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
A broad conceptual sphere of school leadership practices defined by specific strands in the
Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads;
Page | 3
Indicator
Concrete, observable and measurable school head behavior/ practice covered in every
strand in the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads;
Professional Standards
Professional practice expected of quality professionals to achieve at every stage of their
career;
School Head
Person “responsible for administrative and instructional supervision of a school or cluster
of schools” (Republic Act 9155, Section 4); and
Strand
A specific dimension of practice under a domain in the Professional Standards.
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.

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.
