TEACHER INDUCTION PROGRAM

               The Teacher Induction Program (TIP) is institutionalized to provide a systematic and comprehensive support system for the newly hired teachers in order to seamlessly immerse them in the teaching profession in the public school system.

At the end of the TIP, new teachers are expected to:

• demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the Department of Education—its vision, mission, goals, and strategic directions; systems and processes; school policies and procedures—and teacher rights and responsibilities;
• articulate and apply knowledge, skills, attitude, and values (KSAVs) required of teachers as specified in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) and DepEd Core Values; and
• improve practice towards career advancement based on set professional development goals.

Framework

The TIP framework comprises three components:

• The ‘Curriculum’ inducts teachers into DepEd, builds their KSAVs, and supports career advancement.
• The ‘Delivery’ provides teachers with a multi-modal delivery platform that supports the curriculum.
• The ‘Ecosystem’ enables harmonized and dynamic cooperation within linkages and resources.

The TIP components are elaborated below:

1. The curriculum supports induction and career advancement of teachers through PPST-aligned courses that:

• Promote contextualized and responsive understanding of the PPST
• Support the principles of inclusive education and self-directed learning
• Utilize scenario-based approach towards a more meaningful completion of the TIP courses

2. The delivery helps teachers towards building a community of practice via self-directed, participatory, and multiple modalities. Among the learning platforms are:

• Learning Action Cells (LAC)
• Job-embedded Learning (JEL)
• Online and print-based learning
• Coaching and mentoring
• Teacher conferences

3. The ecosystem facilitates an integrative and harmonized professional learning ecosystem for the induction of newly hired teachers.

• Strengthened linkages and harmonized resources
