Abstract: This phenomenological study explored the experiences of school principals in Davao City, Philippines, when crafting their school improvement plans (SIPs). Using purposive sampling, ten principals were identified and interviewed. Thematic analysis revealed challenges in data gathering, communication gaps, and resource management. Principals employed stakeholder engagement, collaboration, support, and development as coping mechanisms. Learning insights emphasized the importance of strategic planning, sustainability, continuous improvement, and adaptation. The study concluded that principals faced hurdles in collecting comprehensive data, communicating the importance of SIP, and securing sufficient financial resources. Recommendations include streamlining data collection, improving communication, advocating for increased funding, providing professional development, and promoting a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. The findings contribute to understanding the complex experiences of principals in school improvement planning and offer strategies for enhancing the SIP process.
