“The quality of an education system

cannot exceed the quality of its
teachers.”
(McKinsey and Co., 2007)
 What is Classroom Observation?
• One gauge in ensuring quality teaching
- RA 10533 (K to 12 Law)
• A process of providing feedback to a teacher’s classroom
practice
• Encourages teachers to reflect and develop self-awareness
about their own practice
• Provides evidence of actual teacher performance, their strengths
and areas of improvement
- RPMS Manual (2018)
Rationale for the Development of the Standards-
based Classroom Observation Tool

COT of K to 12
Requirement Practice Development
 The new
Classroom Observation Tool (COT)
is based on the
Philippine Professional Standards for
Teachers (PPST)
What is the Philippine Professional
Standards for Teachers (PPST)?
• Is a public statement of
professional accountability
• It has four career stages:
Beginning, Proficient,
Highly Proficient, and
Distinguished.
• It has seven Domains, 37
Strands, and 37 Indicators
for each career stage.
