4. School Based Management (SBM)
SBM is a strategy to decentralize
decision-making authority to the individual
school site of which devolution of authority
is the fundamental concept.
A recent trend in education reform that stresses decision making on the school
level. In the past, school policies were set by the state and the districts. Now the
trend is for individual schools to make their own decisions and policies.

7. Resource Management
The efficient and effective deployment of an organization's
resources in the most efficient way possible , maximizing the
utilization of available resources to achieve organization goals.
Such resources may include tangible resources such as
Information
Technology(IT)
Facilities
Financial
resources
Ideas…

It can also include ideas assigned to task that add
value. These include…
Functional

Functional
Labor (Human
Resource)
8. Recent resource management
trend
In the past resource management, a key issue has been
how to improve or re-engineer the internal school process as a
whole to add value through school effectiveness.
The answer:-
a new trend in school management,
-knowledge based with empowerment
re its internal process to maximize
its resources for operation and
continuous development in
management, teaching & learning
within the new changing 21st
century..
SBM, a key component of Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda or BESRA.
9. Added Value - customer focused
To add value means,
to manage and transform
resources, materials, parts or
knowledge to products that
Customers (students &
parents) want and are willing
to pay for…

11. Why School-Based Management?
SBM, a key component of Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda or BESRA.
To accelerate the implementation
of a key component of Basic
Education Sector Reform Agenda
or BESRA.
With School-based Management
(SBM), the school as key provider
of education, will be equipped to
empower its key officials to make
informed and localized decisions
based on their unique needs toward
improving the educational system.
12. SBM- a strategy to decentralize
decision-making authority to the
individual school site of which
devolution of authority is the
fundamental concept.
A recent trend in education reform that
stresses decision making on the school level.
In the past, school policies were set by the
state and the districts. Now the trend is for
individual schools to make their own
decisions and policies.
13. SCHOOL-BASED MANAGEMENT
School-based management (SBM) is the
decentralization of decision-making
authority from state and district
(central, regional, division) levels down to
the school level.
Responsibility and school operations is
transferred to principals, teachers, parents,
sometimes students, and other school
community members with the
intent to unite.
The school, however, have to
conform to, or operate, within
14. Why Decentralization?
To provide opportunity to School
Leaders to:
• boosts the morale of teachers and
encourages leadership at all levels
• allows participation of the entire
school community in making key
decisions
• has a wider pool of ideas in
designing education programs
• focuses resources to the goals and
needs of each school.
According to the National Association of
Secondary School Principals (NASSP)
15. Why is School-Based Management
important?
With more responsibilities dissolved to schools through
SBM, schools have greater autonomy and flexibility in
managing their operations and resources towards school
development.
Additional autonomy makes schools more transparent in
their operations and accountable to the community for their
performance and proper use of funds as Quality of school
education directly impact students’ learning outcomes.
Second, it allows local decision-makers to determine the
appropriate mix of inputs and education policies adapted
to local realities and needs.
17. 4.Integrate School
management and
instructional reformation

1.Empower school heads
to lead their teachers and
students through reforms
that leads to higher
learning outcomes
3.Strengthens partnership with
communities as well as local
government units to invest time,
money and effort in making the
school a better place to learn
2.Bring resources including funds,
down to the control of schools to
spur change in line with
decentralization

20. Question to ponder
Why do schools use a system of
ringing bells to stop or start,
Is it,…
....to ensure order?
….to prepare students for a profession which
requires clocking in and out?
….in actuality, an acclimatization tool?
Was it’s original purpose to provide a means
of knowing when to be somewhere when
watches were a thing for the middle-classes
and affluent adults?
We need change to move with the times
-look at the building blocks of the system
-change for the better to adapt to meeting
current demanding needs

47. The review mission reports of Dep. Ed’s
development partners cite that while most of the
schools implemented SBM as reflected in the
increase in number of schools with SIP, those
receiving grants and MOOE on time, and those who
conducted SBM assessment, systemic issues were
noted in the operationalization of policies and
guidelines at the field level. Among these are:
R A T I O N A L
E
48. Unrealistic targets and inappropriate strategies in
the SIPs of many of the schools visited;
Too much focus on the SIP templates, which is
usually construed as a one-size-fits-all,
overlooking the unique condition of their schools,
the pupils/students they are providing learning
environments for, and the peculiar issues they are
confronting;
it was observed that there are more schools with
School Report Cards than School Improvement
Plans which reflects a disconnect of these two SBM
49. A process by which members of the school
–community conducts a thorough evaluation
of their school’s educational programming
in the previous school years and the
development of a written school plan
that:
establishes the starting point for ongoing
evaluation of efforts and
unifies independently organized school
improvement efforts from various areas of the total school program
into a single, focused process.
School Improvement Planning (SIP)
50. A need in paradigm shift in education governance, from being
school-centered to community- and child- (learner) centered and
towards enhancing the principle of shared governance to support the
stewardship of children’s learning outcomes.
It is also imperative in the review and refinement of SBM to account
for the evidence of successful practices. Conclusive findings suggest
that the reforms in education governance systems must be linked
tightly with the changes in curriculum and instruction.
Thus, the inception of K to 12 must be integrated in the organizational
change.
SBM reform for successful practice
51. To better highlight the children/learner as the center of
SBM practice.
To encompass the diverse realities of learning contexts
defined and uniquely occurring within specific geographic,
social, cultural, economic, political and environmental
make up of the contemporary society.
It is along these views that SBM as a reform thrust has
been revised and broadened for the following reasons:
SBM reform for successful practice
52. To effectively carry out reforms in curriculum (Kto12)
To assimilate the school to the system and way of
life of the community
To redirect all efforts to support improvement of
learning outcomes
SBM reform for successful practice
53. The K to 12 Program
Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education with
six years of primary education,
four years of Junior High School, and
two years of Senior High School (SHS)
Aims to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills,
develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education,
middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.

of SBM, their organizational Structure, interrelationships and
interdependence, as well as their characteristics and underlying
principles.

55. To enhance commitment of education stakeholders at all levels
to their responsibilities and accountabilities in realizing the
education outcomes for children.
To further promote shared governance between the school and
the community;
To integrate accreditation into SBM for a seamless assessment
of a school system;
To improve the school system’s capacity to be on rack on
achieving the EFA/ MDG and sustain good performance.
The Revised SBM Framework
57. Accreditation is a proposed system by the
Philippines to allow self-renewing of self-regulating
schools to achieve ‘autonomous’ status-meaning it
recognize the learning community (the school and
the community as self-sustaining) with system
suitable for their context.
This will also rationalized the incentive system
initially proposed as ‘higher grant allocation’, ‘fiscal
autonomy’ and special allocation for allocation
outlay’

A three-Scale of Practice has been devised to ensure that SBM works
toward improved learning outcomes-ultimate goal of SBM.
68. SBM assessment aims to:
determine the level of the SBM practices
of the school;
provide the school a sound basis on
which to establish its plan of action;
improve the SBM support systems
through interventions that the school and
other administrative levels of the
Department may introduce; and
determine the effectiveness of SBM

have a clear sense of direction through
Vision Statement.
–shared sense of direction derived through
a visioning process involving all members
of the school.
Once affirmed, it needs to be able to be
articulated by all.
-when achieved everyone can then align
their efforts behind the vision and by a
process of self-reference and professional
development the school will reach.

81. CHANGE at School
By implementing change,
we can attempt to bridge
the educational dichotomy
and link the importance of
structure with the need for
creativity.
Change needs to happen
continually in small
evolutionary steps. Surely,
too, there is need for it in
education.
82. With SBM, the Government devolves
more responsibilities to the schools and
provides them with greater autonomy
and flexibility in managing their
operations and resources and planning
for school development.
As the quality of school education has a
direct impact on students’ learning
outcomes, the quid pro quo to additional
autonomy is that schools have to be
more transparent in their operations and
accountable to the community for their
performance and proper use of funds.
Why implement school-based management
(SBM)?
1.
83. With school-based
management, schools will
develop a management
system to ensure the quality
of teaching and learning.
This framework of
governance is school-based,
student-centered and
quality-focused.
Why implement school-based management
(SBM)?
2.
84. Introducing a participatory
governance framework involving
school sponsoring bodies, the
principal, teachers, parents, alumni
and independent community
members is essential, as direct
participation in school decision-
making and different input of these
key stakeholders help enhance
transparency and accountability of
school governance and contribute
to more effective school operation.
Why implement school-based management
(SBM)?
3.
85. To promote quality education, a
school should adopt a model of
teaching and learning and a
management framework that suit
the needs of the students and
the community.
Through school-based
management, the school
develops its own characteristics,
establishes its culture and
identity, seeks self-improvement
and pursues excellence.
Why implement school-based management
(SBM)?
4.
86. To ensure stakeholders’ direct participation
in school management, the Government has
introduced legislation to lay down rules and
regulations governing its implementation.
Under the Education Ordinance (Ordinance),
every aided school is required to set up an
incorporated management committee (IMC)
to manage the school. To protect managers
from civil liabilities, the Ordinance also
provides that a manager shall not incur any
civil liability in respect of anything done by him in good faith in the
performance of any function of office as the manager of an IMC school.
Moreover, the Education Bureau has offered support measures to help
schools put in place this new model of governance.
Why implement school-based management
(SBM)?
5.
87. Participation of stakeholders in
school management and policy-
making is a world-wide trend. The
implementation of SBM brings the
education system into a new era
to tie in with global developments.
It contributes to the personal
growth of students, builds a
competent workforce to sustain
the social, economic and cultural
development and further
enhances our competiveness
internationally.

B. Rationale The review mission reports of DepEd’s development partners cite that while most of the schools implemented SBM as reflected in the increase in number of schools with SIP, those receiving grants and MOOE on time, and those who conducted SBM assessment, systemic issues were noted in the operationalization of policies and guidelines at the field level.

There is a possibility that the SBM Assessment process may be reduced to “bean counting” that over-emphasizes the collection of prescribed documentation, the compliance to some of which may not be within the control of the schools and are not reflective of a functional system of good practices. While DepED reports that 100% of school heads in many divisions had been oriented on SBM, their practical understanding of the concept is not as palpable. These findings indicate that the system is beset with problems particularly in terms of stakeholders’ appreciation and understanding of SBM. In the assessment process for example, the focus was narrowed to complying with the documents in the SBM Checklist leading to accounting for quantitative scores only to assess the level of practice. Thus practices which may be qualitatively different such as behavior and attitude towards SBM implementation which are not evidenced by a document are
A Child- and Community – centered Education System which is the “core value” in making education more relevant and child-centered, increasing access and quality, and strengthening partnerships with community stakeholders; and design a seamless framework for SBM-IP Ed-PASBE complementation and harmonize standards, implementation strategies, performance indicators, and measures as well as target outcomes;
PSBM is development of school-based management with community participation.
