The Validation of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST): Final Report

This Executive Summary offers the Department of Education (DepED) information and insights into the validation of the Professional Standards for Teachers (previously referred to as the Developmental-National Competency-based Teacher Standards or D-NCBTS).

The validation process was designed to gather evidence from across the Philippines that reflected the views and aspirations of classroom teachers and key education stakeholders. Significantly, the construct of professional standards was established empirically by taking into account teacher perceptions, experiences and accounts of their current and future development, and of the nature of their work.
