TERMS OF REFERENCE
Procurement of Consultancy Services for the Coaching and Professional Development Program for TEACEP
The Department of Education (DepEd) has consistently pursued teacher quality reforms through several initiatives, including a recent cornerstone reform the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) through the DepEd Order 42, 2017. PPST is used as a basis for all learning and development programs for teachers to ensure that they are properly equipped to effectively implement the K-12 program.
In 2017, DepEd, through National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP), was granted accreditation by the Professional Regulation Commission as a provider of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for teachers. In 2019, DepEd put forward a new reform plan to transform the NEAP organization and professional development programs. According to its new role, NEAP is given the overall responsibility for the design, development, and delivery of professional development for teachers, school leaders and other teaching related personnel. It is also responsible for maintaining training standards and the quality of training delivery.
The Teacher Effectiveness and Competencies Enhancement Project (TEACEP) will support the government’s priority teacher reforms, focusing on enhancing teaching quality for literacy, numeracy, and socioemotional skills for kindergarten to grade 6, and ultimately to improve reading and math learning outcomes among elementary students in selected regions in Mindanao. The Project will also support DepEd in rolling out PPST as well as Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH) and Philippine Professional Standards for Supervisors (PPSS)—which guide NEAP in defining and designing professional development programs—and pursuing the implementation of the NEAP Transformation Plan.
TEACEP, through this engagement, supports professional development activities for teachers, master teachers, school heads, and supervisors from the regional and (SDO) of Regions IX, XII, and BARMM in enhancing/ strengthening reading/literacy and mathematics/numeracy skills.
This engagement will contribute to the enhancement in the implementation of professional development programs and practices, particularly in the following areas: (i) instructional coaching at the school level; (ii) conduct of learning action cells (LAC) at the school level; (iii) instructional leadership of master teachers, school heads and supervisors from schools division and regional offices; (iv) in-service training of K-to-6 teachers.
The contracted learning service provider (LSP) is expected to submit an inception report after receiving the Notice to Proceed. Generally, LSP will bring technical expertise and project management, and work closely with NEAP to ensure that the outputs of this engagement for regions IX, XII, and BARMM are produced, and the agreed approach and activities are successfully carried out and aligned to the requirements indicated in the Project Operation Manual (POM)
The scope of work and expected outputs for this engagement are clustered into seven major components in accordance and outline in the POM

Coaching and Mentoring Implementation Plan |
This component will develop an enhanced coaching program for Kindergarten to Grade 6 teachers that will ensure more formal, consistent, and effective practices in coaching on enhancing/ strengthening reading/literacy and mathematics/numeracy skills. It will give focus on: (i) ensuring adequate time allocation for the coaching process, (ii) defining clear roles and responsibilities for coaches; (iii) effective training of the coach; (iv) clear linkages to Career Progression[1] for both coaches and teachers; and (v) clear outputs and outcomes to be achieved by teachers through the coaching process. The model principles for effective coaching will be needs-based, differentiated, context-specific, and targeted.
This coaching program will give special focus on competencies and skills needed to teach literacy and numeracy. Associated with Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) and Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH)[JA1] , master teachers and school heads will take on a more defined role related to coaching and mentoring. This is complemented by the initiative of the Bureau of Human Resources and Development (BHROD) in drafting policies on master teacher workload that will help ensure that coaches will have dedicated time for coaching.
Since reading and mathematics teaching practices will form the core of coaching and other professional development activities, initial focus will be on teaching the five components of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension) and the core components of numeracy (numbers, counting, shape, space and measures, and operations and calculations). The coaching will include core elements that will be applicable across grades, but also grade-specific elements. There will be general groupings of grades K-3 and grades 4-6, along with more targeted aspects by grade.
Following intensive trainings, certified coaches will carry out at least monthly coaching sessions[2] with teachers using targeted activities in the instruction of literacy and numeracy[3], as well as how to foster socioemotional skills[4] in young students and teaching learners from indigenous groups.[5] During the coaching sessions, coaches will perform demonstrations, conduct lesson observations utilizing classroom observation tools, followed by feedback, introduce new teaching and assessment techniques, and have discussions where teachers can ask questions, raise issues, and set goals.
The component activities will include the following:
A program design and structure for how coaching and mentoring of teachers will be delivered at the school level will be developed.
Coaching and mentoring, while both essential to professional development, differ in purpose, structure, and approach. Coaching is typically a short-term, performance-driven process that focuses on improving specific skills, closing performance gaps, and achieving clearly defined goals within a set timeframe. It is structured and goal-oriented, often involving regular sessions between the coach and the coaches, where feedback plays a central role. Coaches use open-ended, thought-provoking questions to help individuals identify their own solutions and promote self-directed learning (Academy to Innovate HR, n.d.; Department of Education, n.d.-a).
In contrast, mentoring is a longer-term, development-focused relationship in which a more experienced individual provides guidance, shares expertise, and supports the personal and professional growth of a less experienced mentee. It is less formal than coaching and tends to be mentee-driven, with meetings scheduled as needed. The mentor often shares personal experiences and advice to help the mentee navigate career transitions and develop competencies over time (Department of Education, n.d.-b; Parsloe & Leedham, 2003).
While both coaching and mentoring involve communication, trust, and support, coaching emphasizes performance improvement through structured processes and self-reflection, whereas mentoring centers on long-term growth through experience-sharing and relationship-building (Whitmore, 2002; Academy to Innovate HR, n.d.).
This design document will include among others the following:
The program design must also consider the complementation between and among coaching and mentoring and other professional development activities such as learning action cells (LAC) and other forms of in-service training, and such complementation must be reflected in the manner, scope, and strategy of this coaching program.
The process for developing this program design must consider alignment of existing coaching policies and practices within the Department and as prescribed or advocated by oversight agencies like the Civil Service Commission (CSC). A rapid assessment of coaching activities is in order to take stock on practices that are working for which the design can build on.
The coaching program design (as discussed above) will be translated into tools, templates, and metrics to be used in implementing coaching as designed. This coaching toolkit will be user-specific, modular, practical, easy to use, and is consistent with the coaching principles, framework, and quality and standards set out in the coaching program design.
The coaching toolkit will include, but will not be limited to, the following:
Teachers will be evaluated via classroom observation, capturing practices that teachers have been taught related to teaching literacy and numeracy. As part of the project activities, the DepEd will provide technical assistance to the contracted LSP in the development a hybrid Classroom Observation Tool (COT) based on DepEd COT and the World Bank TEACH[6] to assess teachers" effectiveness in teaching literacy and numeracy.
Trainers will be selected from NEAP, teacher training institutions, DepEd regional and division offices among others and trained during the school year and will be trained to improve both their coaching and mentoring skills and their knowledge on identified subject matter.
These trainers must be prepared to implement an initial two-week (10 days) accreditation training for potential coaches who will be selected from master teachers, school heads, and where appropriate, high potential Teachers Upon successful completion of the initial training, the trainees will be certified as coaches.
This will include the training package which the trainers will be using when they implement the accreditation training for potential coaches from the three regions covered under this project. The structured training package will include outline of modules, content of each module, time allocation for each module, workplace application, and a plan for assessing content knowledge and training skills during and at the end of training
As the trained coaches become trainers themselves and implement the training on coaching to the target master teachers in Regions IX and XII as laid out in their Coaches and Mentors Certification Implementation Plan, the LSP experts will observe, guide and assist them in their first 4 batches of training.
Note that for this particular training, the LSP will provide the resource persons from their team of experts but the cost for the conduct of activity will be covered by DepEd. LSP must explore the option of delivering this training using online, face-to-face, or blended modalities.

LAC Implementation Plan |
Teacher collaboration through groups and networks has proven to be a particularly effective mechanism of professional development.[7] The DepEd Learning Action Cell (LAC) sessions use this methodology for teacher professional development at the school level. The LAC sessions allow for teachers to periodically meet throughout the year and collaborate with one another. Currently, there are 28 LAC sessions for teachers in grades K-3 that focus on specific concepts for teaching literacy and numeracy. However, there may be a need to develop additional LAC sessions related to the coaching programs that will be developed with project support. This component will: (i) support development of new LAC sessions needed to augment the current 28 LAC sessions[8] with the development of activities and self-study materials that are closely aligned to the coaching that strengthens knowledge and skills related to teaching literacy, numeracy, and socioemotional skills; and (ii) develop new LAC sessions for grades 4-6 specifically related to teaching reading, mathematics, and socioemotional skills. These modules will also provide greater depth of understanding and will include practical activities that teachers can utilize in the classroom to reinforce their application.
The LAC sessions will involve some theory but will be mainly practical. It will include specific tasks such as: (i) how to run the lessons; (ii) how to assess children’s reading and numeracy skill or foster their socioemotional skills; (iii) how to adapt teaching and pace of material given how rapidly children are progressing; (iv) how to solve problems; (v) sharing ideas/learnings problems with other teachers; (vi) how to assess student learning through summative assessments or any existing DepEd issued tool as well as formative assessments; and (vii) role playing. A library of these modules will be developed for selective use by teachers based on their needs. Coaches will be able to assign specific modules to teachers to address individual teacher needs. The modules will be made available on DepEd’s existing Learning Portal for ease of access through conversion or digitalization of the modules.
The LAC package will include the following:
In developing the LAC packages, it is expected that an inventory of existing LAC modules will be conducted to make sure that these modules are not duplicated and their use is optimized. Furthermore, content and field validation will also be conducted where the LAC modules will be presented to DepEd representatives and feedback will be collected to guide the enhancement and revision of the LAC modules. The final output of the LAC package must come in inclusive and accessible format (file format for low vision and print disabilities), in electronic copy and ready for print.
A training of trainers will be conducted to be participated in by master teachers who will serve as trainers of LAC facilitators at the school level. Training of trainers will focus on enhancing both methodology in conducting LAC and content on teaching literacy, numeracy and socio-emotional skills of learners. LSP must explore the option of delivering this TOT using online, face-to-face, or blended modalities.
The LAC Learning Package will be complemented with a LAC Implementation Plan to be consulted to NEAP and DepEd Regional Offices to cover the following targets:

Instructional Leadership Training Plan |
School heads play a critical role in the quality of instruction in classrooms. Research points to the potential impact on improved student learning when school leaders are trained on how to support teachers. In some cases where principals were equipped with the right “management” skills (that is, to be able to guide teachers with instructional planning activities, support changes to instructional practices based on student assessment data and observe classes and provide structured feedback to teachers), student achievement increased significantly[9].
Instructional supervision provided by school heads to the teachers is complemented by the support and expertise that supervisors at the division and regional offices give. While the Education Program Supervisors are content specialists, the Public Schools District Supervisors are responsible that instructional support (i.e. learning materials, etc) are provided throughout the schools. Together, the roles of these leaders are vital in creating a nurturing teaching and learning environment for both teachers and learners.
Two sets of training packages will be developed for these instructional leaders: (1) for school heads, (2) for supervisors. These training packages will address the critical competencies – both leadership and technical – that are essential in performing their instructional leadership role. The package will include a specific topic that will facilitate development of a system and accompanying plan to be implemented at the school level to identify at-risk learners and take measure to mitigate dropouts, especially among boys. This plan will be among the outputs that participants are expected to produce at the end of the training, and will subsequently be implemented at their respective schools.
In developing these training packages, the following considerations must be taken into account:
Together, they help ensure that effective instructional supervision and support are provided to teachers. A separate training package will be developed to enhance the specific competencies that are required in this role and to facilitate a collaborative working environment across these three levels of education governance.
A group of school heads, supervisors, superintendents and regional leaders will be tapped as trainers and resource persons in delivering the training to the target cohort. To prepare them for this role, a training of trainers will be conducted by the LSP. Note that while the LSP will prepare the TOT design and package and tap into their team experts as resource persons, DepEd will cover the cost for participants’ room and board, materials, and transportation.
The training packages will be accompanied with an Instructional Leadership Training Plan consulted o NEAP and DepEd Regional Offices to cover TEACEP target: in 2026, at least 60% of school heads and supervisors in each region are trained on management and instructional leadership with focus on literacy and numeracy.

In 2024, NEAP delivered the training titled Orientation and Training for Teachers and School Leaders on Developing/Strengthening Learners’ Literacy/Reading and Numeracy/Mathematics for Key Stage 1 teachers and school leaders. It capacitated the participants to improve instructional practices in teaching literacy and numeracy skills.
Part of the contracted LSP’s deliverable is to enhance the teacher training package for K to 3 and will use the feedback gathered from the implementation as among the bases for enhancing the materials.
Similarly, a training package for Grades 4-6 teachers focusing on literacy, numeracy and socio-emotional skills will be developed and implemented by the contracted LSP. In developing this training package, the following must be considered:
High performing supervisors, school heads, master teachers from Regions 9, 12 and BARMM will be tapped to constitute the pool of trainers who will cascade the training to Grades 4-6 teachers in the region. During the TOT, the contracted LSP will provide learning facilitators and subject matter experts who will serve as resource persons in various topics and sessions. DepEd will cover the cost for participants’ room and board, materials, and transportation. The LSP will work with NEAP and the DepEd Regional Offices to develop training plans for each of the three regions.
The two sets of teacher training packages must come in inclusive and accessible format (file format for low vision and print disabilities), in electronic copy and ready for print.

The contracted LSP will engage a Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) expert and environmental expert to ensure that inclusion standards and principles are integrated and observed in the entire duration of project implementation. The LSP’s proposal must detail its strategies on how it will integrate inclusion and environment standards and practices in the design, implementation, and outputs of the project.
Under this component the following are expected to be provided:
Component 7: Development and Contextualization of the Coaching and Training Package for BARMM-MBHTE
During the development, the firm shall consider the requirements such as Bangsamoro Teachers Professional and Moral Development (BTPMD) Standards, Bangsamoro Education Code, Bangsamoro Organic Law, and among others as mentioned in the POM. Further, the LSP will engage a local consulting service with expertise in the BARMM context. The LSP also expected to contextualize the developed training and coaching package to reflect the specific nuances of BARMM-MBHTE for effective cascading.
The contracted LSP is expected to design and develop a technology-aided monitoring mechanism that will facilitate collection, reporting, and consolidation of data and other document requirements related to the project implementation. The data requirements will be aligned with the requirements of the independent verification process.
The contracted LSP is also expected to conduct an impact evaluation of the outputs and their implementation. This will be the basis for the sustainability of the projects and improvement of related programs of NEAP.
Component 9: Terminal Report
The contracted LSP is expected to submit a Terminal Report before the end of Q4 of 2027, summarizing the CPDP. The report should outline the program’s objectives, evaluating its effectiveness in enhancing coaching skills, instructional practices, and professional growth. It must detail activities conducted, including training sessions, workshops, mentoring and coaching engagements.
The accomplishments section should present measurable outcomes, such as skill improvements, assessment results, and participation feedback. The report must also address challenges faced, including resource constraints, engagement issues, and implementation barriers, along with mitigation strategies.
Lastly, the lesson learned should highlight best practices, areas improvement, and recommendations for future program enhancements. The report should be structure, evidence based, and actionable to support continuous professional development efforts.
The following are the considerations of DepEd in the selection of the service provider:
At the minimum, the project team will be composed of at least 14 team members of various expertise. Depending on the LSP’s proposed approach and strategies, additional team members may be added.
