<p>Frameworks serve as a compass to guide institutions and organizations towards attaining set goals. They establish an order by which principles and other relevant elements connect and interplay. It offers a set of standards and initial processes to ensure that all stakeholders have shared understanding of the system.</p><p>With DepEd's adoption of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) as the framework for teacher quality, Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) are expected to respond by ensuring that the curriculum and training they offer is aligned with what the system needs. To support TEIs, the Pre-service Teachers Practice-based Training (PSTePT) framework is designed to serve as guide in training pre-service teachers to reach the qualifications of the Beginning Teacher career stage as defined in the PPST.</p>
