Central to this process is the PMES Tool (Performance Monitoring and Evaluation System) for Teachers I-III, designed specifically for Proficient Teachers. For School Year 2024–2025, the PMES tool has been refined to better align with the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST), ensuring a fair, objective, and consistent evaluation process.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what teachers need to know:
🔍 What Is the PMES Tool?
The PMES Tool outlines objectives and performance indicators to assess the performance of Proficient Teachers. It revolves around Key Result Areas (KRAs) and emphasizes three major components for rating:
Quality (Q)
Efficiency (E)
Time (T) (for some objectives)
All ratings are based on a 5-point scale, with 5 being "Outstanding" and 1 being "Poor."
🧩 Two Types of Objectives
The PMES tool categorizes its objectives into two groups:
1. Classroom Observation Instrument (COI) Objectives
These are evaluated using Classroom Observation Tool (COT) rating sheets or inter-observer agreement forms. Observations may be done:
Onsite (face-to-face)
Through synchronous or asynchronous teaching
Via demonstration teaching during LAC sessions
Key Areas Covered:
Content knowledge across curriculum areas (Objective 1)
Use of ICT in teaching (Objective 3)
Strategies for literacy and numeracy (Objective 4)
Communication techniques (Objective 5)
Supportive learning environments (Objective 6)
Motivation and behavior strategies (Objective 7)
Inclusion of learners with disabilities or giftedness (Objective 8)
Response to learners in difficult circumstances (Objective 9)
Rating Method:
Quality: Based on the level reflected in the COT sheets (Levels 3–7)
Efficiency: Based on whether objectives were met within the allotted time
If two observations are conducted, both Quality and Efficiency are averaged and then transmuted into the final score.
2. Non-Classroom Observation Instrument (NCOI) Objectives
These are rated using documented evidence or MOVs (Means of Verification).
Key Areas Covered:
Research-based teaching practices (Objective 2)
Adaptation of learning programs (Objective 10)
Engagement with community contexts (Objective 11)
Reflective teaching based on laws and ethics (Objective 12)
Implementation of school policies (Objective 13)
Professionalism and teaching dignity (Objective 14)
Each objective requires annotated MOVs, such as lesson plans, communication letters, action plans, reflections, or reports. Quality is rated based on criteria such as depth of implementation, stakeholder engagement, and consistency.
📂 What Are MOVs?
MOVs (Means of Verification) are the core evidence teachers must provide to show they've met the objectives. These vary per objective, and annotations are usually required to demonstrate relevance and depth. Examples include:
COT rating sheets
Lesson plans or activity sheets
Communication records with stakeholders
Personal reflections or coaching notes
📊 How Many MOVs Are Needed?
At a minimum, seven MOVs are required for submission across the various objectives. Teachers are encouraged to select those that best highlight their achievements and professional growth.
✅ Final Thoughts
The PMES Tool is more than just an evaluation checklist—it’s a framework for growth. By clearly defining expectations and aligning with the PPST, it supports teachers in becoming more reflective, effective, and responsive to the needs of their learners and communities.
As we head into SY 2024–2025, being familiar with this tool empowers teachers to showcase their best practices, improve continuously, and uphold the dignity of the teaching profession.
📌 TIP for Teachers: Start gathering and organizing your MOVs early in the school year. Be intentional in planning lessons, engaging with stakeholders, and documenting your teaching practices—these will be your strongest assets in the evaluation process.
