If you're a Master Teacher preparing your PMES portfolio, one of the most important documents you need is the:
👉 Performance Monitoring and Coaching Form (PMCF)
This document is more than just a form—it is your evidence of instructional leadership, coaching, and mentoring.
In this post, we’ll break down how to use the PMCF effectively and how it can help you achieve an Outstanding rating.
📌 What Is the PMCF?
The Performance Monitoring and Coaching Form (PMCF) is used to:
✔ Document coaching and mentoring activities
✔ Record significant teaching-related incidents
✔ Monitor teacher progress
✔ Provide feedback and recommendations
👉 For Master Teachers, this serves as a Means of Verification (MOV) in PMES.
👩🏫 Who Uses the PMCF?
- Rater/Coach: Master Teacher
- Ratee: Classroom Teachers (e.g., Teacher I–III)
Examples from the sample:
- Ms. Ana A. Cruz – Mathematics Teacher
- Mr. Leo D. Garcia – English Teacher
👉 Each teacher has an individual PMCF, which strengthens your documentation.
📊 What Makes a Strong PMCF?
A high-quality PMCF focuses on:
✅ Significant Incidents (NOT Actions)
Instead of writing:
❌ “Conducted LAC session”
You should write:
✔ “During the LAC session, learners showed difficulty in solving word problems…”
👉 The focus is on actual classroom situations.
