At the end of the session, the participants are
expected to:
Revisit the rationale and overview of the SIP
Identify the 3 Key Result Areas of Basic
Education and link it to the SIP Process
Discuss Annexes required in the preparatory

Legal Basis
Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001 (RA 9155),

centers to make decisions on what is best for the learners
they serve.
RA 9155 entrusts to the school heads the authority,
accountability and responsibility to develop school education
programs and the SIP.

What is SIP?
• SIP – School Improvement Plan
Is a roadmap that lays down specific interventions that a
school, with the help of the community and other
stakeholders, undertakes within a period of three (3)
consecutive school years

SIP Guiding Principles
The SIP shall be anchored on the DepEd Vison, mission, core
values, strategies, and on Central, Regional, Division and school
goals.
The SIP shall be evidence-and results-based, child-and learner-
centered.
The development of SIP requires innovative and systems thinking,
and a mindset of continuous improvement.
The formulation and implementation of the SIP shall involve the
active participation of all education stakeholders in the school and
community.
Pursuant ot RA 9155 known as Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001, this policy aims to strengthen School-Based Management (SBM) by further devolving the governance of education to schools, empowering school teams and personnel, the expanding community participation and involvement,
and making the delivery of education services to the learners more responsive, efficient, and effective through an enhanced schools planning and communication process.
This is what the school leaders and the teachers strategically do to improve the school.
Basically, It covers a plan for three consecutive years.
It has been quite a while, we are called here to enhanced our SIP
Integral to the making of SIP are projects under the Continuous Improvement Program, the creation and mobilization of Learning Action Cells and the preparation of School Report Cards
Where we involved in the school planning an evidence-based, systematic approach where the learners is the starting point and ultimately help schools reach the goal of providing access to quality education.
SIP involves 3 key result areas to improve
So as a school, we will look into these areas to improve.
Access – how to make education available to all, i
Quality – refers to the quality of education you deliver, held them in their lives.
Governance – how we manage the operation of the school, how we make sure that administrative procedures are well in place.
Evidence – based, you can not implement out of the blue, something that is based on data or facts, based from envestigation
Results- based, means it should be measurable , you should be able to see if your project are accomplishing something, whatever initiative we have, it should be based on result, it should have a real concrete impact, the school process is being changed because of your initiative.
Child or learner – centers, we want to be something that is a child centered, that’s why we will listen to the voice of the learners,
We should based our SIP on these VMGO,
Since this is an evidence and result-based and child-centered, there should be preliminary data be done.
The development of SIP
We need to understand what is systems thinking, a paradigm of how we look at things, we see things as very complex, one dimension, one system, everything affects each other, what we do affects a lot of things, we need to be very sensitive on our process, it has domino effect.
The complexity of planning, therefore there must a data on planning.
The mindset of continuous improvement, that’s why we have that 3 phases, we assess, do and act in formulating our SIP
Three-year period that follows the Assess, Plan and Act Phases.
The ASSESS phase is where the identification of the PIAs is done and the general objectives of the SIP are set. This phase includes listening to the voice of the learners and the other stakeholders and analyzing the school data and processes to determine the root cause of each PIA
The PLAN phase involves the preparation and writing of the SIP and AIP. It is when the formulation of solutions and development of projects designs are done.
The ACT phase involves small-scale testing then implementation of the solutions. Constant checking of the implementation progress is done in this phase as well.
AS the school proceeds to plan their AIP for year 2 or 3, the process goes back to Assess where the School Community Planning Team (SPT) analyzes the impact of solutions that were implemented to check for progress.
After this, the SPT reviews its AIP and SIP re-analyzing data and revisiting the root cause to ensure that projects continue to address existing needs and well contribute to the general objectives stated in the SIP.
The AIP for the next year of implementation should contain the adjustments and lessons learned from the previous implementation.
Once the SIP is prepared, it shall be signed by all the SPT members to ensure its ownership and accuracy.

Why do SIP initiatives and implementations fail? (By Don Marlett
Educators believe in the importance of learning from our mistakes and failures, and it isn’t uncommon to hear conversations about how we should support and maybe even celebrate failures. Students should understand that mistakes and failures are an integral part of learning and growing. But as educators, do we really embrace the same mindset for school improvement? Is learning from our mistakes or failures an important part of school improvement plans?
An article written in the May – June 2021 issue of the Harvard Business Review with the title Why Start-ups Fail by Tom Eisenmann caught my attention. At first glance, I saw a glaring statistic: almost 66% of all startups fail. I wondered if start-up’s failures could help us learn more about the school improvement process.
Before we discuss the connection between start-ups and school improvement, it is vital to make a sharp distinction between Decisions and Outcomes. Most of us connect Decisions and Outcomes to such a degree that at some point you have probably blamed making a wrong Decision because of the Outcome.
However, we must understand that we can make a sound Decision and get a poor Outcome and vice versa: make a poor Decision and get a good Outcome. Therefore, we must be able to reflect on the Outcomes from our decision-making skills.
