Performance Management and Evaluation System (PMES) for Proficient Teachers (Teachers I- III) Objectives and Means of Verification


The Department of Education issued DepEd Memorandum No. 17, s. 2025 otherwise known as Interim Guidelines for the Department of Education Performance Management and Evaluation System for Teachers in the School Year 2024- 2025 as a way of ensuring streamlined, improved, simplified processes and requirements for the performance management system. 

Teachers are not required to submit a physical portfolio at the end of the school year, but they are encouraged to have their own repository of documents as means of verification or proof of demonstration of the objectives. 

The following are the PMES for Proficient Teachers (Teachers I- III) Objectives and Means of Verification. A self- made PowerPoint material as a repository is available for download.
