Abstract

This qualitative study aims to explore the administrative-supervisory leadership experiences and perspectives of fifteen (15) school principals in the Division of Toledo City, Cebu, DepEd Region VII, during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The research utilized a descriptive phenomenological approach, which involved face-to-face semi-structured interviews, observation notes, and documentation. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data in six steps, including familiarization, coding, creating themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming themes, and creating a report. The findings of the study revealed that principals faced various challenges during the pandemic crisis, including maintaining the continuity of learning, ensuring the safety of students and teachers, managing resources, and supporting the well-being of school personnel. Despite these challenges, the principals demonstrated strong leadership skills by adapting to the situation, collaborating with stakeholders, and implementing innovative strategies. The study's limitations include a small sample size and a specific geographic location, which limits the generalizability of the findings. This study contributes to the understanding of how school principals experience and navigate leadership during a crisis, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The practical implications of this study suggest that school leaders should prioritize collaboration and adaptability in crisis management, support the well-being of school personnel, and implement innovative strategies to address challenges. The study's novelty lies in its application of a phenomenological approach to explore the subjective experiences of school principals during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to unpack the role of instructional leadership in teacher professional development. Ten teachers and three coordinators from PAU Excellencia Global Academy Foundation, Inc. participated in the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed three main themes. First, instructional leadership practices were found to be critical in promoting teacher learning and development. The participants emphasized the importance of leaders modeling effective teaching practices, providing feedback, and facilitating collaboration and learning opportunities. Second, the study showed that the quality of teacher-administrator relationships was essential in promoting teacher professional growth. The participants highlighted the significance of trust, open communication, and mutual respect in building positive relationships. Lastly, the study revealed that teacher professional development is a continuous and ongoing process that requires sustained support from school leaders. The participants emphasized the need for ongoing professional development opportunities, such as workshops, mentoring, and coaching. These findings have important implications for educational leaders and policy-makers in promoting effective teacher professional development. School leaders should prioritize instructional leadership practices that model effective teaching practices and facilitate collaborative learning opportunities. They should also foster positive teacher-administrator relationships and provide ongoing professional development opportunities to support teachers in their professional growth. By doing so, they can promote a culture of continuous learning and development in their schools, ultimately leading to improved student learning outcomes.
