Temporary Suspension of Class Observation to All Teachers in All Grade Levels

The Department of Education (DepEd) Bicol Regional Director Gilbert Sadsad temporarily suspended Classroom Observations on teachers at all levels in Bicol schools.

In his memorandum dated September 16, 2022, the director said that although the department has an order to head teachers who need to visit and monitor the implementation of the 8-week learning recovery curriculum, especially in grades 1 to 3, the visits must be focused on gathering feedback and resolving issues faced by teachers and providing technical assistance as needed or requested.

For this reason, Sadsad ordered that formal classroom observations with the purpose of rating teachers at all levels be temporarily suspended until October 31, 2022.
