DepEd Teacher Ranking Process

The Deparment of Education has clearly stated the guidelines for the hiring process under its official document issued on March 2015.

The following are the revised criteria for ranking teacher-applicants:

Education - 20 points

The score is determined by getting the General Weighted Average (GWA) of the applicant's college degree. For non-education majors, education units will be added to the undergraduate course's GWA. Masteral units/degree will also be given corresponding points.

Teaching Experience - 15 points

Certificates of employment will be the basis for this score as every year of service in a Deped-recognized school will be given 1.5 points. 

Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) / PBET Rating - 15

Prepare for an authenticated copy of your LET rating. Corresponding points will be given based on the applicant's PRC rating.

Specialized Training and Skills - 10 points

This should be supported by documents and the training should have lasted for 10 days or more.

Interview - 10 points

Usually, this is done by a panel / selection committee. Prepare for generic personal, job-related as well as situation-based questions.

Demonstration Teaching - 15 points

The teacher-applicant is given a topic to teach for a particular class period. Always anticipate to teach a large class.

Communication Skills - 15 points

The result of the applicant's English Proficiency test would be basis for this criteria.

TOTAL: 100 points

The above guidelines should assist in the efficient and reliable hiring process and minimize the padrino-system and bureaucracy issues. Unfortunately, it has also been a source of controversy for some teacher-applicants as the interpretation / application of the document's provisions tend to vary per division / officer.
