understanding of their stakes in the school and community which result in the
achievement of the minimum level of SBM practice.
Efforts to continuously improve are evident in all SBM Dimensions.
74. 73
SBM Level 3
Demonstrative Culture of Continuous Improvement (CCI)
The school shows knowledge and demonstrates understanding of the SBM standards across
all Dimensions and these translate to sustained implementation of effective practices and
efficient processes.
Stakeholder participation has become an integral part of the school operations. It is
dynamic and proactive, which also makes it sustainable. They have a clear understanding
of their collective stakes and accept ownership of responsibility and accountability toward
continuous improvement. Stakeholder engagement activities result in a mutually beneficial
relationship between the school and its community.
Efforts to continuously improve are evident in all SBM Dimensions and radiates to its
community.
75. 74
SBM Level 4
Distinguished Culture of Continuous Improvement (CCI)
Distinguished schools sustain and intensify their implementation of effective practices and
efficient processes. However, they are further distinguished from other levels of practice by
their evident display of the Bayanihan Spirit. This means that a school is able to effectively
influence other community of schools to cultivate cooperation.
The dynamic and proactive participation of stakeholders is sustained and intensified. Their
understanding of collective stakes transcends the immediate school-community and is
expressed as an extended involvement to support other community of schools.
Efforts to continuously improve extend to other community of schools.

Editor's Notes
Talking Points:
The school and community co-exist and both benefit from each other. This is a classic example of symbiotic relationship among human. It starts with having a vision [for the school and/or community] that is reflective of the aspirations of the people and having a dream that includes the development of the school.
This nurturing relationship is seen in the communityâs role for the school especially in terms of closing the gaps in crucial resources, curriculum development and the professional development of teachers; while the school progressively develops and position itself as a resource for the community to meet its needs and develop its human capital.
DepEd as the âduty bearerâ must recognize in all its policies, programs and projects, the role of the community as the ârights bearerâ of education. While our partner communities must also step up in protecting these rights by assuming responsibilities for action.
These dynamics demonstrate the varying picture of decentralization practices reflective of a healthier relationship and active involvement of both parties which should be pushed and strengthened in order to achieve the desired outcomes for the school and community.
As structure for Shared Governance, the SGC is a collective and consultative body that serves as platform where school stakeholders discuss and provide policy recommendations and inputs on school policies and strategic directions.
It is a space where democratic process of consultation is exercised and strengthened inside the school.
As a platform for feedback mechanism, the SGC serves as an avenue where stakeholder engagement is strengthenedthrough discussion of strategic directions and addressing concern.
The SGC is an overall coordinating body of different school committees to synergize, harmonize, and put together their work to ensurealignment and achievement of goals.
The SGC as an overall coordinating body is a STRUCTURE FOR SHARED GOVERNANCE and FEEDBACK MECHANISM that works collaboratively with various school committees to ensure that the priorities of these committees are anchored on SIP and school priorities.
The SGC provides a venue for parents, learners, teaching and non-teaching personnel, internal and external stakeholders, and the school head to work together towards continuously improving access to learning opportunities and learning outcomes in a gender-responsive, non-discriminatory, and inclusive physical and social learning environment.Â
All public elementary and secondary schools shall establish School Governance Councils, which shall serve as overarching advisory and coordinating bodies for all committees, associations, and organizations in their respective schools. The SGC shall form part of the school structure as an embodiment of the principle of shared governance, mandated under Republic Act No. 9155.
Consultative Body - a group that gives advice or proposal about a particular problem or subjectÂ
Functions of the SGC as a Feedback Mechanism
The SGC shall:
a. help the school improve and sustain its feedback system by strengthening practices that promote stakeholdersâ participation;
b. assist the school in ensuring transparency in its operations and performance, specifically school programs and resources management; and
c. recommend ways of improving the quality of basic education services and school performance to the school management and school planning team (SPT), and its means of respecting, protecting, fulfilling, and promoting childrenâs rights in education.
All voting SGC members shall hold office for a maximum of three (3) School Years (SY). Accordingly, all SGC officers (Designated Co-Chairperson, Elected Co-Chairperson, and Secretary) shall serve and assume their positions for three (3) SYs. After their terms as council members and officers, SGC members may continue to be a part of the council and participate in the council's activities as non-voting members to ensure continuity in the implementation of SIP.
Systems-oriented - Shows components, structures, interrelationships, interdependence, characteristics and underlying principles
Intended outcome - Harmonizes the intended outcomes expressed in major SBM anchors
Process - Emphasizes the school improvement planning process
Context (the school learning community) - SIP and Stakeholder Engagement are essential processes which need to happen in the school-community
Stakeholder engagement - All stakeholders share the responsibility of educating Filipino learners
Expected outcome of SBM is aligned with major anchors.
SBM is learner-centered.
1. All Dimensions are important.
2. Governed by the ACCESs (A Child and Community-centered Education Systems) Principles.
3. Highlights both the people and organization.
From the current policy:
LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE: A network of leadership and governance guides the school education system to achieve its shared vision, mission, and goals making them responsive and relevant to the context of diverse environments.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT: A clear, transparent, inclusive, and responsive accountability system is in place, collaboratively developed by the school community, which monitors performance and acts appropriately on gaps and gains.
From the current policy:
1. MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES: Resources are collectively and judiciously mobilized and managed with transparency, effectiveness, and efficiency.
From the current policy:
1. CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION: The curriculum learning systems anchored on the community and learnersâ contexts and aspirations are collaboratively developed and continuously improved.
1-2. SIP, stakeholder engagement, and the DOD are very essential support processes which are also fundamental foundations for a successful SBM implementation. These are not changed from the current policy.
3. Consistent with the messaging that SBM nurtures a culture of continuous improvement.
4. Still governed by ACCESs Principles.
5. Quality of documents over quantity; SBM is not merely an exercise on document collection. SBM is not requiring new documents. All MOVs are policy-based.
1. Recognizes the levels of proficiency of schools which are aligned with people effectiveness frameworks. Supports a more strategic provision of technical assistance.
2. Consistent with the messaging that SBM is a culture of continuous improvement. CI culture should be cultivated in all schools. SBM is not an R&R system. It is a school management and CI framework.
3. Avoids confusion on roles and responsibilities.
4. The focus is on the institutionalization of CI in practices and processes. The continuous improvement of the SBM Dimensions provides a conducive environment for desired outcomes to thrive.
Example documentary evidence for an SBM Level 1 Practice
Leadership Dimension, Standard 1: The school fosters a culture that encourages excellence and continuous improvement.
Level 1: The school identifies opportunities where excellence and continuous improvement can be practiced by all school personnel and learners.
MOV: Incomplete SIP/Complete but not quality assessed or approved SIP (Absence of SIP)
but does not necessarily translate appreciation and knowledge to effective practices and efficient processes.
Schools as organizations can have Knowledge and Understanding of the SBM standards and dimensions because organizations must have Knowledge Management systems in place. Institutional knowledge should not be reliant on people, rather than on systems put in place that can withstand the movements and changes in the organization.
Example documentary evidence for an SBM Level 2 Practice
Leadership Dimension, Standard 1: The school fosters a culture that encourages excellence and continuous improvement.
Level 2: The school institutionalizes a program that fosters a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.
MOV: Quality assessed and approved SIP (with support evidence, for instance Action Research/CI projects)
But are not yet translating into sustainable undertakings
Sustained means that schools are able to consistently maintain a Level 2 practice for several years (ideally 3 years).
Dynamic stakeholder participation means it is continuously progressing in extent of involvement and increasing in number.
Proactive stakeholder participation means that stakeholders are not merely complying with the requirement that they must get involved. This also means that stakeholders create their own opportunities to get involved.
Mutually beneficial means that it is a two-way relationship. Schools are also actively and purposively finding ways to give back to the community.
Intensified implementation of effective practices and efficient processes means that the sustained efforts are further strengthened by an expansion in extent of influence. It is not only felt in the school and its immediate community, but also in other community of schools.
A stage or level where a school becomes a model to other schools (network).
1. Schools subject themselves to self-assessment using the tool - coinciding with the preparatory activities and Assess Phase of the SIP.
2. Schools observe SBM in their everyday operations.
-Schools implement continuous improvement initiatives
-Schools monitor progress in their continuous improvement initiatives
-Schools may also undergo subsequent self-assessments as deemed necessary
-Schools gradually accomplish documentary evidence as a result of their everyday operations
3. Schools check the appropriateness and completeness of the accomplished documentary evidence and organizes them, ideally, per Dimension.
4. SDOs verify the results of self-assessment and continuous improvement initiatives done by schools.
-Schools, stakeholders, and SDOs discuss on mutually agreed SBM level of practice
