Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH)

The Department of Education (DepEd) has issued an Order titled the National Adoption
and Implementation of the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH), in order
to fulfill their commitment of supporting school heads to enhance their performance in schools.
This initiative aims to improve the quality of teachers and consequently enhance the achievement
of learners.
The National Qualifying Examination for School Heads (NQESH), also known as the
Principal’s Test, serves as a mechanism for selecting school heads in the public education sector.
The Principal’s Test is open to all interested applicants for Principal I positions.
The DepEd recognizes the importance of professional standards in the continuing
professional development and advancement of school heads based on the principles of career-long
learning. The DepEd upholds that quality student learning is contingent upon quality teachers, who
are supported by quality school leaders.
The National Competency-Based Standards for School Heads (NCBSSH) need to be
reconsidered in light of the modifications resulting from national and global frameworks such as
the K to 12 Basic Education Program, ASEAN Integration, globalization, and the evolving nature
of 21st-century learners.
This policy institutionalizes the PPSSH as a public statement of professional accountability
for school heads to reflect on and assess their own practice as they aspire for and pursue
professional development. This policy is consistent with the implementation of the Philippine
Professional Standards for Teachers adopted through DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2017, the
transformation of the National Educators Academy of the Philippines pursuant to DO 011, s. 2019,
and the implementation of the Philippine Professional Standards for Supervisors (PPSS).
The development and validation work of the PPSSH, led by the Bureau of Human Resource
and Organizational Development (BHROD) and the National Educators Academy of the
Philippines (NEAP), in collaboration with the Philippine National Research Center for Teacher
Quality (RCTQ), has ensured that this set of standards is K to 12 aligned, internationally
comparable, and responsive to the career aspirations of school heads.
The PPSSH aims to:
a. set out clear expectations of school heads along well-defined career stages of
professional development from beginning to exemplary practice;
b. engage school heads to actively embrace a continuing effort to attain high levels of
proficiency; and
c. provide support for professional learning and development, help identify development
needs and facilitate uniform assessment of performance.

National Adoption and Implementation of the Philippine
Professional Standards for School Heads
Rationale
The role of school heads as stewards of educational institutions is crucial in creating a
conducive and supportive environment for effective teaching and learning. By providing effective
leadership and management, the Department of Education (DepEd) can foster competent teachers
and well-rounded students who possess 21st-century skills, strong values, and the ability to
contribute to the progress and development of the country. This aligns with DepEd’s vision of
producing “Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose values and competencies
enable them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to building the nation” (DO
No. 36, s. 2013).
While teacher quality is crucial in enhancing learner achievement, effective leadership is
also necessary for significant changes to occur. According to the Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development (OECD, 2018, p.20), an education system's quality relies on the
quality of its teachers, but the quality of teachers cannot exceed the quality of the policies that
shape their work environment in schools and guide their selection, recruitment, and development.
With the changes brought about by national and global frameworks such as the K to 12
Basic Education Program, ASEAN Integration, globalization, and the evolving nature of 21st-
century learners, it is imperative to reconsider the National Adoption and Implementation of the
National Competency-Based Standards for School Heads (NCBSSH) outlined in DO No. 32, s.
2010. This requires a review of the competency standards to ensure that they are responsive to the
new demands resulting from changes in the education environment.
The Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH) introduces a
continuum of professional practice that supports school heads to pursue career progression amid
various national and international reforms such as the K to 12 Basic Education Program and the
Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers, as well as ASEAN integration, globalization, and
the changing character of the 21st-century learners.
Scope of the Policy
This DepEd Order directs the adoption and implementation of the PPSSH in the
Department.
School heads or principals in private schools are highly encouraged to adopt the PPSSH.
Definition of Terms
For the purposes of this policy, the terms below shall be defined and understood as:
Domain

Policy Statement
The Department institutionalizes a set of professional standards for school heads, which
articulates the professional practice expected of a quality school head. The PPSSH shall be the
foundation of relevant human resource systems, policies, guidelines and mechanisms, including
the recruitment, selection and placement, performance appraisal, rewards and recognition and
talent management of school heads, and the basis for all their professional development programs.
Through the PPSSH, DepEd commits to:
a. support school heads in the performance of their mandates and roles in the regions,
schools divisions and/or schools, including the improvement of teacher quality, and, eventually,
learner achievement;
b. promote the continuing professional development and advancement of school heads
based on the principles of career-long learning; and
c. help school heads reflect on and assess their own practice as they aspire for and pursue
professional development.
The PPSSH Framework

The PPSSH Framework adheres to the following principles:
a. It is learner-centered;
b. It emphasizes building and strengthening a network of stakeholders for school and
people effectiveness;
c. It reflects the understanding of problems and issues at the school and the need to address
them;
Page | 4
d. It focuses on developing high-quality instruction, developing a strong school culture,
and ensuring job-embedded professional development for school personnel;
e. It reflects values and concepts in promoting school success;
f. It regards supervision as a crucial organizational behavior in school management;
g. It highlights the importance of accountability and transparency of school heads; and,
h. It is anchored on the principles of inclusivity.
The PPSSH defines professional standards that constitute a quality school head. It shall
serve as a public statement of professional accountability of school heads. It sets out what school
heads are expected to know, be able to do, and value as they progress in their profession. It provides
a common language for high-impact leadership expected of school heads to guide individual
professional reflections, as well as professional discussions among educational leaders and other
stakeholders, and to inform the provision of professional learning and development for school
heads.
The PPSSH Framework (Figure 1) depicts the synergy between maximizing school
effectiveness and ensuring people effectiveness through a broad sphere of instructional and
administrative practices stipulated in the five domains of the PPSSH:
a. Leading Strategically,
b. Managing School Operations and Resources,
c. Focusing on Teaching and Learning,
d. Developing Self and Others, and
e. Building Connections.
The five domains constitute a broad conceptual sphere of leadership practices for all school
heads. The placement of learners at the center of the framework emphasizes the important role of
school heads for the improvement of learner achievement.

duties and approved by the school principal.
484. Answer: A
Rationalization: RA 4670 or Magna Carta for Public School Teachers guarantees the right of
public school teachers to due process. This includes the right to be informed of the charges against
them, the right to defend themselves, and the right to a fair and impartial hearing. In this scenario,
Ms. Garcia was not given these rights before she was dismissed from service, therefore her right
to due process was violated.

collection of student work that demonstrates their growth and development over time. By
reviewing a student's portfolio, teachers can gain insight into their strengths and weaknesses, and
adjust their instruction accordingly.
495. Answer: D. Eliminates the need for traditional assessments

Rationalization: Portfolios do not eliminate the need for traditional assessments, but rather
complement them. Portfolios provide a more comprehensive picture of student progress, allowing
teachers to make more informed decisions about how to support their students.
496. Answer: B. By having students choose their own goals

Rationalization: When students are involved in setting their own goals, they are more invested in
the learning process and are more likely to take ownership of their progress. Portfolios can be used
as a tool for students to reflect on their progress towards their goals and identify areas for growth.
497. Answer: B. Feedback helps students understand their strengths and areas for improvement
Rationalization: Feedback is an essential component of the portfolio process. It helps students
understand their strengths and areas for improvement, and provides them with specific information
on how to improve their work.
498. Answer: C. By using an online platform to share the portfolio

Rationalization: An online platform can be an effective way to share student portfolios with parents
and other stakeholders. It provides easy access to student work, and allows for comments and
feedback from multiple users.
499. Answer: A. One-way communication is the least effective approach to stakeholder

engagement as it does not allow for feedback or dialogue. Effective stakeholder engagement
involves two-way communication, engaging stakeholders when necessary, and collaborative
engagement.
500. Answer: A. A student’s parent is an example of a stakeholder in a school setting as they have
a vested interest in the education and well-being of their child.
