A. Analyze the national and regional/division context for the SPPD
1. Group participants into 4 clusters. Grouping takes into consideration that School
Heads and ES/PSDS in charge of the school belong to the same group,
participants from the elementary school level can be grouped into two if the
group is big, and that secondary school participants should be in the same group.
Each group is assigned to simulate a group of subject area teachers.
2. Each group will choose a chair to facilitate the sharing of their personal
experiences related to their professional development in a brainstorming activity.
The rapporteur of each group takes down important points shared relative to
professional development.
3. Instruct the participants to answer the following questions individually using
the meta strips of four different colors
What do you think is the national goal/thrust for professional development?
How do you demonstrate transformational leadership and high degree of
professionalism in providing access to quality and relevant education for all?
What is the goal/thrust for human resource in the division/region?
What is the goal/thrust for human resource in the school?
4. Have each group post their responses on designated spaces and have a
representative to report the group output.
5. Process the output to connect it to the context of SPPD by segregating the
common responses of each group, post them according to their levels (national,
region/division, school), and summarize the information. Explain to the
participants that this is intended for the first section of the SPPD Template.
B. Analysis of data on student performance and needs assessment results

Meaning and Purpose of a MPPD
What is Professional Development?
Professional development is the process of improving the competencies and work performance of personnel
through the provision of a wide range of opportunities for personal and professional growth in knowledge,
skills and attitudes. Professional development focuses on improving the competencies of personnel in line
with their mandated roles and responsibilities in order for them to achieve expected standards.
To bring about real change in peoples level of competency, it is essential that a systematic and continuous
approach is adopted in the provision of professional development. It is important that professional
development opportunities are provided for all and that strong leadership provided to support and assist
people to participate in these opportunities.
One way of providing leadership and a systematic approach to the provision of professional development is
through the development of Master Plans for Professional Development (MPPD). MPPDs can be developed
at both the region and division level ensuring that the professional development needs of all teaching and
non-teaching personnel at these levels are addressed
What is a Master Plan for Professional Development?
The word Master connotes something intended to operate on the broadest level and having control or
influence of the operation of everything or of all others, events or other things. As the term suggests, a
Master Plan for Professional Development (MPPD) is the major blueprint that directs and influences all
activities related to professional development that need to be conducted for identified target personnel
over a given period of time.
The MPPD sets out the region or divisions overall professional development goal and identifies a series of
objectives to support its achievement. The MPPD goal is based on a review of data that identifies the
training needs of the various personnel groups as well as national and regional priorities and thrusts.
Prioritized programs, which address specific competencies, are described in the MPPD and outcomes are set
to identify what is to be expected when a program has been successfully completed. A timeframe for the
completion of the different programs is also established along with a budget estimate.
The MPPD specifically focuses on the provision of professional development to the various personnel groups
and provides the necessary details e.g. objectives, competencies, program content, processes, and
budgetary requirements, required for implementation. Identifying the specific resources needed for
implementation and the strategy or mechanism to secure the funds necessary are major processes of the
MPPD as it ensures that professional development programs can be delivered.
The equivalent to the MPPD at the school level is the School Plan for Professional Development (SPPD) and
is developed following parallel steps as the MPPD for Region and Division are accomplished. The MPPD
Guide and Tools outlines the standards, processes and M&E tools for use in the implementation of the MPPD
component of the PDP System.
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 3 The PD Planning System 111
What is the purpose of accomplishing the MPPD?
The MPPD is accomplished to enable a region or division to plan and prioritize their professional
development activities over a period. It allows them in systematically addressing the professional
development needs of their various personnel groups and to ensure that all personnel are provided with
ongoing opportunities to progressively develop higher levels of expertise.
The MPPD identifies the specific details of the professional development activities, which will take place to
achieve the development goals for the Region/Division. It serves as the major guide for professional
activities for a three- year period, with a certain degree of flexibility and is reviewed annually. The planning is
in conjunction with the accomplishment and regular review of the Regional/Division Education Development
Plan (REDP/DEDP), done every six years with a mid-term review.
Whose professional development needs are addressed by the MPPD?
The MPPD is developed to address the professional development needs of all teaching and non-teaching
personnel who are the responsibility of the region or the division. The specific personnel groups covered by
an MPPD at the various levels would include:
- Regional level: Regional Education Leaders (Chiefs/Assistant Chiefs of different functional
divisions/sections ), ES II, ESI ( from across the divisions who have common needs),
Regional/Division Trainers, Regional Office Non-teaching personnel
- Division Level: ES I, PSDS, School Heads (Head Teacher, Principal, TIC), Teachers (with common needs
from elementary, secondary, ALS), Division Office Non-teaching personnel, School/Cluster Trainers
Guiding Principles
Guiding Principles in developing the MPPD
Professional development plans and programs focus on improved student learning and consider the
development priorities of the school, division, region and central office.
All personnel groups are provided with opportunities to participate in ongoing and continuous
professional development in order to increase their current level of competency.
Effective strategies are utilized to increase participation and involvement of education personnel in
professional learning
Professional development plans are the result of a collaborative process with representation from all
concerned.
Professional development is formative, cyclical, and accurately collects and analyzes data to improve
future activities.
The MPPD efforts at the central, regional, division and school levels provide a unified approach to
professional development
The MPPD, while outlining the professional development plans for a period, is flexible enough to
incorporate emerging priorities.
MPPD Guide and Tools
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 3 The PD Planning System 112
Roles and Responsibilities at the Region and Division Levels
The accomplishment of the MPPD requires a collaborative approach. To ensure ownership and commitment
to the MPPD it will be necessary for people to work together and actively contribute to its development.
Under the leadership of the T&D Chief/Chair, a working group (PDP-WG) will be formed to oversee the
MPPD process at the Region/Division level. The Region PDP-WG will be responsible for facilitating key
regional personnel in the accomplishment of the MPPD. They will also have a role in orienting Division PDP-
WGs on the MPPD process to be completed at the division level. It is suggested that the Division MPPD is
accomplished prior to the completion of the Regional MPPD. In this way, the Division MPPDs can inform the
prioritization of needs in the Regions MPPD.
The procedures for the accomplishment of the MPPD are identified and are set out in Steps for
Accomplishing a Master Plan for Professional Development. In general, the process involves
representatives from the different personnel groups and key stakeholders working collaboratively to identify
the regions overall professional development goal for the period covered by the plan.
The suggested composition of the Regional team responsible for the accomplishment of the plan include the
RD/ARD/NEAP-R Executive Director, T&D Chief, Chiefs/Assistant Chiefs, personnel recipients represented by
ES 2 (representing different functional divisions/sections), SDS/ASDS/Division T&D Chairs.
The Regional T&D is responsible for orienting the Division Team on the MPPD. The guide is outlined in the
next section related to the Orientation for Divisions of the MPPD Process. Representatives from all Divisions
T&D are invited to a central location for the orientation. The procedures for supporting the accomplishment
of the Division MPPD are discussed by the Regional PDP-WG.
The process for accomplishing the MPPD at the Division level is the same as that at the regional level. The
suggested composition of the Division team responsible for the accomplishment of the plan includes:
SDS/ASDS, Division T&D Chair, ES I (representing the different functional units) Administrative
Officer, PSDS, Teacher Representative, Principal Representative, Medical Officer, HRM Officer,
Planning Officer, Budget Officer, Division T&D WG Members
The Division PDPWG is responsible for ensuring that the ASDS, ES1/PSDS are prepared to orient School
Heads and their PDP-WG within their respective districts/ clusters on the accomplishment of the School Plan
for Professional Development (SPPD).
The structural process flow below outlines the roles and responsibilities of those involved in the
development of the MPPD at the various levels.

Steps for Accomplishing the Master Plan for Professional Development
The MPPD Template is a tool for the completion of the MPPD and is included as part of this MPPD Guide. An
electronic version of the MPPD Template is also available. Planners are encouraged to use the electronic
template for the MPPD as it is a more efficient guide in encoding the information needed to complete the
MPPD. The final copy of the MPPD that is submitted for approval should be developed electronically as much
as possible.
Samples of accomplished MPPDs may be accessed for use by PDP-WGs through the TDIS which is an element
of the Enhanced Basic Education Information System (EBEIS) at http://beis.deped.gov.ph/. It Is necessary to
decide on the strategy for the accomplishment of the MPPD and how this may best be facilitated. Possible
options include conducting a two to three-day Planning Workshop for Professional Development, the main
objective being to accomplish the MPPD for the Region/Division.
It is also advisable to identify the Region/Division Officials who will facilitate the sessions for the completion
of the MPPD using the suggested Session Guide. The following steps for accomplishing the MPPD will guide
the Session Facilitators with the support of the PDP-WG.
Resources should be reviewed prior to the accomplishment of the MPPD to ensure that all necessary
documents required to support the development of the MPPD have been located and are available for use.

Understanding the MPPD and its purpose
Before accomplishing the MPPD it is important to have a clear understanding of the purpose of the MPPD
and to identify the personnel groups who will be covered by the MPPD.
1. Elicit the need for continuing professional development for all personnel in the
organization to help address the changing demands and for better student learning and
improved school performance.
2. Present the objective of the MPPD and explain the meaning of Professional Development
and MPPD, its purpose and the guiding principles. (Refer to the first page of the Guide).
3. Explain that the accomplishment of the Master Plan for Professional Development is the joint
responsibility of all stakeholders and personnel groups who will be affected by the plan.
Start the Completion of the MPPD
Analyze the national and regional/division context for the MPPD: It is essential to have an
understanding of the national reform agenda and analyze its thrust for human resource
development in the context of School-Based Management requirements and the NCBTS demands
for effective teaching. Additionally, the Region and Division development priorities for human
resource development will also be important to analyze as they give significant directions for
capability-building efforts. The following documents are necessary inputs to the context for human
resource development:
1. Recall the essential directions for human resource development contained in the following
documents:
o Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA) Program Implementation Plan
o National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) framework rationale and
context
o SBM Framework and NCBS-SH
o Other documents related to Human Resource Development
2. As a result of the analysis, list down key phrases which summarize the national goals and
thrusts and the Regions/Divisions priorities related to Human Resource Development
Key Phrases summarizing conditions relating to Human
Resource Development based on data analyzed

3. Develop a narrative based on the analysis above and write this in Section 1a of the MPPD.
MPPD Guide and Tools
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 3 The PD Planning System 116
Analyze the data on student performance and needs assessment results:
1. In order to plan programs relevant in addressing the learners and organizational development
needs, it is important to provide data-based information that will guide the development of
plans and programs for capability-enhancement.
2. Data relating to student learning performance are available from a range of sources. It is
recommended that as a minimum, the following documents should be considered:
a. NAT results: Study the Mean Percentage Score (MPS) data by subject area and by
grade/year level and identify which sets of data represent the Region/Division
strength and priority needs of the learners.
- No. of pupils who reached Grade 4 who mastered learning competencies at levels (by
subject area)
- No. of pupils who reached Grade 4 with unmastered learning competencies at levels
(by subject area) -
b. PHIL-IRI Assessment Results : Study the data on the following:
- No. of students by level of reading comprehension( frustration, instructional,

3. Training and development needs assessment results are available from a range of sources and it
is recommended that as a minimum, the following documents should be considered:
o For the Region MPPD: (1) Organizational TDNA Results of the Region (2) Organizational TDNA
results of the Divisions, (3) TDNA results for non-teaching personnel (admin staff)
o For the Division MPPD:(1) Consolidated TDNASH Results, (2)Consolidated NCBTS-TSNA

Formulate the MPPD GOAL
1. Using the data gathered from the analysis, formulate the overall goal for the MPPD, which
captures the current directions and development goals of the Region/Division, keeping in
mind the priority learning needs of the students and the development needs related to human
resource development.
2. See the example below.
Overall Goal for Professional Development:
In line with BESRAs thrust in improving school and learners performance within the context of SBM, and
the Regions development goal to raise the standard for teaching-learning practice in the areas of ., it
is the goal of the Regions MPPD to provide opportunities to develop professional competencies of the
target personnel:
o ES1 Division Education Leaders in the provision of technical assistance to teachers in the domains of
curriculum, assessment, and in teaching diverse learners
o School Heads in Instructional Leadership, School Management and Daily Operations,
Professional Development & HR Management Regional Educational Leaders in Educational
Planning and Monitoring and Evaluation
Formulate Objectives from the Goal
(Note: It is suggested that at this point and onwards groups work according to their personnel group.)
o Review the list of the priority learning needs and the specific competency areas which have
been identified as requiring improvements. For each personnel group formulate objectives that
will address the achievement of the identified learning needs and support the accomplishment
of the overall goal of the MPPD. For each objective identified, further refine the specific
competencies (the knowledge, skills and attitudes) which are to be enhanced. This is where
you will require input from people with subject expertise relating to the specific content areas.
For each of the objectives formulated, it will be necessary to identify the specific target
group who will participate in the corresponding professional development activity. The
description of the participants should include details such as type of personnel: ES1
(subject area, elementary/secondary), PSDS, Teachers (Elementary, Secondary, Mobile,
TIC, Master Teachers, Multi-grade), School Heads (Head Teacher, Principal, TIC)
o The number of participants who will be targeted for professional development should also
be indicated. This will be dependent on factors such as:
- the number of people who have identified this specific area as a priority learning need
- the availability of funds to support professional development activities as set out in
REDP/DEDP
The table below seen in Section 3 of the Template should be completed based on the previous
process odne above.

Decide the Content of the Programs for Each Target Group
In this section, you will need to plan programs to address each target groups objective and set of
corresponding competencies. This will require the identification of the end of the program output and
outcome. The matrix below is seen in Section 4 of the Template and is completed as follows:
1. Make a decision about how the competencies can be organized to form an effective professional
development program. Decisions need to be made about the achievement of the objective and the
identified competencies and if these can be met through a single program or if it will require a series
of programs.
2. If a single program only is required, write a brief description of the program that identifies how you
envisage the objectives and competencies will be met. Give the program a title and identify the end
of program outputs and outcomes. Outline the content expected to be covered during the program.
At this stage you should also make reference to any existing programs that you are aware of that
may support the development of the program. The TDIS and the LRMDS Portal helps in the location
of existing resources.
3. If the achievement of the objectives and competencies requires a series of programs, logically group
related competencies and arrange them into a sequence of programs that will inform how the
achievement of the objective is addressed. Once you have organized the competencies into a series
of programs, write a description of each program that identifies how you envisage the objective and
competencies are met and the content to be covered. Give each program a title and identify the
end of program outputs and outcomes. Note any pre-requisite programs.

4. Work through this process for each objective that is formulated for all the personnel groups.
Identify the Mode of Delivery
Once the specific programs are described, it is necessary to consider what would be the most appropriate
and effective learning mode to adopt. This decision should be based on a review of:
- the specific context
- the target participants
- effective modes of learning
- resources available, including current budget allocation
A range of suggested learning modes include supported independent study such as on-line learning,
individual action research, personal or structured professional reading; supported learning such as
region/division visits, peer review or peer observation with a colleague, mentoring and coaching; collective
action such as getting involved in a professional organization, conducting group research, or engaging in
group studies; and formal programs such as on site face to face training, region level/division level learning
communities, distance or on-line course study, and continuing formal education (e.g. graduate program)
Information relating to the delivery mode should be recorded in Section 4 of the MPPD Template.
Set the Time Frame
B. A period should be established for the conduct of the various programs identified in the MPPD.
The MPPD should indicate the period over which the specific programs are expected to be
implemented identifying start up and completion dates e.g. April-June 2009. In deciding on the
timeframe for all programs within the MPPD consideration should be given to:
- Prioritizing programs to ensure the most urgent needs are addressed in the early
stages of the plan
- Sequencing related programs for specific personnel groups in a logical progression so any
learning from initial programs is build upon in succeeding programs
- Spreading the programs across the years covered by the MPPD (e.g. Year 1, Year 2, Year3)
and ensuring programs are scheduled in line with the DepED calendar e.g. programs requiring
teachers to attend training away from their school are conducted during the
MPPD Guide and Tools
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 3 The PD Planning System 121
summer period
- Allowing sufficient time for the designing of programs and the preparation of
the necessary resource
- Ensuring all personnel groups are provided with opportunities for
professional development during each year covered by the plan.
- Ensuring the time frame is realistic and achievable
The timeframe for each program should be recorded in Section 4 of the MPPD Template.
Estimate Budgetary Requirements and Identify Sources
The next step in the process of accomplishing the MPPD is to develop an estimate of the costs
associated with conducting the professional development. When developing the budget estimation,
consideration should be given to the costs associated with:
- Developing new program designs or modifying existing program designs and resources
- the implementation of the program (e.g. this will depend on the learning mode
recommended) and need to consider such things as the costs associated with the
participants (travel, accommodation, meals etc), materials and resources and number
of participants
- monitoring and evaluating the program
A Budget Estimate Template (Attachment A) is provided to assist in the development of the budget.
After arriving at a budget estimate, consideration will need to be given to the source of the funds to
support the programs. It should be indicated in the MPPD where the funds to support specific programs are
to be sourced e.g. from the Regions existing budget for Human Resource Development or it will require the
mobilization of additional resources from various sources such as Local Government Unit (LGU), Special
Education Fund (SEF).
The Table below should be completed for all programs and included in Section 5 of the MPPD Template.

Review of the Plan
MPPD Guide and Tools
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 3 The PD Planning System 122
It is necessary to review the completed MPPD. It may be possible that a core group is assigned to
refine the MPPD further after the planning session and to see to it that the entire content meets
the standards for a quality MPPD.
Before reviewing the MPPD, it should be checked that sufficient time was given to complete the
document in good form. The completion of the MPPD should be given adequate time but not to
exceed one month.
The MPPD-M&E Form 4: Review Tool for Accomplished MPPD is used for this purpose. The
Division PDP-WG in charge of the M&E will also use this for further review for MPPD.
Note: When satisfied with the MPPD, make sure that it is signed by the MPPD planners and submitted to the
RD/SDS. The Region/Division PDP-WG will review the MPPD using Form 4 and will accomplish a summary
report using the Summary Template for this purpose.
Monitoring and Evaluating the MPPD Process
PDP-WGs Role in Monitoring and Evaluating the MPPD Process
During the MPPD process it is necessary for the PDP-WG to monitor the various stages and establish if
the accomplishment was carried out in line with the set guidelines and procedures. The M&E process will
involve:
- A review of the profiles of people involved in the MPPD process to ensure they have suitable
experience/background and that they are qualified to represent their specific personnel group
- An observation of the process involved in accomplishing the MPPD and the level of
collaboration between team members
- An analysis of participants feedback on the accomplishment of the MPPD to gauge if
processes were followed and to identify what changes can be made to improve the process
- A debriefing guide to use at the end of the MPPD process at the region/division level to
improve future processes
The following Monitoring and evaluation tools have been developed to support the M&E process. The M&E
Matrix and complete tools are found at the end of this Guide.

Approval and Implementation of the MPPD
Upon completion, the MPPD is to be submitted to the RD/SDS for approval. The approval process aims at
gaining consent for the overall goals and objectives of the MPPD as well as seeking a commitment and
authorization that sufficient funds are made available to support the designing of the various programs as
well as the actual implementation of the professional development activities.
MPPD Guide and Tools
T&D System Operations Manual-Volume 3 The PD Planning System 123
Approval of the MPPD therefore acts as a trigger for a number of activities. Once approved, it is essential
that the MPPD is communicated to all stakeholders. Stakeholders need to be made aware of the
professional development focus for the region/division so that all effort can be directed towards the
successful implementation of the plan.
The processes for mobilization of resources commence once the MPPD is approved, and in line with the
period for the implementation of programs. The MPPD, which will clearly identify the additional funds
required in fully implementing the plan, will be presented to the RD/SDS for approval. The T&D Chief/Chair
also needs to monitor the progress in securing the funds and consider the implications of any delays on the
implementation of the programs.
The region/division team responsible for the development of specific programs, upon approval of the plan,
and following directions from the T&D Chief/Chair, commences the process of designing the professional
development activities in line with the MPPD timeline and availability of funds. This may be as simple as
adopting existing program designs and resources or it may require the development of very new materials.
Procedures and tools for the development of program designs can be found in The T&D System Operations
Manual Volume 4, The Program Designing and Resource Development (PDRD) System.
