Abstract:

The study utilized descriptive-correlational research design. Covering 104 public elementary schools in Northern Samar and 104 school heads and 312 teachers participated in the study. Complete enumeration was employed for the school heads while purposive sampling technique was used for the teachers. A survey questionnaire was used as the primary instrument to gather data. The study used frequency counts, percentages, ranking, weighted mean, and multiple regression analysis as statistical tools.
The school head-respondents assessed their level of school effectiveness as “much effective” while the teacher-respondents rated “very much effective” in terms of enhancing the teaching and learning experience, improving school management and administrative process, strengthening resiliency of school, roles and responsibilities of school personnel, allocating of school grants and program support fund, eligible activities and expenses, ensuring the safety and orderly environment of the school, frequent monitoring of pupils’ progress, and home-school relations.
On the test of correlation between the socio-demographic profile of the school heads and their level of transformational leadership styles as assessed by themselves and by the teachers, regression analysis showed that all socio-demographic profile variables were found to be not significantly related to the level of transformational leadership styles of public elementary school heads.
