Proposed Action Plan to enhance Implementation of School-Based Management

in the Public Secondary Schools in the District of Hinoba-an

Rationale

According to Herman and Herman (1993), the best way to ensure improvement in

education outcome is to focus on individual school building which is managed by the

principal who is the key instructional leader. Likewise, business and industry want

schools to improve in order that workers will be more productive and intuitive which will

in turn improve the competitiveness of the business and ultimately enhance our economy.

On the other hand, in terms of advantages of SBM, Herman and Herman (1993, as

cited by AASA (1998), SBM: a) draws on the expertise and competence of those who

work in schools to make decisions to improve learning; b) gives teachers, staff, and

community increased input into decisions; c) improves moral as staff see they can have

an immediate impact on their environment; d) shifts the emphasis of staff development,

since teachers are directly involved in determining what they need; e) focuses the

accountability for decisions; f) brings both financial and instructional resources in line

with instructional goal; g) provides better services and programs to students; h) nurtures

new leaders at all levels; and i) and increases the quality and quantity of communication,

of which more is likely to be informal such as face to face.

The aforementioned rationale and advantages of SBM necessitate an enhanced

program to make it more effective. This propose enhancement program will be presented

to the respondent schools and the Division of Negros Occidental for their reference and

future basis of improving SBM practices in their respective schools.
