CLASSROOM 
  OBSERVATION TOOL
  Based on the Philippine Professional Standards 
  for Teachers (PPST)
                               The PPST-based Classroom Observation Tool was finalized 
                               in July 2019 after gathering inputs from the classroom 
                               practices of Alternative Learning System, Special Education, 
                               Indigenous Peoples Education, and Kindergarten teachers.
           The PPST-based Classroom Observation Tool was developed through the Philippine National Research Center for Teacher Quality, based at the Philippine 
           Normal University, with support from the University of New England-SiMMER National Research Centre, Bureau of Human Resource and Organizational 
                             Development, the Teacher Education Council, and the Australian Government.
