Helo po Admin. For SY 2022-2023. Eto bang DO 17 magagamit or ung latest na do ung DO 50 of 2016.Thank you

Hello ma’am, Ito pa rin pong DO 7 S, 2015 kasi yung DO 50 S, 2016 po is for Teaching in Schools Implementing Indigenous Peoples Education po. Though it depends po kung saan po kayo mag aapply. 🙂

Hi! Question lang po. Pwede po ba itake una ang CB-EPT kahit hindi pa ako nakapag submit ng application ko? Sinagutan ko kasi yung EPT survey last month tapos nagulat ako nakareceive ako ng EPT sched ko last week s email ko, naka schedule ngayong September 22, 2022. I’m confused now kasi di pa naman ako nakapag apply kasi kulang pa ang requirements ko, akala ko kasi survey lng yung pinasagutan. Okay lng po ba magtake ako ng EPT ngayong Sep. 22 kahit next time na ako mag apply for DepEd kapag nag hiring na ulit? Or ano po best na gawin sa case ko? Sana may makasagot po. Maraming salamat. God bless.

You can ignore the email po kung ayaw nyo pa mag take, pero kung gusto nyo po pwede nyo naman ituloy. May validity din kasi yung result ng ept so possible na baka by the time na mag aapply na kayo ay mage expire na yung ept score nyo.

Pwde na po ba mag-apply ngayon? Thanks po

Pwede po ba maretain ang ept points na 2 yrs ago na natake. Since ang sabi sa memo ang mga nasa rqa po ay pwedeng magretain ng points? Saka po kung hindi pa rin po ba nairreease ang bagong RQA this year at need n po ng new teachers dhil may item available, pwede p rin po ba silang kumuha muna ng teachers sa rqa last yr? or hhintayin po muna nila marelease ang new rqa? thanks po sana masagot.

Hello ma’am Camila, EPT result has an expiration/validity. However, it will still depend on your division. Kindly ask them or wait for their memorandum regarding this matter. They might require all applicants in the RQA to submit a letter of intent to retain their points.

Priority po ba sa item yun mga nagparetain ng points? Yun mga dating nasa rqa na hindi pa rin nabibigyan ng item tapos naabutan ng bagong ranking? Priority po ba kami dun sa mga bagong rqa?

Yung asawa ko rank 1, hindi napermanent pero yung rank 7 at 5 na permanent na

Ano pong date ng deadline sa pag pass ng application for teacher position? Salamat po sa sasagot.

Depende po yan ma’am sa DO nyo. I suggest na itanong nyo po doon. 🙂

25 Teacher Cover Letters Examples To Help You Get Hired

Your guide to a killer cover letter that will get you that interview.

Whether you are sending out resumes hoping to land your first teaching job or looking to shift to a new school or district, one fact remains the same: All the best credentials, experience, and passion will go unnoticed without a strong cover letter. The main rule? Sell yourself the way a publicist would. Cover letters aren’t a time for modesty. They’re a time to highlight your accomplishments and make your passion for teaching known. Below you’ll find our tips for creating the best cover letter possible and our top teacher cover letter and CV examples.

3 top tips for crafting a teacher CV or cover letter:

Keep it short and sweet..

You’ve only got about 30 seconds to capture a hiring director’s attention, so start with what we call “the elevator pitch.” Imagine you have the time between the elevators closing on one floor and opening again on another floor to sell yourself. Instead of rehashing everything on your resume, use the space to craft a paragraph or two that will convince them you are a standout candidate and are worth moving on to the next step.

Emphasize why you’re a great match.

Read the job description and find the overlap between the skills you bring to the table and the skills they need. If the job description calls for certain qualities or uses specific language, repeat them in your cover letter! The ultimate goal for your cover letter is to say, “You’ve got a problem? I’m the ideal person to solve it.” Be professional and use concrete examples.

Individualize!

Tailor each and every cover letter to fit the specific school, district, and job for which you’re applying. Research the school and its culture. That way, you can address their expectations and also use specific examples of achievements in your history to show why you’re the right candidate for the position.

Top teacher cover letter examples:

1. first-time teacher.

This letter is friendly and enthusiastic. It uses concrete examples and experiences related to student teaching while showcasing exactly why the applicant wants to become a teacher.

The Public School Teacher

Teach. learn. have fun, ranking for promotion to teacher iii (experience and actual portfolio).

Posted By: Teacher May 23, 2021

If you are a public school teacher in the Philippines, one of the ways to get promoted from Teacher I to Teacher III is to undergo a ranking process. For one, it’s not necessary to be a Teacher II first to be promoted to T-III. You can jump from T-I to T-III for as long as you have the necessary requirements.

For ranking, this usually happens when a Teacher III item becomes available because of a natural vacancy (e.g. When a Teacher III retires) or when new items are being opened. In the video below, I personally shared how I went through the process and got myself promoted to T-III. I’ve also shown the actual portfolio that I submitted during the process.

Note: All that was discussed in this video is based on personal experience. It may not be the same with the experience of others. To get to know about the guidelines on the ranking process, it is still best to read the DepEd Order on this.

Sample Application Letter For Teacher Without Experience

Ms. Marione Rose S. Cruz, MaIS Principal St. Monica’s College

Dear Ma’am;

A day full of peace to you!

I am writing this letter to let you know of my intent to be a part of your established institution. A good friend of mine informed me that you are looking for English teachers for the opening of the school year 2019-2020. Given my credentials, I profoundly believe that I am a potential teacher at your school.

I passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers in September 2017 right after graduating from college in March. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education major in English from La Consolacion College Manila .

In able to continue my professional growth, I just enrolled started to a graduate degree in November 2018 enrolling in the Graduate School of Polytechnic University of the Philippines. My degree of concentration is Master of Arts in Educational Management major in English.

My only experience in teaching was my internship in Jose P. Laurel National High School in Quezon City. I was able to gain more knowledge and was able to broaden my skills in teaching in the said institution. Though I don’t have years of teaching experience yet, I believe that I am ready to take the responsibilities of a teacher because we have been extensively trained during college through the series of lectures and seminars I attended.

I decided to send my application in your school after some colleagues told me that you give a bunch of opportunities to your teachers and that you are very supportive of their professional endeavors by providing professional development workshops and training in and out of the school. I also did a little research about the schools here in Marikina, and your school appears to be the best in most aspects. I believe choosing what is best can bring out the best in people like me who want to improve continuously.

I am hoping that you will give me an opportunity to have my first teaching experience in your reputed school.

Thank you for considering my application. I am waiting for your positive response.
