guides the education system to achieve its shared vision, mission and goals
making it responsive to the context of a diverse environment.

Inclusive, and responsive accountability system is in place, collaboratively

SBM-PASBE Operational Framework (DepEd Order #54, 2012)
1. A school in Level 1, Developing, means that the school is developing structures and
mechanisms with acceptable level and extent of community participation and impact
on learning.
2. A school in Level II, Maturing, means that the school is introducing and sustaining
continuous improvement process that integrates wider community participation and
significantly improve performance and learning outcomes.
3. A school in Level III, Advanced (Accredited) , means that the school is ensuring the
production of intended outputs/outcomes and meeting all standards of a system fully
integrated in the local community and is self-renewing and self- sustaining.
The heart of all these elements, both human and non-human is the school head, the
school leader. This means that all these factors that to school effectiveness come forth only
with a dynamic and a transformational school leader.

IV. Insights:
The Philippine Accreditation System for Basic Education (PASBE), A Child-and-
Community - Centered Education Systems (ACCESS) and the Human and Non - Human Factors
for School Effectiveness shares a common vision - mission - goal to make the teaching and
learning in school effective and productive. They strive to encompass the diversity of learners,
to enhance the responsibility and accountability commitment of the stakeholders, to improve
the school system effectiveness in implementing their goal and sustaining good performance.
And this organization and factors are just guides to make this things happen it’s all depends
on the school and their leaders to work together in achieving this goal specially the school
head because decision making is his/her work no matter how hardworking the members are
if the head don’t appreciate it and disregard them only hearing in his/her own thought it’s all
worthless. As what the famous saying goes by, “No man is an island,” every individual needs
each other to survive and make a progress, just like in school every one should work together,
to blend together and the need of everyone’s participation to make the school peaceful and
where the students and teachers learn and teach at ease, and where the parents are
comfortably send their son/daughter to school .
