The efficiency and effectiveness of the services that DepEd offers to the public largely depend on
the performance of its human resources. Hence, the need for sound selection, good management
and the continuous development of its manpower.
1. Personnel Management
Coverage of the Civil Service
There are two general categories of services in government as provided for in Section
6, Chapter 2, Book V, Executive Order 292.These are the career service and the non-
career service.
1. Career Service- Entrance in the career service is based on merit and fitness
determined as far as practicable by competitive examinations, as based on highly
technical qualifications. Persons appointed to positions in the career service have
opportunities for advancement to higher career positions and they enjoy security of
tenure.
Positions in the career service are grouped into three major levels:
a) The First Level Positions include electrical, trades, crafts, and custodial
positions, entrance to which requires less than four (4) years of college work.
The nature of work sub-professional, or non-supervisory.
b) The Second Level Positions include professional, technical and scientific
positions which involve professional, technical and scientific work in a non-
supervisory or supervisory capacity and requires at least four(4) years of
college work.
c) The Third Level Positions cover those in the Career Executive Service which
include: undersecretary, assistant secretary, bureau director (department-wide
and bureau-wide), assistant regional director (department-wide and bureau-
wide), chief department service, schools division-superintendents, assistant
schools division superintendents, and other officials of equivalent rank.
Employment Process
The employment process includes three (3) stages: (1) recruitment, (2) selection, (3)
appointment. Before employment the personnel and staff of this department undergo these stages.
School Management and Daily
Operations
STAGE I. RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is the process of searching for and identifying job candidates in sufficient
quantity and quality to meet current and organizational needs.
Filing of Applications. At this level, the applicant shall write a letter of intent and send it
to the Personnel Office or directly to the head of the concerned office together with the required
documents. Positions in different levels require different documents.
For the first and second level positions: For the first and second level positions, the following
documents are to be submitted:
LET/Teachers Board Rating and PRC Registration/ License
Transcript of Records
Service Records, if one has teaching experience
CS Form 212 in two (2) copies with the latest 2x 2 ID picture
(DepEd Order No. 2, s. 2002)
STAGE II: SELECTION
Selection of employees/ teachers for appointment in the DepEd is anchored on the principles
of merit, competence, fitness and quality. It is open to all who are qualified, regardless of gender,
civil status, disability, religion, ethnicity or political affiliation.
Ranking. The head of the office where the vacancy exist gathers all applicants and prepares
a rank list of applicants to include all qualified next-in-rank employees in the office where the
vacancy exists and all other qualified applicants.
The following determinate factors are considered:
Performance
Education and training
Experience and Outstanding Accomplishment
Psycho-Social Attributes and Personality Traits Potential
For Teachers: The school Committee chaired by the school head or department head shall
receive all applications and validates the documents submitted by the applicants. The Division
Selection Committee administers the English Proficiency Test, evaluates the applicants, conducts
interview, and observes demonstration teaching. Then it consolidates individual ratings and
makes the final ranking of all applicants for inclusion in the registry of all qualified applicants
(RQA) for submission and approval of the Superintendent.
School Management and Daily
Operations
Pooling. A registry of qualified teacher-applicants for every elementary school and for
every secondary school is established in every division office. The RD is furnished a copy of the
registry or pool of qualified teacher-applicants.
The HRMO shall act as the Secretariat for the PSB of the first, second, and third levels.
The Secretary/RD/SDS shall ensure equal opportunity for men and women to be represented in
the PSB for all levels.
The following positions are no longer screened by the PSB:
Substitute appointment
Appointment to entry laborer positions
Appointment to personal and primarily confidential positions
Renewal of temporary appointment
Employment Status
a) Permanent Status is issued to a person who meets the minimum qualifications
including the appropriate eligibility and all requirements of the position to
which he/she is being appointed.
b) Substitute Status is issued when the regular incumbent of a position is
temporarily unable to perform the duties of the position, as when he/she is on
approved leave of absence, suspension, scholarship grant or secondment. A
substitute appointment is issued only if the leave of absence of the incumbent

General Rules
Va cation leave
Tardiness and under time are deducted from vacation leave credits and will be charged
against sick leave credits, unless the under time is for health reasons, supported by
medical certificate and the application for leave.
Vacation and sick leave will be cumulated and any part of it which may not be taken
within the calendar years may be carried over to the succeeding years.
Computation of vacation and sick leave will be made on the basis of one (1) day vacation
leave and one (1) day sick leave for every 24 days of actual service.
All absences in excess of accumulated vacation or sick leave credits will be without
pay. To compute ones salary in a given month:
Salary = Monthly Salary x No. of days
LWOP Calendar Days
However, in case of continuous absence for over ten (10) working days, the divisor in the
above formula shall be the actual number of working days instead of calendar days.
When one has already exhausted his sick leave credits, he/she can cause his vacation
leave but not vice versa.

Policy and Guidelines on the Proper Distribution, Care, Recording, Retrieval and Disposal of
Textbooks (TXs) with the Teachers Manual (TMs) and other Instrumental Materials (IMs)
(DepED Order No.14, s.2012)
a) Textbooks Issuance and Distribution Within the School
TXs and TMs must each be assigned a property code (DepED Order No.
26, s. 2007)
The SDS and SH should ensure that teachers accept TXs and TMs issued
to them by the school supply officer/ designated property custodian for the
use of the pupils.
Teachers are encouraged to read to the students Take Care of the Book
b) Textbook Inventory in the Classroom
Teachers shall require the students to fill out the Book Record Form
School supply officers/ designated property custodian are encouraged to
conduct an inventory on TXs at least after every grading period or at the
end of a semester.
c) Textbook Retrieval or Loss
Formula for the computation of loss TXs (DepED order No. 25, s. 2003)
Amount to be paid= acquisition cost depreciation amount where
the depreciation amount is equal to the acquisition Cost divided by 5
multiplied by the number of years the lost TX or TM has been used.
The schools goal is to keep losses of each textbook title at 1% or less. The
Principal/SH should closely monitor retrieval procedures and involve the
whole community in reminding students to return TXs before the end of the
school year.
d) Textbook Disposal
The SH should ensure that all TXs/TMs for condemnation/ disposal are no
longer in the inventory list.
Condemn old TXs/TMs procured by the Central office or other sources
(LGUs, SEF, Local School Board, etc.) that have been replaced or will be
replaced by universal titles.

Participating in extracurricular activities like scouting, alay lakad, etc.
Conducting meetings
Balancing these and other business requirements can be a difficult and daunting process.
Thats where management systems can help, by unlocking the potential in the organization.
Implementing an effective management system can help you to:
Problem solving
Problem solving is a mental process which is the concluding part of the larger problem
process that includes problem finding and problem shaping where a problem is defined as a
state or desire for the reaching of a definite goal from a present condition that either is not
directly moving toward the goal, is far from it or needs more complex logic for finding a
missing description of conditions or steps toward the goal. Considered the most complex of
intellectual functions, problem solving has been defined as a higher-order cognitive process
that requires the modulation and control of more routine or fundamental skills. Problem solving
has two major domains: mathematical problem solving and personal problem solving where in
the second, some difficulty or barrier is encountered. Further problem solving occurs when
moving from a given state to a desired goal state is needed for either living organisms or an
artificial intelligence system.
DECISION MAKING
Decision Making can be regarded as the mental process (cognitive process) resulting in
the selection of a course of action among several alternative scenarios. Every decision making
process produces a final choice. The output can be an action or an opinion of choice.
Overview
Human performance in decision terms has been a subject of active research from several
perspectives. From a psychological perspective, it is necessary to examine individual decisions
in the context of a set of needs, preferences an individual has and values they seek. From a
cognitive perspective, the decision making process must be regarded as a continuous process
integrated in the interaction with the environment. From a normative perspective, the analysis
of individual decisions is concerned with the logic of decision making and rationality and the
invariant choice it leads to.
Yet, at another level, it might be regarded as a problem solving activity which is
terminated when a satisfactory solution is reached. Therefore, decision making is a reasoning
or emotional process which can be rational or irrational, can be based on explicit assumptions
or tacit assumptions.
School Management and Daily
Operations
One must keep in mind that most decisions are made unconciously. In a controlled
environment, such as a classroom, instructors encourage students to weigh pros and cons before
making a decision. However in the real world, most of our decisions are made unconsciously in
our mind because frankly, it would take too much time to sit down and list the pros and cons of
each decision we must make on a daily basis.
Logical decision making is an important part of all science-based professions, where
specialists apply their knowledge in a given area to making informed decisions. For example,
medical decision making often involves making a diagnosis and selecting an appropriate
treatment. Some research using naturalistic methods shows, however, that in situations with
higher time pressure, higher stakes, or increased ambiguities, experts use intuitive decision
making rather than structured approaches, following a recognition primed decision approach to fit
a set of indicators into the experts experience and immediately arrive at a satisfactory course of
action without weighing alternatives. Recent robust decision efforts have formally integrated
uncertainty into the decision making process. However, Decision Analysis recognized and
included uncertainties with a structured and rationally justifiable method of decision making
since its conception in 1964.
A major part of decision making involves the analysis of finite set of alternatives described
in terms of evaluative criteria. These criteria may be benefit or cost in nature. Then the problem
might rank these alternatives in terms of how attractive they are to the decision maker when all
the criteria are considered simultaneously. Another goal might be to just find the best alternative
or determine the relative total priority of each alternative.(for instance, if alternatives represent
projects competing for funds) when all the criteria are considered simultaneously. Solving such
problems is the focus of multi criteria decision (MCDA) also known as multi-criteria decision
making (MCDM).
Problem Analysis
Analyze performance, what should the results be, against what they
actually are
Problems are merely deviations from performance standards; Problems must
be precisely identified and described; Problems are caused by a change
from distinctive features
Something can always be used to distinguish between what hasnt been
effected by a cause
School Management and Daily
Operations
Causes to problems can be deduced from relevant changes found in
analyzing the problem
Most likely cause to a problem is the one that exactly explains all the facts
Decision Making
Objectives must first be established
Objectives must be classified and placed in order of importance
Alternative actions must be developed
The alternatives must be evaluated against all the objectives
The alternative that is able to achieve all the objectives is the tentative
decision
The tentative decision is evaluated for more possible consequences
The decisive actions are taken, and additional actions are taken to prevent
any adverse consequences from becoming problems and starting both
systems (problem analysis and decision making) all over again
There are steps that are generally followed that result in a decision model
that can be used to determine an optimal production plan
In a situation featuring conflict, role-playing is helpful for predicting
decisions to be made by involved parties.
Decision Planning
Making a decision without planning is fairly common, but does not often end well. Planning
allows for decisions to be made comfortably and in a smart way. Planning makes decision making
a lot more simpler than it is. Decision will get four benefits out of planning:
1. Planning give chance to the establishment of independent goals. It allows for a
conscious and directed series of choices.
2. Planning provides a standard of measurement. It is a measurement of whether you
are going towards or further away from your goal.
3. Planning converts values to action. You think twice about the plan and decide what
will help advance your plan best.
4. Planning allows limited resources to be committed in an orderly way. Always govern
the use of what is limited to you (e.g. money, time, etc.)

Everyday techniques
Some known decision-making techniques include:
Pros and Cons: Listing the advantages and disadvantages of each option,
popularized by Plato and Benjamin Franklin; Contrast the costs and benefits
of all alternatives; Also called Rational decision making.
Simple Prioritization: Choosing the alternative with the highest probability-
weighted utility for each alternative (see Decision Analysis)
Satisfying: Examining alternatives until an acceptable one is found.
Elimination by Aspects: Choosing between alternatives using Mathematical
Psychology Technique was introduced by Amos Tversky in 1972. It is a
covert elimination process that involves comparing all available alternatives
by aspects. The decision-maker chooses an aspect; any alternative without
that aspect is eliminated. The decision-maker repeats this process with as
many aspects as needed until there remains only one alternative.
Preference Trees: In 1979 Amos Tversky and Shmuel Sattach updated
the elimination by aspects technique by presenting a more ordered and
structured way of comparing the available alternatives. This technique
compared the alternatives by presenting the aspects in a decided and
sequential order. It became a more hierarchical system in which the aspects
are ordered from general to specific.
Decision-Making Stages
There are four recognized stages or phases in the decision-making process. They are:
Orientation stage- This phase is where members meet for the first time
and start to get to know each other.
Conflict stage- Once group members become familiar with each other,
disputes, little fights and arguments occur. Group members eventually
work it out.
Emergence stage- The group begins to clear up vague opinions by talking
about them.
Reinforcement stage- Members finally make a decision, while justifying
themselves that it was the right decision.
It is said that critical norms in a group improves the quality of decisions, while the majority
of opinions (called consensus norms) do not. This is due to collaboration between one another,
and when group members get used to, and familiar with each other, they will tend to argue
and create more of a dispute to agree upon one decision. This does not mean that all group
members fully agreethey may not want to argue further just to be liked by other group
members or to fit in.

F. Applying Technology Management, Knowledge- Based
Management, Total Quality Management (TQM)
What is TQM?
TQM..
Is a people focused management system that aims at continual increase of
customer satisfaction at continually lower real cost.
Is a total systems approach (not a separate area or program), an integral part
of high level strategy; it works horizontally across functions and departments,
involves all employees, top to bottom, and extends backward and forward to
include supply chain and costumer chain.
Stresses learning and adaptation to continual change as keys to organizational
success.
PILLARS OF QUALITY
Techniques of Critical
Skills of Bill
South Worth
Quality in Education
TQM (Deming)
Focuses on cooperation rather than competition.
Cooperation allows everyone to win and create an atmosphere were all in this
together. Competition sets up winners and losers and causes friction in the
classroom.
Competition has its place as each student strives to better himself or herself and
as students recognize that they must compete in the global market place.
Systems Analysis (Senge)
Emphasis is on the team approach rather than on any individual.
Students must learn to disregard personal differences and achieve interdepen-
dence with others in work place.
Principle Centered Approach (Covey)
Focuses in a holistic, integrated, and principle-centered approach in solving
personal and professional problems.
Each one can seize the opportunity for change and know that an emphasis on
quality is the right thing to do and will benefit everyone.
The foundation of quality is respect.
Critical Skills (South Worth)
Shifts from focusing on quantity to focusing on quality.
Allows students to learn how to learn.
Basis is experiential learning through real problems.
Student acquisition of essential knowledge and the development of critical skills
have equal priority in classroom instruction.

PDCA Cycle
For a successful implementation of TQM, a clearly defined cycle for improvement is
central. This cycle, Plan-Do-Check outlines the key steps.
1. Planning- all the improvement cycles begin with planning. The objectives,
process, roles, responsibilities, resources and methods are defined before any other
activity.
2. Doing- Requires the selection and use of appropriate tools and techniques.
3. Checking- Promotes continuous improvement by its very nature.
4. Act- Keep on doing those things that will result in continuous improvement.

Challenges Ahead
The goal of SBM is the improvement of the quality of elementary education through
decentralization, in accordance to RA 9155. The task ahead for the Department of Education
is to institutionalize SBM to the rest of the public elementary schools in the country, while
sustaining the gains made by schools under TEEP which helped to develop and implement SBM
according to their own conditions, capacities, and aspirations.
