simply guscepss: SBM Assessment Instrument

The intent of this questionnaire is to be able determine the status of school’s SBM practices based on standards prescribed by the “Framework and Standards for Effective School-Based Management Practice towards Improved Learning Outcomes” of DepED. The inventory is to establish if the required/critical structures, processes, and skills are in place to move SBM in the school.

The use of the results is to provide data either on the progress of the school towards the next level of SBM practices or a baseline for those who are just starting the culture. The awareness of the current status of the school should be a sound basis to establish a plan of action to address certain gaps or challenges.
On an organizational scale, the results will be able to inform the appropriate DepED levels on the type, manner and depth of technical assistance to provide the school or district.

It should be noted that this checklist is NOT an evaluation of the school head or of the school.

The ultimate objective of the inventory of SBM practices is to inform school leaders’ decisions on continuous improvement of the basic education delivery systems and strategies.

“We have to be able to conclude that schools are providing what is expected, responding appropriately to what the client needs and the programs are providing what is needed.”
