HIRING GUIDELINES FOR REMAINING DEPED TEACHER I POSITIONS

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE

Last 27 March 2015, the Department of Education (DepEd) issued DepEd Order (DO) No. 7, s. 2015 on the Hiring Guidelines for Teacher I Positions Effective School Year (SY) 2015-2016. As there are schools divisions that do not have an adequate number of qualified applicants to fill their teaching positions after having implemented the evaluation and selection process set forth in the aforementioned Order, there is a need for the issuance of additional guidelines on the hiring of teachers to ensure that our public elementary and secondary schools have sufficient, quality teachers.

To augment the need for qualified applicants in schools divisions with great teacher requirements, these hiring guidelines are hereby promulgated for the remaining Teacher I positions left unfilled after having implemented DO 7, s. 2015 effective SY 2015-2016.

COVERAGE

These Guidelines shall be used only in the event that the Schools Division Office (SDO) still has available Teacher I positions left after having implemented DO 7, s. 2015. Thus, all applicants who have passed the evaluation process set forth in DO 7, s. 2015 (i.e. those who have achieved 70 points and above) shall have been appointed and assigned to their respective stations before these Guidelines are used.

Applicants who have previously undergone the SY 2015-2016 evaluation process (per DO 7, s. 2015) but were not included in the initial Registry of Qualified Applicants (RQA) shall be covered by these guidelines. These applicants shall no longer undergo the entire evaluation process again; only a recalibration or updating of points in accordance with the modified points system set in these Guidelines shall be done.

The remaining positions shall also be open to new applicants. These applicants shall undergo the evaluation and selection process set forth in this Order.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Applicant refers to a person who holds a valid certificate of registration/professional license as a teacher from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) seeking to be appointed to a Teacher I Position.

Bona fide resident refers to an applicant who has been residing for at least six (6) months at the barangay, municipality, city or province in which the school being applied to for a teaching position is located, as evidenced by the Personal Data Sheet (CSC Form 212, Revised 2005) and a Voter’s Identification Card or any proof of residency deemed acceptable by the School Screening Committee.

An applicant who has taught as an LGU-funded teacher, Kindergarten Volunteer Teacher (KVT) or substitute teacher for at least one (1) school year in the barangay, municipality, city or province where the school being applied to for a teaching position is located shall also be considered as a bona fide resident, to be validated by a certificate of employment.

Locality refers to the barangay, municipality, city or province where the school being applied for is located.

Qualified applicant refers to an applicant who has been screened and who, therefore, meets the evaluation and selection criteria used by the Schools Division as provided for in the enclosed guidelines.

Registry of Qualified Applicants (RQA) refers to the official list of applicants who obtained an overall score of seventy (70) points and above based on the criteria set and as a result of the evaluation and selection processes.

BASIC RULES ON HIRING AND DEPLOYMENT OF TEACHER POSITIONS

Public school teachers requesting for transfer to another station are not considered new applicants and are therefore not subject to these hiring guidelines. DepEd Order No. 22, s. 2013, otherwise known as the “Revised Guidelines on the Transfer of Teachers from One Station to Another,” shall be strictly observed.

Upon a teacher’s appointment, assignment to a station, and acceptance of the position, he or she shall not be transferred to another school until after rendering at least three (3) years of service in that school.

Applicants who are not able to submit the UAN shall still be allowed to apply. The UAN shall not be treated as an eligibility requirement. Even without the UAN, applicants may still go through the evaluation process, be ranked in the Registry of Qualified Applicants (RQA), and be hired.

New applicants shall submit to the SDO or the school head of the elementary or secondary school where a teacher shortage or vacancy (regular and/or natural) exists, a written application (preferably with the UAN indicated), supported by the following documents:

Not Fully Acceptable (NFA)
1 point
Applicant’s response contained many, if not all, of the target behaviors. His/her responses indicate well-developed skills and aptitude for that competency, which would most likely lead to job success. The person’s responses are of superior quality for this job.Applicant’s response covered some of the target behaviors, but not quite at the level that would be ideal for that competency. Still, the quality of the person’s answers leads you to believe that he/she would be successful with some additional exposure and / or training.Applicant’s response contained very few of the target behaviors. Either the behaviors he/she discussed were not at, or even close to, the level indicated in the target behaviors, or the person did not give you enough information for you to have confidence that he/she has that competency at the level needed for success.

Indicators of Competencies:

I. Teaching Ability: Demonstrates an appropriate knowledge of content and pedagogy
Conveys ideas and information clearly
Provides reasonable examples of effective lesson-planning, instructional strategies, and/or student assessment

The number of points attained for each of the three (3) listed competencies (Teaching Ability, Classroom Management, School Fit) shall be added and then divided by fifteen (15). The quotient shall then be multiplied by 0.10 or 10%. The product shall then be multiplied by 100.

Example:

Sum of points attained for the three competencies = 9

[(9/15) x .10] x 100 = 6

Score for Interview = 6 / 10

Demonstration Teaching – 15 points

Applicants shall be evaluated according to the rubrics indicated on the following pages.

The number of points attained for each of the fifteen (15) listed components shall be added and then divided by sixty (60). The quotient shall then be multiplied by 0.15 or 15%. The product shall then be multiplied by 100.

Example:

Sum of points attained for the 15 components = 45

[(45 / 60 ) x 0.15] x 100 = 11.25

Score for Demonstration Teaching = 11.25 / 15

Applicants for K to 3 who will perform Demonstration Teaching using the mother tongue of the locality where the school being applied for is located shall be given an additional +5 points on top of the score they have obtained.

For applicants who may be assigned in a school located in an IP community and/or serving IP learners, the Division Selection Committee shall give due recognition to an applicant’s knowledge and skill in integrating indigenous knowledge, culture, and skills into the teaching-learning process (as demonstrated in the above aspects).

The total percentage score obtained by an applicant shall be multiplied by the weight of fifteen (15) points, as follows:

Percentage Score = 98% or 0.98

Weighted Points = 15

Rating = .98 x 15 = 14.7 points

CONSTITUTING AND UTILIZING THE REGISTRY OF QUALIFIED APPLICANTS (RQA)

The RQA is the list of qualified applicants for appointment, which shall include their names, permanent addresses, and final evaluation ratings.

It shall be used in filling-up the remaining teacher vacancies only after having implemented DO 7, s. 2015 and there are still vacant Teacher I positions left.

The RQAs should be ready by the last week of June 2015 so that qualified applicants may be appointed by 01 July 2015.

As a general rule, only applicants listed in the RQA are eligible for hiring and appointment, with priority given to bona fide residents of the barangay, municipality, city, or province (in the order as aforestated) where the school is located.

In cases where the number of qualified applicants from the barangay is greater than the number of available Teacher I items, priority in hiring shall be given to applicants from the barangay according to their overall rating (number score) in the RQA, from highest to lowest.

  1. Hi, I already have an assignment order however I decided not to proceed because of the high risk at the place. May I know what are my options?

  2. Ask ko lng po kung after sa posting ng RQA at nakasali ka sa list, kailangan talagang maghintay ng tawag o pwedeng ikaw na mismo ang pumunta sa school na pinag-applyan mo to inform them that you passed the RQA?

    • Good Evening! I just wanted to know kung paanu kino-compute ang score sa Performance rating po? I applied for HT3 and I got 20points. I just wanted to know how and where did I get that corresponding points po…

      Furthermore, I also wanted to ask if there should be a cut-off points for HT3 ranking? if yes, what is the cut-off score? I also wanted to ask if in case no applicants have met the cut-off score, what will happen next?

      Thank you for your immediate response!

      • Hi Ms. Angel, ang makaka sagot lang po sa tanong niyo ay yung mismong Division office na pinag applyan niyo. Pag may website ang DO i-check mo lang palagi yung mga issuances na nilalabas nila. 🙂

  8. Hi – I would like to confirm if the applicant has already passed a board exam (not LET/PBET), should he still needed to take the LET/PBET after getting 18 units of Education course?

  9. yes. the guidelines has been followed.. but then in our case.. in which one of the applicant is our classmate.. same time we were having our ranking.. told us tha she was the one who solved the applicants points earned in ranikng before the final submission in the division office.. is it Justifiable?

  15. Good day po, thank you sa website na to na sa umpisa pa lang ito yung nakatulung sa mga tanung ko….

    may tanung lang po ako regarding sa ranking especially po nito:

    Teaching experience of kindergarten volunteer teachers (KVT) and LGU-funded teachers shall merit additional points on top of the score they obtain from the above points system, as follows:

    Less than 1 year experience = +1 point
    1 to less than 3 years experience = +2 points
    3 or more years experience = +3 points

    di ba pag sinabing LGU are teachers na nagturo thru municipal payroll? tama po ba ako mam? kasi bakit po sa amin hindi po sinama ang tchng exp. ko sa LGU dhil di na daw po kasama tlaga ang LGU….pls i need help po sa may alam…

    thank you po…

    Reply
    • meron po b kayo certificate that you teach as sponsored by LGU, tapos na credit ba ito sa DEPED kung oo dapat isinali nila. yon po ang pagka alam ko ty

      • a blessed night po…thank you from your reply sir Marcos…yes I have a certificate po… but during the ranking po sinabi na may moratorium daw po sa aming div na ihinto muna ang LGU funded..by start ng june d pa nman cnbi na ganun…during the ranking na mismo…

        Reply
      • Good day po. ask ko din po yung situation ko.. nag apply po ako as volunteer sa highschool malapit sa amin. pero hindi po ako LGU funded.. as in absolute volunteer po talaga without any compensation.. my additional point po ba yun?? thanks po.. GBU

    • basta meron po kayong MOA between sa school na nagrender kau ng service nyo at assignment order ng SDS nyo po kasama po yan sa pts. sa teaching experience nyo po…

    ibig po sbhin ba nito if u were municipal contractual or labor payroll teacher then it includes u sa guidelines na madagdagan ang points? kasi po dito sa amin bakit di sinama ang tchng exp ng LGU funded?

    alhamdulillah… insha Allah magrerank pa ulit sa amin at maksali… tumaas ang equivalent ng TOR…

    • dipende rin po kasi sa need ng school kung bakit di ka na tawag. ganun rin kasi sa akin, rank 1 pero hindi tinawag kasi di ako pasok sa currently needed(combination of skills and education kasi) hehehehe. patience is a virtue.
