13. Project ICARETree is an acronym for the Inventory of
Malunggay and other Trees in School, Clean-up Activity,
Advocacy Campaign, 3R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle /
Establishment of School MRF), Environmental Awareness,
Tree planting, growing, and caring (including establishment
of school nursery).
What is Project ICARETree?

14. Incorporating these initiatives in a school setting can offer numerous
benefits:
1. Feeding support: Planting and inventory of malunggay can help
ensure a sustainable supply of nutritious food for school feeding
programs. Malunggay is rich in vitamins and minerals and can
contribute to improved nutrition for learners (DepEd Order No. 234, s.
2008).
2. Environmental education: Maintaining an inventory of various trees
on the school grounds provides an opportunity for learners to become
familiar with different tree species and learn about their ecological
significance.

15. 3. Clean-up activities: Involving students in clean-up
activities not only enhances the aesthetics of the school
and local community but also promotes environmental
stewardship and a sense of community responsibility.
4. Waste management: Establishing a material recovery
facility in the school can promote the principles of reduce,
reuse, and recycle. This initiative can help minimize waste
and encourage sustainable practices within the school
community.

16. 5. Environmental awareness training and Advocacy
Campaign: Providing training on environmental awareness
can educate students about the importance of
conservation, waste reduction, and sustainable living
practices.
6. Tree planting and care: Engaging students in tree
planting and caring for existing trees can instill a sense of
environmental responsibility and foster a connection to
nature.

17. With the adoption of Project ICARETree cum Project
Proposal, Partnership Implementation and ICT Integration,
the schools will be able to come up and implement with no
to minimal cost of projects, programs, and activities and can
contribute to a more environmentally conscious and
engaged student body, as well as promoting sustainable
practices within the school and wider community.

25. Strengthening
Partnerships with
Stakeholders in School

26. Strengthening
Partnerships with
Stakeholders in
School
Teachers

s
Stakeholders

27. Stakeholders are the support system to the goals of the Department
of Education in providing quality, equitable, culture-based, and
complete basic education and at the same time inculcating in them
the love of the country. These include families, school administrators,
and communities that bring about the seeds of morality, cultural
values, social responsibilities, human affections, resources, and
opportunities, for our learners. They are the springboards of expertise
in skills and professions, and hobbies, among others. They are the
sources of encouragement, optimism, and resilience.
Strengthening Partnerships with
Stakeholders in School

28. Consequently, strengthening the bond between the school community
and the stakeholders could create confident and competent learners
in fulfilling their dreams. Several studies revealed that schools that
developed a strong bond with stakeholders have the following:
1. higher number of performing learners on grade level,
2. higher rate of parents’ involvement,
3. better support school reforms,
4. improved student assessment results,
5. higher rate of learners' attendance,
6. more learning opportunities outside of school.
Strengthening Partnerships with
Stakeholders in School

29. With this, a recent study has found factors that promote strong
partnerships with stakeholders. First, strong school leadership is required
in a school head, for this plays a pivotal role in the formation of
partnerships with the stakeholders. One must be a visionary with respect to
the school and the role of the stakeholders in supporting such partnerships.
Furthermore, the school head must also have the capacity to motivate his or
her subordinates and be one with the stakeholders, having that talent for
nurturing relationships with parents, teachers, government officials,
religious organizations, and the community. Second, a welcoming school
environment is advantageous to strengthening stakeholder partnerships.
This means that stakeholders have always a choice to help the school in any
way they want for the betterment of the learners and the school as a whole.

Stakeholders in School

30. Third, the dedication of teachers to the success of the learners.
Stakeholders become more involved and more willing to supply the needs of
the school and the learners when they see the commitment of teachers to
going the extra mile. Finally, interaction and teamwork. These two are found
to also foster a strong partnership with stakeholders. Activities of the school
that are communicated well are valued by stakeholders and the community
and thus, working together, as a team, could easier way of doing those
activities, projects, or programs of the school.
Having presented all these, for a school to strengthen its partnership with
stakeholders, it must have those qualities and factors mentioned above.
When these are met, then learners can have a better quality of life and
become essential contributors to the economic progress and stability of the
country.

31. Building partnerships and linkages in the implementation of project
programs and activities in a school requires a strategic approach. Here are
some steps that can help in this process:
1. Identify Potential Partners: Begin by identifying potential partners such
as local businesses, community organizations, educational institutions, and
government agencies that align with the goals of the project program and
activities.
2. Establish Clear Goals and Objectives: Clearly define the goals and
objectives of the project program and activities to potential partners. This
will help them understand the purpose and what they can contribute.
Approach in Building Partnerships and
Linkages

32. 3. Communication and Relationship Building: Establish effective
communication channels to engage potential partners and build
relationships. Regular communication and transparency are key in
maintaining strong partnerships.
4. Collaboration and Contribution: Encourage collaboration and input
from partners in the planning and implementation of the project program
and activities. Each partner can bring unique resources, expertise, and
support to the table.
5. Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) or Agreements: Consider
formalizing partnerships through MOUs or agreements that outline the
roles, responsibilities, and expectations of each partner.
Approach in Building Partnerships and
Linkages

33. 6. Recognition and Appreciation: Recognize and appreciate the
contributions of partners. This can be done through public
acknowledgment, joint events, or other forms of recognition.
7. Continuous Evaluation and Improvement: Regularly evaluate the
effectiveness of partnerships and make adjustments as necessary.
Continuous improvement is essential in maintaining successful
partnerships.
By following these steps, schools can effectively build partnerships and
linkages to support the implementation of project programs and activities.

43. An interactive worksheet table
- Provides a powerful tool for summarizing large amounts of tabular data
Similar to a cross-tabulation table
- A pivot table classifies numeric data in a list based on other fields in
the list
General Purpose:
- Quickly summarize data from a worksheet or from an external source
- Calculate totals, average, counts, etc. based on any numeric fields in
your table
- Generate charts from your pivot tables
What is Pivot Table?

44. Interactive: easily rearrange them by moving, adding or
deleting fields
Dynamic: results are automatically recalculated
whenever fields are added or dropped, or whenever
categories are hidden or displayed
Easy to updated: "refreshable" if the original worksheet
data changes
Pivot Table Advantages?

45. Data arranged in the list:
- Columns represent fields
- Rows represent a record of related data
First row = column label
Columns contaon one sort of data
- for example, text in one column and numeric values in a
separate column
Remove subtotals
- You can work with subtotals, but use caution
De-normalized database extracts are great for pivoting
Appropriate Data
