Naugsol Integrated School successfully concluded its two-session Learning Action Cell (LAC) entitled "Preparing Teachers for Performance Management, Career Progression, and Professional Growth," held on July 24 and 31, 2026. This meaningful professional development initiative provided teachers with valuable insights into the Performance Management and Evaluation System (PMES) and the Expanded Career Progression (ECP) System, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to strengthen their professional portfolios and prepare for future career advancement.
The first session officially commenced with the warm facilitation of Ma'am Edlin and Ma'am Emily, setting a positive and collaborative atmosphere for learning. Participants were then guided through an in-depth orientation on the Performance Management and Evaluation System (PMES) and the PMES Portfolio, including its purpose, structure, components, and the required Means of Verification (MOVs), by Dr. Arianne Mae, together with Ma'am Veronica. Their comprehensive discussion was followed by a hands-on workshop on organizing PMES documents and portfolios, enabling participants to apply their learning through guided collaboration and practical exercises.
The second session began with a Message of Learning (MOL), followed by an insightful discussion from Dr. Joan Lat Garcia, Principal I, who shared important updates on the Expanded Career Progression (ECP) System. She emphasized DepEd's commitment to recognizing teachers' competencies and providing clear pathways for professional growth and career advancement. This was followed by a comprehensive presentation on the Classroom Observable Indicators (COI), Non-Classroom Observable Indicators (NCOI), Means of Verification (MOVs), and Portfolio Annotations , facilitated by Sir Jordan, together with Dr. Arianne Mae. Through practical examples, clear explanations, and valuable portfolio preparation strategies, they empowered participants to confidently organize documentary evidence in alignment with the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST).
