This document provides guidelines and criteria for proposed school innovation projects in the Philippines. It outlines a standard project proposal format that includes identifying the proponent and contacts, providing a project summary with objectives and methodology, discussing the background and needs addressed by the project, outlining objectives, methodology with tasks and risks, costs, expected results, and a conclusion. Examples of completed projects are also provided, such as improving reading performance through parent involvement and establishing a school garden to fund educational resources.

1. PROJECT PROPOSAL
FOR
SCHOOL INNOVATION

2. Pursuant to Republic Act No.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, expanding community participation and
involvement, and making the delivery of education
services to the learners more responsive, efficient, and
effective through an enhanced school planning and
improvement that lays down specific interventions
through initiated project in schools.
Rationale

3.  In consonance with such Act, all teaching and
non-teaching personnel are encouraged to
create, innovate school-Based initiated
projects geared towards the improvement of
teaching-learning process and school
governance.
Rationale

4. Teachers, Master Teachers, Head Teachers, Principals and Non-
teaching personnel can make a project on the following:
 Project that produces innovative ideas about using
technology and innovations in the teaching-learning process
 Project that will help advance the knowledge about using the
technology to support student learning.
 Project-based classroom rather than book-based instruction
Who will innovate?

5. What do we mean with
innovation?
Innovation
 is the introduction of new ideas, goods, services
and practices which are intended to be useful.
Wikipedia.org/wiki/innovation

6. Innovation
It could address gaps on access, quality and relevance
and governance or management of education services such
as:
 Increase enrolment/ participation rate,
reduce/zeroing-in drop-outrate, and reduce failure
rate
 It could improve academic performance,
 Enhance learning environment/ improve physical
facilities
 Product of contextualization and indigenization

7. What do we mean by
innovation?
It can be defined as the process of implementing new
ideas to create value for an organization. This may mean
creating a new service, system, or process, or enhancing
existing ones. Innovation can also take the form of
discontinuing an inefficient or out-of-date service, system, or
process.

8. Innovation in Education
3 Kinds of Innovation in Education
According to Elizabeth Hunter
1) Structure -ways classrooms and schools are organized
2) Content -introduce new subjects or revised old subjects in
new ways
3) Process-those that have to do with human interaction

9. Project Classification
1. Access
2. Quality and relevance-Curriculum
3. Governance

10. Current Innovations in Education
 Project IMPACT (Instructional Management by
Parents, Community and Teachers)
 NCBTS (National Competency-Based Teacher
Standards
 ICExcels (Instructional and Curricular Excellence
in School Leadership and Management
 OTOP (Observe the Observer Program)

11. A Project Proposal, often called a “Statement of Work” is a
persuasive document. Its objectives are to:
 Identify what work is to be done
 Explain why this work needs to be done
 Persuade/convince the reader that the proposer is
qualified for the work, have a plausible management plan
(objectives/goals and planned procedures) and technical
approach (defines your offering or saying what you will do
or deliver), and have the resources needed to complete the
task within the stated time and cost constraints.
Guidelines
in Writing a Project Proposal

12.  It must be qualified to benefit the learners and other
stakeholders, have a plausible management plan and the
resources needed to complete the task within the stated
time and cost estimates/approximation of the probable
cost of the project computed based on available
information.
 One attribute is appearance. A strong proposal has an
attractive, professional, inviting appearance. In addition,
the information should be easy to access.

13.  A second attribute is substance. A strong proposal has a
well-organized plan of attack. A strong proposal also has
technical details because technical depth is needed to sell
your project.
Remember:
A proposal is a persuasive document.

Guidelines & Criteria

15. 5. If it is an infrastructure project, the proponent must present

showing that the project is already finished. The evaluation
should be a requisite for the approval of the terminal report.
10.While the project is on-going, the project evaluators will visit
to monitor the status of implementation
11. If the proponent will use the project proposal
as “innovation” for promotion purposes, acceptance of the
project depends on the PSB.
Note:
The project must have provision for sustainability and
replicability
Guidelines & Criteria

17. Note: All project proposals related to DepEd’s current projects
and programs are not necessarily be approved as project
