scope and procedure of monitoring these should be participated in by the
school head, PTA and Barangay Officials and other stakeholders who may
be available at the school at the moment of monitoring.
B. Actual Monitoring
The actual monitoring may involve one or a combination of any of
the following procedures as applicable:
1. Comprehensive document review
This involves scrutinizing documents that may satisfy
observance of the monitoring indicator by the school. This
method is done only when necessary.
2. Interview
This method is done to ascertain compliance of the school on
indicators that could not be verified through document review or
physical audit. It is also used to further substantiate findings.
3. Physical Facility/Equipment/Material Audit
This is done to ascertain the presence, availability and/ or
enoughness of facility/equipment/material.
4. School Facility Walk Through
This is performed when the monitor does ocular inspection
on the facility/equipment/material. This is done to determine
functionality and compliance to standards.
C. Exit Conference
This is done to discuss the findings and recommendations of the
monitoring team. It may be also a time for the provision of technical
assistance to the schools for the improvement of the existing conditions of
the school to make it more prepared for in person classes. This should be
participated in by in by the school head, PTA and Barangay Officials and
other stakeholders who may be available at the school at the moment of
