Abstract

This study intends to examine the emotional intelligence, personality traits, resilience, and stress levels of teachers in the Department of Education (DepEd) Bataan, Dinalupihan West District since educators serve as essential architects in developing the minds of future generations, making their overall wellness—both personal and professional—fundamental to successful educational outcomes. The study looks at how these factors interact to offer suggestions for improving teachers' capacity to handle the challenges of learning settings. Findings indicate that most teachers have low levels of emotional intelligence, with notable differences found on demographic variables such as sex on personality. According to correlation, personality and resilience have a strong positive link. These findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions that prioritize emotional regulation but need to improve resilience and how to manage stress. To address this, a soft skills enrichment program was developed to bolster teachers' psychosocial abilities, equipping them with the necessary tools to thrive in evolving educational settings and enhance their overall teaching effectiveness.
