For item number 1, answer the first question by identifying the nature of the factors listed below the item. Then, analyze them and identify the effects of these factors on overall educational planning. Educational Planning is a process of organizing and identifying tools and services that will cater the needs of the students and the society. It helps in achieving the goals of an institution and provides efficient ways on how to attain them. The second part of the item focuses now on the factors. Cite conflicts or challenges that may be faced in each factor. For example, the time given to your department isn't enough and it's impossible to carry out the planning. You can compromise to your superior and ask them for an extension. Another one is funding. Let's say they want your department to finish the planning with insufficient funds. As a leader, you should think of a way on how to garner funds that will help you accomplish the task. Next is the priority. Your superior wants you to do the educational planning but you can feel that it's not a priority. You have to clear out things with your superior for this instance. Last factor is attitude. Your subordinates are demotivated and can't help in the planning. As their leader, think of ways that can make them motivated. Give them incentives.

For item number 2, talk to yourself. What is the most important quality that a faculty member should possess? You can't be a teacher if you don't have the proper attitude. You can't deliver a lesson without controlling your students inside the classroom. You can always learn and study your subject matter and methodologies to use in the classroom.

For item number 3, it's a good thing for your school to be acknowledged, most especially in a place where there a lot of excellent schools. A school accreditation is an indicator that your school is qualified and can cater the needs of the students and the society effectively and efficiently. It actually measures the readiness of the school to accept students and provide them quality education.
