CHAPTER 1
Department of Education Mission, Vision, and Core Values C
Statement H
This chapter presents the documentation of matters that transpired during
A
the Vision Sharing1 activity. These include the list of the School Planning P
Team’s (SPT’s) aspirations for the school and learners, their T
understanding of DepEd VMV and Core Values as well as their
commitments based on these understanding. E
Another important document that must be included here is the list of roles
R
and responsibilities of all SPT members, as discussed and agreed upon
during the brainstorming session.
1
Lastly, the SPT timetable in the preparation, implementation, and
monitoring of the SIP and AIP must be presented in this chapter to serve as
guide to all SPT members and the school-community at large.

Content Check:
 Documentation of the Vision Sharing activity, their aspirations for the
school and learners and their insights on DepEd VMV and Core Values
 List of roles and responsibilities of all SPT members
 SPT Timetable

Notes:
 Suggested number of pages: 1 to 2
 Additional references: ESIP Guidebook (pages 4-10) and
SIP Instructional Video 1 (Preparatory Phase)

The Vision Sharing is a reflective activity where the SPT internalizes the DepEd VMV and Core Values.
The School Head or other SPT member facilitates the activity to draw out the aspirations of all
members that will contribute to the attainment of school goals and objectives.

CHAPTER 2
Assess C
H
This chapter presents a brief discussion on the school and community data
that were gathered, organized, and assessed using the templates provided in A
the ESIP Guidebook. The school must ensure that these data are accurate P
and updated to be able to capture the school’s current needs. In the
discussion, emphasize the connection of these data with the school’s current T
situation. E
It has five (5) sections, namely: school’s current situation, priority R
improvement areas, general objectives, targets, and root causes.

School’s Current Situation 2

Building on the results of data assessment, seamlessly connect the initial
list of improvement areas to create a picture of the school’s current
situation. Use the following references in writing this Section:

 School-Community Data Templates (Annexes 1A to 2C): present the

alarming data that need to be prioritized for improvement, which
affect the performance of school and learners.
 Gap Analysis Template (Annex 3):identify the gaps that need to be
prioritized for improvement and how these affect the attainment of the
Division targets.

The school may also highlight their achievements in areas where they excel
or perform highly, whether at the district, division, region, or national level.
This should not exceed one (1) page.

Priority Improvement Areas

In this Section, present the List of Priority Improvement Areas (PIAs) as a

result of the 5-point scale ranking provided in the ESIP Guidebook (page 13).
A sample listing will suffice. Use Annex 4 or Identifying Priority Improvement
Areas matrix in presenting the list of PIAs.

In the Planning Worksheet (Annex 5), align the PIAs in column 3with the
appropriate learning stages and intermediate outcomes in column 2,
e.g. PIA is “low English literacy” (column 3) must be aligned with IO5
“learners attain learning standards” (column 2).

General Objectives

In the Planning Worksheet, write the corresponding General Objectives in

column 4 for the identified PIAs. Ensure that these objectives are SMART
and responsive to the PIAs.

School Improvement Plan 2

 C
There are processes involved prior to the conduct of the actual Root Cause
Analysis (RCA), like the conduct of FGDs and interviews with learners and H
other stakeholders, and analysis of specific school process involved in the A
assigned PIA to identify storm clouds and area of focus. These are not
required to be included in this Section, but shall be part of the Annexes of P
the SIP. T
A focused problem/area can have several root causes, write in this Section E
the results of the Prioritization of Root Causes using the checklist R
provided in Annex 8 (ESIP Guidebook, page 98). Write in column 5 of the
Planning Worksheet the identified root causes for the PIAs.
2
In the Planning Worksheet, write the target(s) for each objective statement,
and identify if this will happen in Year 1, Year 2, or Year 3 of the SIP cycle
(columns 6th to 8th).

The targets must be written in quantitative form.

Planning Worksheet

To enlighten the readers who were not involved in the SIP preparation, write
three to four sentences describing the contents of the fully accomplished
Planning Worksheet.

Content Check:
 School’s Current Situation (brief discussion) with Initial List of Improvement
Areas (PIAs)
 List of PIAs (Annex 4)
 Annex 5 or Planning Worksheet - completely filled out with the following
information: priority improvement areas, general objectives, targets, and
root causes.

Notes:
 Suggested number of pages: 3-5
 Additional references: ESIP Guidebook (pages 11-21) and
SIP Instructional Video 2 (Assess Phase)

A. Project Work Plan & Budget Matrix
A
In this Section, present the List of Solutions for the identified root causes. P
These identified solutions are those that have satisfied the criteria provided
in Step 5 of the ESIP Guidebook (page 23). Present a matrix containing root T
causes and corresponding solution. E
Attached copies of the Project Work Plan and Budget Matrix (Annex9) R
prepared for the identified solutions. One project work plan per solution,
which contains the following information: problem statement, project
objective statement, activities, and output. 3

The duration of projects vary depending on the timelines set for the
identified PIAs. It is important to make these projects manageable to
provide the team with immediate results that the school can celebrate (if
these are successful) or improve (if these do not meet the target). Thus, in
cases where there are major projects that would need a long time to
implement, the Project Team should subdivide this into smaller, more
manageable projects.

B. Annual Implementation Plan (AIP)

Another important document that will be attached is the Annual

Implementation Plan (Annex 10) for Year 1, the SIP’s operational plan. It
contains specific projects that will be undertaken by the school in a
particular year, which include the following: outputs, activities, schedule,
required resources, source of fund, and the individuals accountable for the
conduct of these projects. It also includes operational cost such as but not
limited to utilities, supplies and materials, etc. that are considered eligible
expenditures in the existing MOOE guidelines.

The preparation of AIP is by Fiscal Year (Quarters 1 to 4) plus additional

Quarter 1 of the following year to ensure that all activities from January to
March will be planned, which is based on the amount of monthly MOOE.

CHAPTER 4 C
Monitoring and Evaluation H
The SPT will monitor progress in the middle and end of project
A
implementation period depending on the timelines set by the Project Teams. P
In longer projects, the SPT will have to monitor more than twice. T
Schedules of monitoring must be indicated in the suggested Project E
Monitoring Report Form (ESIP Guidebook, page 29). To help inform the
SPT of the status of their projects, the Project Teams will submit their
R
respective progress reports using this template.

Attach the Project Monitoring Report Forms of all projects for Year 1 AIP, 4
which contains the following information: names of project, project
objectives and targets, and the proposed dates of monitoring.

Write 2-4 sentences describing the Project Monitoring Report Form to

enlighten the readers who were not involved in the preparation of SIP.
