Leadership and Management Practices of Multi-grade School Heads in the Division of Camarines Norte
Abstract
This study examined the leadership and management practices of Multi-grade School Heads in Camarines Norte through the lens of the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH) Domains. The research questions address the School Heads' profiles, leadership practices, the relationship between profiles and leadership practices, challenges, and opportunities in managing multi-grade schools. Using a descriptive-correlation research methodology, the study found that most School Heads were aged 40-44, with a majority having MA Units but no college degrees. All PPSSH Domains were consistently practiced by the School Heads, with specific domains showing significant relationships with age, educational attainment, and plantilla position. Challenges included differentiated instruction in multi-grade classrooms and difficulties in remote areas, while opportunities were found in professional reflection and learning. Based on these findings, a comprehensive action plan was developed to enhance leadership and management practices, targeting the PPSSH Domains. The plan suggests tailored training for School Heads with 1-3 years of experience, promotion, and monitoring of PPSSH, considering age and education in program design, supporting professional reflection and learning, implementing the comprehensive plan based on PPSSH, and conducting further research to assess interventions. Overall, the study highlights multi-grade school heads' effective fulfillment of educational leadership roles and offers practical recommendations for improving their practices to enhance educational outcomes.
