Understanding the Performance Monitoring and Coaching Form (PMCF)

A practical guide for teachers, raters, and school leaders

What the PMCF Is About

The Performance Monitoring and Coaching Form (PMCF), also known as Annex D in the Department of Education’s Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS), is a development-oriented monitoring tool that documents teachers’ professional milestones, learning interventions, and progress across the school year.

It records significant incidents—moments that demonstrate core competencies in practice—and outlines the corresponding coaching response to support continuous improvement. The PMCF is not a score sheet; it is a living record of growth that captures how teachers refine their craft through observation, mentoring, and reflection.

Rationale Behind the PMCF

1. Promote reflective practice. By documenting real classroom experiences, teachers and raters can reflect on what works, what needs refinement, and what professional learning should follow.
2. Strengthen coaching culture. The PMCF fosters a mentoring mindset where school heads and supervisors act as partners in professional growth rather than mere evaluators.
3. Ensure alignment with PPST. Each incident is linked to Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) domains, keeping professional development standards-based and evidence-informed.
4. Support data-driven development plans. PMCF entries provide concrete evidence that informs the IPCRF and future Learning and Development (L&D) programs.

How the PMCF Helps

For Teachers

• Serves as a mirror of professional practice, highlighting achievements and learning needs.
• Provides personalized coaching and focused support rather than generic training.
• Encourages ownership of growth through regular reflection and goal-setting.

For School Heads and Raters

• Offers a systematic way to monitor and document performance across the school year.
• Strengthens the feedback loop between observation, mentoring, and results.
• Builds a culture of trust, dialogue, and shared accountability.

For the Entire School

• Creates a climate where improvement is continuous, not seasonal.
• Informs school-based professional development anchored on actual teacher needs.
• Contributes to higher learner outcomes as well-supported teachers teach more effectively.

In Practice

At Silangan High School, the PMCF functions as a structured conversation between teachers and mentors. Quarterly check-ins review entries such as innovative strategies, learner engagement initiatives, or specific classroom challenges. Each session ends with an action plan: what to sustain, what to adjust, and what support is needed next. The visible results include guided teachers, engaged students, and a culture of collaborative improvement.

Final Thought

The Performance Monitoring and Coaching Form is most powerful when reflection leads to action. When teachers are coached—not just rated—they become catalysts for meaningful change in learning.
