NASH Reviewer: National Assessment for School Heads - Practice Test 2

This 25-item section of the NASH Practice Reviewer zeroes in on practical school-leadership judgment: gauging whether SLAC/LACs are truly improving teaching (e.g., pilots of new strategies, formative assessment use, collaboration), organizing LACs ethically and aligned to SIP/AIP, and handling personnel situations such as WFH requests, missed outputs, reimbursements, and constructive (not personal) conflict. It also tests policy literacy on data privacy (what counts as sensitive information and safe data sharing), correct use of the DepEd seal, travel entitlements, and professional qualifications notation. Instructional decisions appear throughout—formative assessment focus, remediation before advancing, and actions that affect promotion rates—alongside quantitative literacy (cohort survival, retention, transition, and completion computations). Governance and accountability items cover PBB eligibility, attendance and coaching for LACs, and the school head’s roles in organizing, resourcing, monitoring, and evaluating LAC outcomes that feed back into the SIP/AIP.

1. After several SLAC meetings, which observation would NOT indicate an effective LAC?

Teachers pilot new strategies discussed in LAC. Teachers share and co-create lesson resources. Teachers use assessment evidence to adjust teaching. Teachers rarely change anything in class after sessions.

2. In organizing SLACs, which consideration is NOT appropriate?

Align topics to SIP/AIP and learners’ needs. Ensure equitable participation of all teachers. Choose topics that promote a specific commercial product. Avoid conflicts of interest in speakers and materials.

3. A parent asks for a teacher’s cellphone number to discuss her child. What should you do?

Provide the number since the request concerns the child. Decline to share the personal number; offer an official channel and/or get the teacher’s consent first. Share the number but remind the parent to text only after office hours.

4. Which set contains ONLY sensitive personal information?

Cellphone number, marital status Blood type, cellphone number Race/ethnic origin, marital status, blood type Cellphone number, race/ethnic origin

5. During WFH arrangements, a teacher fails to submit weekly outputs. What is the best first step?

Coach and issue a written reminder with clear deadlines; provide support. Immediately file a formal administrative case. Ignore it because connectivity is unpredictable anyway.

6. A teacher with asthma requests WFH for the entire year. What is the proper decision?

Approve outright for the entire year to be safe. Require medical certification and assess duty compatibility; approve with conditions if aligned to policy and service exigency. Deny all health-related WFH requests as a rule.

7. Which work arrangement is NOT advisable when health alerts are high?

Skeleton workforce Staggered work shifts Mandatory full-capacity on-site reporting Telework/remote tasks where applicable

8. To help teachers adjust instruction and promote student reflection, the SLAC should focus on:

Formative assessment and feedback for learning End-of-term grading policies only Classroom decorations and bulletin boards

9. Many SHS students failed a prerequisite subject. What should teachers do?

Enroll them in the next subject and remediate later. Provide remediation/bridging and require passing the prerequisite before the next course. Exempt them from the prerequisite due to time constraints.

10. Which action is LEAST likely to improve promotion rates?

Establish early alerts and targeted catch-up plans. Provide coaching and aligned assessments. Raise passing thresholds mid-semester without support. Monitor at-risk learners and engage parents.

11. A teacher on on-site duty seeks ₱300 reimbursement for “communication expenses.” What should you do?

Reimburse in cash immediately to boost morale. Disallow absent prior authority and documents; advise proper request with ORs and approval. Charge it to MOOE even without receipts because the amount is small.

12. To minimize conflict among teachers, which measures should you put in place?

1. Match roles with teachers’ strengths.
2. Follow mandated teaching loads and policies.
3. Foster respect for diverse values and beliefs.
4. Ensure fair opportunities for recognition/promotion.

I and II only II and III only I, II, and III only I, II, III, and IV

13. Which is a valid reason to allow limited conflict, and which is NOT?

Encourage evidence-based disagreements about pedagogy. Permit anonymous personal accusations to “vent.” Use protocols to debate solutions before deciding. Invite differing views during planning, not during grading.

14. Cohort Survival in 2015: Primary = 91%, Secondary = 86%. Which statement is NOT true?

Primary CSR is above 90%. Secondary CSR is higher than Primary. The difference between levels is 5 percentage points. Both levels are below 100% (some learners left the cohort).

15. Consider the school’s retention rates:

1. SY 2017–2018: 92%
2. SY 2018–2019: 90%
3. SY 2019–2020: 93%
4. SY 2020–2021: 91%

Highest retention occurred in 2019–2020. Retention dipped compared to the previous year in 2018–2019. Retention increased every single year. 2020–2021 retention is lower than 2017–2018.

16. Transition Rate (G10→G11): 84%, 82%, 87%, 85%, 80% for SY 2016–2017 through 2020–2021 respectively. Which SY has the lowest transition?

SY 2020–2021 SY 2017–2018 SY 2018–2019 SY 2016–2017

17. A cohort had 400 entrants; 312 completed the terminal grade. What is the completion rate?

75% 78% 80% 82%

18. During a 3-day official foreign travel, which is NOT a travel entitlement?

21. Which teacher would be ineligible for PBB?

A teacher detailed to another school for 6 months but duly rated there A teacher on approved sick leave who still met performance targets A teacher with an Unsatisfactory performance rating for the year A teacher assigned additional duties but performed satisfactorily

22. A teacher frequently misses LAC sessions. What is the best initial action?

Ignore absences since LAC is informal. Meet the teacher, document absences, and agree on a participation plan; escalate if non-compliance continues. Immediately recommend a salary step demotion. Remove the teacher from all committees at once.

23. Which expense cannot be charged to “incidental expenses” of per diem?

Streaming subscription renewal while on travel Local transport fees related to the trip Minor official document photocopying Tips/fees officially allowed within ceilings

24. A university requests learner records for research. What must you ensure FIRST?

Send the raw list now and follow up paperwork later. Post the dataset on the school website for transparency. Give only names and addresses; those are basic details. Execute a DSA, confirm legal basis, and share only de-identified data with consent/safeguards.

25. Which responsibilities properly belong to the school head in LAC governance?

1. Constitute/organize the LAC.
2. Provide direction/resources for effective implementation.
