Session Objectives Appreciate the Philippines WinS Program is an integrated mechanism for QA – Monitoring – Recognition Explain the process of TSA as a QA – Monitoring – Recognition Appreciate the utilization of the TSA mechanism

Discussion Points Three Star Approach as an integrated QA – Monitoring – Recognition System Process Rating scheme and Report Recognition

DepED Order No. 10, s. 2016 – Policy and Guidelines for the Comprehensive WinS Program stipulated that the Office through the School Health Division of the Bureau of Learner Support Services (BLSS) shall take the necessary strategies and actions for the overall execution of the WinS program. Alongside this responsibility is establishing a set of standards for incentives and awards to recognize outstanding program implementers It is in this context that the following guidelines and mechanisms are enumerated to provide guide and standards to the field in the implementation of the WinS Policy (DepED Order No. 10, s. 2016).

Three  Approach as an Integrated System The WinS Three-Star Approach is designed as an integrated system to ensure the quality WASH practices in Schools, thereby contributing largely to achieve sustainable improvements for “healthy schools” that support all children in their development.   It is considered a single approach to ensure: quality of WinS implementation, due diligence of monitoring for developmental reasons; and performance is recognized to further motivate continuous improvement.

Three  Approach as an Integrated System As a QA mechanism of a regular school program, all schools shall monitor their WinS implementation to ensure that the enablers for learning are in place and functional. As a Recognition system, the recognition puts premium to both the improvement efforts of the school community and on the results of the efforts themselves. As a Monitoring scheme, the integrity of data shall be given premium. Thus, a Validation of information is a pre-requisite for awarding of Recognition. The Monitoring reports of schools shall serve as basis for technical assistance of the Schools Division Office. These shall form part of the agenda for technical assistance and Schools’ Continuous Improvement Projects

Three Star Approach for WinS Implementation: STEPS For Effort / improvement: Citation of Appreciation Recognition for 3schools Seal of Excellence for 3 years Recognition SDO looks closely at 3schools Documents review Visits and observations Validation: School Level: Report to School Stakeholders SIP, AIP and APP Continuous Improvement Project (CI Project) Plan adjustment of the WinS Program Evidence for the SBM Assessment SDO Level: Technical Assistance Plan of the ESs for each school M&E Report of the SDO DEDP , AIP and APP Translating Results into Actions Self-Assessment: Check 5 crucial WinS indicators Complete the Monitoring Form Review the results Gather School WinS TWG Orient or review of the indicators and 3 steps Preparation:

Rating Scheme Special Note: Five (5) of the 24 indicators are crucial indicators for the WinS implementation / practice. Safe drinking water Gender-segregated toilets Group handwashing facility Group handwashing activities Access to sanitary pads

Rating Scheme 1. Determine the compliance to the Five (5) Basic Crucial Indicators. If the school failed to meet any of the five, then the school’s Over-all Rating will automatically register as 0 Star, or “Beginning” regardless of the ratings in the other indicators Identify the Star level/rating of each indicator and assign an equivalent point, where 1 Star = 1 point. Compute for the Over-all Rating using averaging – i.e. total points divided by total indicators Determine the Over-all WinS Implementation Level using the Scale provided

Scale Range Descriptor 0.0 – .74 0 Star = Beginning Implementation 0.0 – .74 0 Star = Beginning Implementation 0.75 – 1.74 1 Star = Developing Implementation Level 1.75 – 2.74 2 Star = Maturing Implementation Level 2.75 – 3.00 3 Star = Advance Implementation Level TSA School Report

Recognition a. Elevated the implementation to a higher level. For improving, the school will be given a Citation of Appreciation as signed by Schools Division Superintendent b. Reached the desired Advanced Level of WinS Implementation (3 – Star Level). For being able to fully observe national standards, the school will be given a Recognition Award duly signed by the DepED Regional Director c. Successfully maintained an Advanced Level of WinS Implementation (3 – Star Level) for 3 straight years, the school will cited for excellence and be given the Seal of Excellence issued by the CO as signed by the Director of the BLSS in behalf of the Secretary.

“Be not afraid to walk slow. Be afraid if you stand still. ” “Be not afraid to walk slow. Be afraid if you stand still.” -Chinese Proverb Let us not be discouraged with what we only have right now. At the end of the day, if we persevere to commit ourselves with this SBM-WinS Program, little by little we will get there. We will become the catalyst of change not only in our region, but also in the entire nation.

Thank you!
