Abstract:

The research focused on implementing the Enhanced School Improvement Plan of the secondary schools in the Division of Bayugan City for the 2016-2018 and 2019- 2021 cycles. The mixed-method research design, or the Concurrent Triangulation method, was used to determine the level of compliance by the respondent planning teams with the prescribed planning process of the Enhanced Improvement Plan and the quality of the 2019-2021 Enhanced School Improvement Plan. Based on the findings of the study, the School Planning Team (SPT) generally knows the planning process and the different steps required how to achieve the desired goal of the school in crafting the E-SIP as manifested by its highly complied rating. As to the level of compliance of the prescribed processes, the SPT has adapted and conformed to the preparatory activities and plan phase but only complied in the Assess and Act Phase, which could be attributed to the various actions implemented by the department, which could mean that the SPT was not able to follow what had been indicated in E-SIP fully. The schools can likewise conduct vision sharing on the school’s strategic goals; conduct vision sharing to internalize DepEd’s vision, mission, and core values; validate school data by listening to the voice of the learners and stakeholders and other pertinent activities as indicated in the E-SIP which are deemed necessary for the improvement of E-SIP. To the Division Office, School Administrators, and School Planning Team, they must ensure the allocation of funds for programs and projects articulated in the next E-SIPs, and to ensure that funds already allocated to such projects are utilized in their actual implementation.
