Objectives and Scope

proposed guidelines for administrative skills development. This
study was conducted in fifty (50) National High Schools in Davao

hundred (200) teacher respondents and 50 school heads with a
total of 250.

method employing the quantitative and qualitative approach.

The level of administrative skills of the school heads as

perceived by the teachers is generally very good, mentioning the
three areas on technical, behavioral leadership.

The level of K to 12 curriculum implementation is also

generally very good, which statement on “Develop a clear set of
school goals and objectives” indicates a very good curricular
implementation.

relationship between the level of administrative skills and the level
of K to 12 curricular implementation of the school heads.

Findings of the interview of the school heads on the concerns

of the implementation of the spiral progression approach were
mostly positive.

The level of administrative skills is affected by the level of K

skills increases, the level of K to 12 curriculum implementation of
the school head increases. Therefore, there is a need to enhance
the administrative skills of the school heads to be more effective
and efficient in implementing the K-12 curriculum.

the spiral progression approach be reviewed by the administrators
of the Department of Education and must be implemented to the
concerned school administrators.
