National Competency-Based Standards for School Heads
Training and Development Needs Assessment (NCBSSH-TDNA)
Basis and purpose of the NCBSSH-TDNA
The National Competency-Based Standards for School Heads Training and Development Needs
Assessment (NCBSSH-TDNA) is a mechanism to systematically determine the training and
development needs of school heads (SHs) in order to support improved practice as effective school
leaders. The competencies assessed through the NCBSSH-TDNA are based on the mandate for school
heads indicated in the RA 9155, its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), and on the national
competency standards for school heads contained in the DepEd Order No. 32 series of 2010, “The
National Adoption and Implementation of the National Competency-Based Standards for School
Heads.”
The 2010 version of this Manual for TDNASH (T&D Needs Assessment for School Heads) was
developed and used by Regions VI, VII and VIII through the STRIVE Project. The needs assessment
mechanism was an adaptation of the National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP)
assessment tool for school managers. A list of required competencies based on the mandate for
school heads was earlier developed by the NEAP for its School Leadership Experience Portfolio
(SLEP). The tool contained a rubric of behavioral indicators to assess school leaders on specific
competencies and to classify their level of performance.
The present revision is brought about by the national validation of a set of competency-based
standards that streamlined the list of competencies from the original list used by the 2010 version.
The DepEd Order No. 32, s. 2010 defines NCBSSH with a list of competency standards which can be
used as basis for the school heads’ decision making, actions and performances of their functions. In
addition to fundamental direction provided by the set of standards, there are knowledge, skills, and
values that are clarified through the indicators defined per strand on every domain. The NCBSSH
shall be used as basis for the preparation of a comprehensive training and development based on
expected tasks that will be utilized to deliver training programs to ensure efficiency, effectiveness,
and excellence of school heads’ job performance (DepEd Order No.32, s. 2010, par 2 and 3).
Moreover, the Regional Directors through the Training and Development Teams of the NEAP in the
Region (NEAP-R) are urged to manage the distribution and orientation of the adoption of the
NCBSSH of the divisions within their jurisdiction. Monitoring and evaluation shall be conducted by
the Quality Assurance and Monitoring Evaluation and Accreditation (QA-ME-A) Team of the NEAP-R
(DepEd Order No.32, s. 2010, par 4).
Therefore, the NCBSSH-TDNA tool is necessary to determine the school head’s needs for training and
development vis-à-vis the seven domains of competencies for an effective school leader. It is a selfassessment mechanism done by reflecting on past and current practices as a School Head. There
could be differing possibilities in which the school head sees a need for professional development
through this tool.
Individual results will serve as basis for the development of the School Head’s Individual Plans for
Professional Development (IPPD). Consolidated results will be utilized by the CO-NEAP, NEAP-R and
Division T&D in designing and delivering competency-based training and development programs that
are responsive to their identified needs.

The NCBSSH Framework
The NCBSSH Framework that is presented in detail in the Attachment 1 defines the different
dimensions of being an effective school head. It clearly states that an effective school head is one
who can implement continuous school improvement, who can produce better learning outcomes
among its pupils/students and who can help change institutional culture among others.
The Figure below shows the schematic presentation of the Integrated Domains with the competency
strands under each domain.

The competencies identified for the school heads are classified into seven domains for school
leadership and management which are:

Domain 1: School Leadership
Effective leadership is the core of every successful school. This domain emphasizes that
effective school leaders collaborately create a vision and establish a climate for teachers,
non-teaching personnel and learners to reach their highest level of achievement.

Domain 2: Instructional Leadership
Education reforms have created an urgent need for strong emphasis on the development of
instructional leadership skills. This domain covers those actions in instructional leadership
(e.g. assessment for learning, development and implementation, instructional supervision
and technical assistance that school heads take or delegate to others to promote good
teaching and high level learning among pupils/students.

Domain 3: Creating a Student-Centered Learning Climate
The domain requires that effective school leaders set high standards and create high
expectations for learners at the same time recognizing their achievement.

Domain 4: HR Management and Professional Development
Effective school leaders develop the skills and talents of those around them. This domain
includes the nurturing and supporting of a learning community that recruits teachers based
on NCBTS and promotes the continuous growth and development of personnel based on
IPPD and SPPD.

Domain 5: Parent Involvement and Community Partnership
Effective school heads engage in shared decision making with the community in achieving
universal participation, completion and functional literacy. This domain covers parent and
other stakeholders’ involvement to raise learners’ performance.

Domain 6: School Management and Operations
This domain covers the critical role school heads play in managing the implementation and
monitoring of their schools’ improvement plan/annual implementation plan.

Domain 7: Personal and Professional Attributes and Interpersonal Effectiveness.
Effective school leaders are models of professionalism and ethical and moral leadership. This
domain includes the development of pride in the nobility of the teaching profession.
II. The T&D Roles and Responsibilities
Regional T&D Team
The Regional T&D Team is responsible for the provision of technical assistance to the schools
divisions T&D teams in the planning and implementation of the NCBSSH-TDNA.

III. Assessment Procedures
The NCBSSH-TDNA is basically a self-appraisal tool accomplished by the School Heads themselves.
The School Heads are asked to complete a self -assessment instrument where they identify the
behaviors they have consistently demonstrated in their role as a school head across the seven
domains.
Preliminary Preparations
Prior to the commencement of the administration of the NCBSSH-TDNA, the T&D Chair and Cochairs are convened to accomplish the following tasks:

T&D team will conduct the orientation and the administration of the NCBSSH-TDNA Tool to the
school heads
The materials required for the administration of the NCBSSH-TDNA to the School Heads found in
Attachment 2 are:
 NCBSSH-TDNA Tool
 Individual SH Summary Results Template
NCBSSH-TDNA Guide and Tools
6
A Session Guide for this purpose can be seen in Attachment 4. The following considerations shall be
made during the conduct of the session:
1. Completion of the NCBSSH-TDNA will determine school heads’ training strengths and needs
in order to support improved professional competencies. The NCBSSH-TDNA results will
help the SH in the development of an Individual Plan for Professional Development (IPPD)
and will also inform the Division in designing a Master Plan for Professional Development
(MPPD) for the benefit of school managers.
2. The NCBSSH-TDNA is the initial stage of managing one’s professional growth where
individual strengths are affirmed and learning needs are purposely taken care of through a
deep sense of individual accountability for self-professional development. The NCBSSHTDNA is accomplished with the spirit of introspection or guided-reflection and that it is not
intended to evaluate performance nor a measure to compare between or among various
school heads.
3. The competencies identified in the NCBSSH-TDNA are based on the mandate for school
heads indicated in the RA 9155 and DepEd Order No. 32, series of 2010. The competencies
are classified into seven domains for school leadership and management:







Domain 1: School Leadership
Domain 2: Instructional Leadership
Domain 3: Creating a Student-centered Learning Climate
Domain 4: HR Management and Professional Development
Domain 5: Parental Involvement and Community Partnership
Domain 6: School Management and Operations
Domain 7: Personal and Professional Attributes and Interpersonal Effectiveness
4. For each domain there are a number of competencies. Each competency also has a series of
indicators which state the type of behaviors expected to be demonstrated by a school head
as they develop their professional competencies as school leaders and managers.
5. School Heads should consider each indicator and reflect on the things they have done
related to the indicators and which demonstrate what they are actually doing in their
workplace.
6. For each competency, there are four possibilities in which they will see their need for
professional development. They have to place a check () under the appropriate column
that represents their self-reflection. They will need to do this for each indicator.
7. Individual results will serve as basis for the development of their IPPD. Consolidated results
will be utilized by the CO-NEAP, NEAP-R and Division T&D in designing and delivering
competency-based training and development programs that are responsive to their
identified needs.
8. The completion of the NCBSSH-TDNA will take approximately 1-2 hours, however no time
limit is imposed.

IV. SCORING AND INTERPRETATION OF THE NCBSSH-TDNA RESULTS
Scoring Individual School Head’s Responses
It is recommended that each school Head will score his/her own responses on the tool
following the steps below.
1. For each competency there are four possible responses with corresponding scores within a
scale as shown below:
I am not doing this yet
I am doing a little of this and I need to learn more
I am doing it but I need to improve
I am doing it well and can lead others do the same
1

NCBSSH-TDNA SUMMARY RESULTS TEMPLATE attached at the end of the Tool.
5. Graph each average score on the Template using a colored pencil or Crayola.
Interpretation of Scores and Reporting Cluster Results
1. The following scale ranges with corresponding qualitative equivalents are used to interpret each
average score per domain or per strand.
Score Range
1.00 – 1.49
Not doing this yet
1.50 – 2.49
Doing a little of this and need
to learn more
2.50 – 3.49
Doing it but need to improve
3.50 –4.00
Doing it well and can lead
others do the same
Qualitative Label
Urgent Need for Training
(UNT)
Strong Need for Training
(SNT)
Need Enhancement
Training (NET)
Can Support Training
(CST)
Descriptor
The SH identifies competencies in this
range as priority needs for
professional development.
The SH identifies competencies in this
range as secondary needs for
professional development.
The SH identifies competencies in this
range as strong qualities/abilities that
may enable him/her to help in the
professional development of
colleagues.
2. School Heads should be given a copy of their own profile. Based on the results, School Heads can
recognize their need for professional development in various domains and strands of competencies
expected of them to demonstrate as effective school leaders.
3. When the School Heads have accomplished the NCBSSH-TDNA, cluster results should be made
using the template (hard copy and an e-version) provided to facilitate this process (See Attachment
5). There are three parts of the template namely:



Part I – Cluster SH Identification;
Part II – NCBSSH-TDNA Cluster Summary Sheet; and
Part III - Summary of School Heads who need training and development
4. The following are the steps for manually organizing the cluster results:
NCBSSH-TDNA Guide and Tools
9
Part I.
1. Assign each of the School Heads within a specific cluster an identifying code number
such as: SH1, SH2, SH3, until the last SH. These are entered in the first column of the
template.
2. Enter the names of SHs corresponding to the code number identified.
3. Write the school’s name beside the name of each of the SHs.
Part II.
1. Enter the individual Average Scores per strand of each School Head into the NCBSSH-TDNA
Cluster Summary Sheet.
2. Compute the simple average across all the SHs in each strand.
3. Determine the equivalent level of training need using the scale ranges below. Enter the
acronym in the last column.
1.00 – 1.49
1.50 – 2.49
2.50 – 3.49
3.50 – 4.00
Urgent Need for Training-(UNT)Strong Need for Training-(SNT)
Need Enhancement Training-(NET)
Can Support Training-(CST)
Part III.
1. Enter the average score per strand of the seven domains of each School Head.
2. Determine the number of School Heads whose average scores are below 3.50. Reflect
the number on the bottom row. This represents the number of School Heads who need
training in a particular competency strand.
Analyze the Cluster results and develop an interpretation (See Section D below). This should identify
the priority training and development needs of the School Heads within the Cluster.
Public Schools District Supervisors (PSDSs) should provide a copy of the cluster results and priority
training and development needs to the Division T&D Chair.
Consolidated NCBSSH-TDNA results gathered from groups of school heads at the Division/District
level may be analyzed in the same manner. Planners of training and development programs are
informed by the data analysis as to what priority training programs could be prepared to address low
level competencies that are most essential in the job of the school managers.
Consolidation Database for NCBSSH-TDNA
The NCBSSH-TDNA Consolidation Database allows districts and divisions to upload the electronically
consolidated results from the NCBSSH-TDNA. An individual School Head summary result as well as a
district/division profile can be generated identifying strengths and priority training and development
needs according to NCBSSH domains and competencies. Data can be analyzed and used to inform
the School Head’s development of an Individual Plans for Professional Development (IPPD) and the
Division Master Plan for Professional Development (MPPD).
The Public Schools District Supervisors (PSDSs) are responsible in managing the consolidation of the
results from all schools within their district. Results at this level should be used to inform District-led
NCBSSH-TDNA Guide and Tools
10
training and development activities for School Heads. The District level NCBSSH-TDNA consolidated
electronic results should be submitted to the Division TD Chair.
The T&D Chair at the Division level is responsible for managing the NCBSSH-TDNA Consolidation
Database at the Division level. With the support of the T&D Team, district electronic results for the
NCBSSH-TDNA are to be consolidated and used for planning and decision-making related to
provision of quality and relevant professional development activities. Results should be analyzed to
inform Division MPPDs.
V. MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF THE NCBSSH-TDNA
The T&D Chair and selected T&D members are tasked to monitor and evaluate the administration of
the NCBSSH-TDNA.
Monitoring and Evaluation mechanism and tools have been developed to support the NCBSSH-TDNA
process and consist of the:

school head. An effective school head is one who can implement continuous school improvement, who can
produce better learning outcomes among its pupils/students and who can help change institutional culture
among others.
The NCBS-SH Domains are distinctive areas which will guide school heads to be effective. Each domain is based
on the functions expected of school heads, Under each domain are competency strands and the competency
strand is broken down into a number of performance indicators. Performance indicator points to the abilities,
attitudes and underpinning knowledge which lead to competent performance.
