RSA Series: DepEd Order No. 007, s. 2023 - Part 3

PART 3 – Enclosure 2 Deep Dive: Teacher I Hiring & Ranking Explained

Part 3 is the most requested and most visited part of the entire RSA series. This is where Teacher I applicants finally understand how DepEd actually scores, ranks, and evaluates them through the point system in Enclosure 2 of DO 007, s. 2023.

If you fully understand Enclosure 2, you will know exactly how to prepare your evidence folder, avoid disqualification, and maximize your points ethically.


What Enclosure 2 Is and Why It Matters

Enclosure 2 is the official scoring system for Teacher I hiring across the Philippines. It removes guesswork, rumors, and “local practices.” Instead, everyone is evaluated using the same national framework.

This part connects directly to Part 2 (RSA workflow) because the scoring tools are only one component of the entire hiring system. HR and HRMPSB use Enclosure 2 during:

  • document validation
  • evaluation proper
  • BEI or interview scoring
  • demo teaching assessment
  • ranking and deliberation

Understanding Enclosure 2 allows you to see exactly why some applicants outrank others—even when their documents look similar.


The Teacher I Scoring Structure (Plain Language)

The Teacher I scoring system typically evaluates applicants across core areas such as:

  • Education
  • Teaching Demonstration
  • Teaching/Learning Support Experience (if applicable)
  • Relevant Trainings / Learning & Development
  • Specialized Skills / Achievements
  • Written / Interview components (as determined by division guidance)
  • Behavioral Events Interview (BEI)

The weights and exact scoring metrics are contained in Enclosure 2, but this guide explains how those numbers work in real life, which is the part applicants need most.


1. Education (Your Foundation Score)

Education is the easiest section to score because it is based on:

  • your degree (BEEd, BSEd, or allied fields under the K-12 transition rules)
  • your major / specialization
  • your general weighted average (GWA) or similar indicators

Your transcript must be complete, clear, and aligned to the QS. HRMPSB cannot assume alignment—your evidence must show it.

Common score-loss causes:

  • unclear subject descriptions
  • specialization not reflected in the TOR
  • major/minor mismatch
  • incomplete remarks or lacking signatures

2. Learning and Development (L&D) — Your “Growth Evidence”

Training certificates only count if they meet the standards:

  • must be relevant to teaching or curriculum delivery
  • must show dates, hours, provider, and completion
  • must be verifiable

Rule of thumb: If HR can’t verify it, HR can’t score it.

Common mistakes:

  • Certificates with no hours → may get downgraded
  • Unverified online certificates → may be rejected
  • Certificates with incomplete provider details

3. Teaching Demo — One of the Most Critical Components

The teaching demonstration evaluates:

  • content mastery
  • lesson planning
  • delivery clarity
  • classroom management
  • learner engagement
  • assessment strategies

Demo teaching is NOT about performing a memorized script. It is a competency-based exercise. Panels look for evidence of your ability to teach real students—not the “best performance,” but the most authentic and effective teaching.


4. Experience — What Counts and What Does Not

Experience points apply only if your division includes them based on Enclosure 2.

Typically, valid experience includes:

  • teaching in private schools
  • volunteer teaching (with proper documentation)
  • ALS teaching
  • instructional support roles

Experience must be supported by:

  • Service Record
  • Certificate of Employment with duties
  • Assignment Orders (if volunteer)

One missing document can eliminate this score entirely.


5. Behavioral Events Interview (BEI) — The “Real You” Evaluation

Applicants often fear the BEI, but it is one of the fairest tools in RSA because it evaluates:

  • professional behavior
  • decision-making
  • problem-solving
  • ethics
  • teamwork

The BEI asks for real past experiences using the STAR method:

  • Situation
  • Task
  • Action
  • Result

Tip: BEI is not about perfection. It is about how you think and behave.


6. Additional Skills / Specializations

Some divisions award points for:

  • special talents (sports, arts, music)
  • technical skills (ICT, multimedia)
  • certifications (TESDA NCs, ICT competencies)

The guiding principle is: skills must be relevant, documented, and verifiable.


How the Final Ranking Is Computed

Depending on the division’s implementation of Enclosure 2:

  1. HR consolidates raw scores
  2. HRMPSB validates every component
  3. Each point is justified through an Annex
  4. Scores are totaled
  5. A master ranking list is generated

During deliberation, HRMPSB checks whether:

  • documents are complete
  • demo teaching rubrics align
  • BEI scoring is evidence-based
  • experience is valid
  • L&D certificates meet standards

Only after validation does ranking become official.


How This Part Connects to the Other Parts

This part prepares you for:

  • Part 4 – the School Administration scoring system (which uses a different evidence model)
  • Part 5 – RT/NT scoring systems, where competencies differ greatly
  • Part 6 – the Annex Toolkit, where scoring and validation forms are shown
  • Part 7 – grievance rules if your ranking is affected by validation

Teacher I applicants MUST read Part 6 afterward because that part explains the exact forms HR uses to validate your evidence and scoring.
