NCBTS TEACHERS' STRENGTHS & NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Background
The Department of Education is presently pursuing a package of policy reforms that seeks to improve the quality of basic
education. These policy reforms are expected to create the critical changes necessary to further accelerate, broaden,
deepen and sustain the improved education effort already started. This package of policy reforms is referred to as the Basic
Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA).
One key element in the reform agenda is the establishment of the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards
(NCBTS). This is a framework that establishes the competency standards for teacher performance so that teachers, learners
and stakeholders are able to appreciate the complex set of behaviors, attitudes and skills that each teacher must possess
in order to carry out a satisfactory performance of their roles and responsibilities
In response to the need for an instrument that identifies the professional strengths and development needs of the teachers,
the NCBTS-Teachers' Strengths and Needs Assessment (TSNA) was developed and validated through the AusAID-funded
Project STRIVE (Strengthening the Basic Education in the Visayas), in coordination with the EDPITAF (Educational
Development Implementing Task Force), and Regions VI, VII and VIII, Divisions of Negros Occidental, Bohol and Northern
Samar, and further validated by the TEDP-TWG (Teacher Education Development Program-Technical Working Group at the
national level.
This tool is part of the NCBTS-TSNA Package that includes an NCBTS orientation program and resource materials,
structured learning session guides, manual for administration, scoring and interpretation, hard copy and e-versions of the
tool and the monitoring and evaluation scheme and tools for the implementation of the NCBTS-TSNA.
THE TSNA SYSTEM FRAMEWORK

The Teachers Strengths & Needs Assessment (TSNA), is seen to be essential in the provision of quality professional
development programs that are aligned to the needs of the programs clientele. The TSNA determines the differences
between the actual situation (what is) and the desired condition (what should be) in terms of teachers competencies within
the department. In this NCBTS-TSNA the actual situation is described the current competencies as perceived by the teacher.
The profile of the teachers current competencies is compared to the NCBTS standards for effective teaching. This TSNA,
therefore, identifies the competency strengths as well as the gap between the expected and the current teachers
competencies in terms of Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes (KSAs) that actually define the domains, strands and performance
indicators of the NCBTS.
The TSNA involves three essential stages of training needs analysis: Phase I (Job Analysis for Effective Teaching) is actually
done by analyzing nationally set teacher standards in behavioral terms or by identifying effective teaching competencies.
The DepED Central Office and Regional Offices are tasked to do this phase of the TSNA process. Phase II (Teacher
Trainee Analysis) is the instrumentation to determine the current teacher competency levels in KSA terms which is done by
the individual teacher at the school level. Phase III (Strength-Need analysis) is the analysis of the strengths and
discrepancies between the standards set and the current teachers data on their competencies which is carried out at the
school, cluster, District or Division level for their respective purposes related to teacher training/development.
An important aspect of the TSNA process is the utilization of its results that will serve as inputs in the preparation of
Individual Plan for Professional Development Plan (IPPD) and in designing programs and activities for teachers at the
school, division and regional levels. The consolidated TSNAs at the school, division and regional level inform the school
improvement plan (SIP), Division Development Plan (DEDP) and the Regional Development Plan (REDP), with respect to
the plans for professional development at the school, division and the regional levels.
r current practices to identify their individual development needs, and that school heads, division and regional offices also routinely use CBTS in identifying teacher p
Purpose of the NCBTS-TSNA

In order to realize the commitment to provide quality basic education through the Key Result Thrust (KRT2) of BESRA
emphasizing the Professional Development of Teachers, the TSNA is conducted to gather data on the needs of teachers for
their continuing training and development.
Specifically, the TSNA intends to:
1. Determine the competency gaps or learning needs in terms of KSAs of individual teachers vis--vis the standards set by
the NCBTS in each of the seven domains and 23 strands:
1.1. Social Regard for Learning
1.2. Learning Environment
1.3. Diversity of Learners
1.4. Curriculum
1.5. Planning, Assessing and Reporting
1.6. Community Linkages
1.7. Personal Growth and Professional Development
2. Consolidate the TSNA results at the school, cluster, and division levels.
Expected Outputs
Based on the purpose stated above, the TSNA is expected to yield the following specific outputs:
A.
At the individual level:
An Individual Teacher Scoring Template that contains TSNA results indicating the strengths and training needs in each of the
seven domains and 23 strands.
B.
At the school level:
Consolidated TSNA results that reflect the general strengths and learning needs of the teachers in the school
C.
At the cluster/ /division level:
Consolidated TSNA results of participating school teachers in a given cluster/division

School-Based Implementation of the TSNA

A. Orientation of School Heads on the NCBTS and the TSNA
The principle of school-based management empowers the School Heads to provide instructional leadership and therefore
they must be aware of the framework of the NCBTS that defines the concept of effective teaching. One of the ways by which
School Heads can support the professional development of the teachers is when they have the first-hand information about
the training needs of teachers. The NCBTS-TSNA tool intends to identify specific training needs of teachers, thus the School
Heads and Schools Supervisors need to be knowledgeable of the features of the tool and its proper administration and
results utilization.
The orientation should therefore, involve clusters of School Heads with their respective NCBTS School Coordinators from
Leader Schools and District Supervisors within each Division. The designation of the NCBTS school coordinator is upon the
discretion of the School Head taking into consideration the criteria outlined in the Orientation Guide contained in the NCBTSTSNA Package.
The NCBTS-TSNA package has been designed for knowledge building and advocacy on the NCBTS and for the transfer of
the technology to conduct TSNA at the school level. The package provides the participants with: (a) a deeper understanding
of the NCBTS framework, the meaning of the domains, strands, and performance indicators, and the identification of the
KSAs; (b) familiarity with the content of the TSNA tool and its proper administration to assist schools in the conduct of TSNA.
B. Schools-Cluster TSNA Implementation

Schools within the Division are expected to form clusters. Each cluster should designate a Leader School. Leader School
Heads and their respective NCBTS Coordinators become the Implementers of the TSNA across the schools within their
clusters. School Heads from within each cluster are convened to go through parallel knowledge building and to conduct the
TSNA for their own teachers. The District Supervisors will take the role of guiding and monitoring the TSNA system and
procedures within the cluster or district.
GETTING STARTED WITH THE NCBTS-TSNA SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL
The TSNA Tool is a self-assessment exercise that is introduced by the School Head/NCBTS Coordinator through an orientation process
in order for the teacher-respondents to understand its importance and thus reflectively respond to the instrument. The Tool in electronic
format (Excel) is contained on a compact disk (CD) with an auto-scoring system. Each teacher may be given an individual CD or may
respond to the TSNA tool from a file installed on a common computer. It takes an average of one hour to accomplish the instrument. The
scores and individual profile of the teacher in the seven domains with corresponding strands and performance indicators are electronically
generated instantly upon completion of the instrument. There is no time limit imposed for completing the instrument.
Self-Administration of the TSNA Tool
A. The TSNA Responses
The instrument contains clusters of KSAs specific to a particular performance indicator with a common stem: At what level do I
Considering that the NCBTS-TSNA tool is intended for self-assessment and not for performance ratings, the responses to the items are
expressed qualitatively i.e. High (H), Satisfactory (S), Fair (F), and Low (L).
The reference codes presented below guide the respondent in registering her/his self-assessment for each KSA:
Code
H
(High)
S
(Satisfactory)
F
(Fair)
L
( Low)
Interpretation
My level of competence in the KSA is high. This is my strength,
although not a priority training & development need.
My level of competence in the KSA is satisfactory but I would benefit
from further training & development
My level of competence in the KSA is fair and I need further training
& development as a priority.
My level of competence in the KSA is low. I urgently need training
and development
B. The Electronic Self-Assessment Tool

This Electronic Self-Assessment Template consists of three worksheets labelled as:
"Teacher Profile" - pink-colored tab and a data-entry form for teacher respondent's personal and professional data
"Self-Assessment" - green-colored tab is the TSNA instrument
"Summary" - yellow-colored tab displays the result of assessment after all TSNA items have been accomplished
1. Fill in the Teacher Profile. Data provided here shall feed into the Human Resource Information System of DepEd
2. After completing the Teacher Profile, proceed to the Self-Assessment Worksheet by clicking on the "Self Assessment" tab
3. In the Self Assessment worksheet, click on the appropriate checkbox that corresponds to your answer for each KSA
3.1 As a checkbox is ticked, the row color turns blue indicating that the response/answer is accept

Note : Automatic scoring is not enabled when any one of the items in the worksheet has not been answered and/or two
answers were provided for one KSA. In this case, the message "ERROR" is displayed. Review answers giving special
attention to red and grey colored rows.
Interpreting and Consolidation of the TSNA Profiles
TSNA results may be interpreted using the scale scores or the percentage scores. Upon completion of the NCBTS-TSNA Tool, an
obtained score whether an average of the domain, strand or performance indicator, is interpreted using the appropriate indices in the
chart below. A score to be interpreted may either be an average of a particular domain, or a strand or a specific performance indicator as
the case may be.
