Regular monitoring and provision of technical assistance on teaching and learning process and materials
Performance Measures
NCOI
COI
Both Quality and Efficiency shall be measured through classroom observation
Only Quality shall be measured through assessment of available MOVs.
Computation of Rating
Objective | Weight |
Objectives 1 to 14 | 7.143% each |
Total | 100% |
Computation of Rating
For repeating Objectives in the case of Option A (2 full-period COs),
the final rating shall be computed by averaging the Quality ratings
from the 2 classroom observations.
For COI

Accomplishment of the Excel-based IPCRF Tool
All ratees (teachers) shall use the official Excel-based electronic IPCRF tool in inputting IPCR data for SY 2024-2025.
Before finalizing the eIPCRF tool, the Rater and Approving Authority shall verify the ratings encoded by the Ratees.
After finalizing the eIPCRF tool, ratees shall submit it to the school head.
Note: Each teacher shall use a newly-downloaded file from the OneDrive to avoid technical errors in uploading the file.

Frequently Asked Questions and Possible Scenarios
How to determine and choose between the two classroom observation options for teachers?
The scheduling options for the classroom observation shall be agreed upon by the teacher and the rater (observer).
Determining which between the options is feasible shall be the discretion of the teacher and observer, taking into account factors such as class schedules, number of teachers to be observed, and other relevant considerations.
Given that there are Options 1 and 2 for the classroom observation, what will happen if the teacher does not meet the required COI?
Teacher rating shall get the lowest rating in the rubric level
(For example, for Proficient Teachers, lowest rating in the classroom observation is 3, while for Highly Proficient the lowest rating is 4.)
The lowest rating would mean Not observed/not met indicators in the classroom observation
The effectivity of guidelines is starting 4th Quarter. �Can teachers show MOV (e.g., minutes of consultative meeting with community stakeholders) conducted in previous quarters?
For COIs | For NCOIs |
Classroom observations shall be conducted in 4th quarter | Any MOVs across quarters shall be valid and accepted |
What are the acceptable MOVs for teachers who transferred from one school to another mid-school year?�Who validates their MOVs?
Should we submit physical or digital copies of MOVs? �Are there specific formats we should follow �(e.g., PDF, scanned copies)?
I have two newly-hired teachers assigned in our school just this January 2025, shall they be required to submit IPCRF for this SY?
Yes.
Per CSC MC 6, s. 2012, personnel who have already met the required minimum rating period of 90 days in their current position shall be required to accomplish and submit the IPCRF.
Other Questions from the Live Q&A Session
Does the reduction from 4 to 1 or 2 full period classroom observations apply to the following school years, meaning there will only be 1 or 2 full period classroom observations for the school year?
The reduction of the required classroom observations from 4 to 1 or 2 shall only be applicable in SY 2024-2025. A separate guidelines shall be issued for the next 3-year cycle of PMES for Teachers.
Is the assessment of NCOIs done during the post-con, or can the rater schedule a separate date as long as it's not during the year-end? The instructions state that NCOIs should be rated promptly.
NCOI assessment may be conducted during the post-conference or scheduled at any time within the fourth quarter, as agreed upon by the rater and ratee.
However, the assessment of lesson plan for Objective 2 (PPST Indicator 1.2.2 for Proficient Teacher) can already be completed before the actual observation, upon the teacher's submission of the lesson plan.
Are teachers on maternity leave for the entire period of 4th Quarter required to accomplish the IPCRF?
No. Teachers who are on maternity leave for the entire duration of 4th Quarter shall no longer be required to submit IPCRF.
