Every school or cluster of schools is led by a school head who is prepared, monitored, and made accountable for organizing and leading an institutionalized school improvement process at the school level as mandated in the Republic Act No. 9155, Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001. By maximizing the skills and abilities of school heads to improve educational efficiency, in particular the standard of teaching and learning through the practice of instructional supervision, these skills can be improved to build efficient human resources that can make a difference in the educational system. This paved the way to conduct this study which aims to determine the extent of interpersonal, leadership, and supervisory skills of 48 school heads in the Narra school districts, Narra, Palawan, Philippines using a total enumeration sampling technique. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire and were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, eta correlation, and t-test. Results revealed that school heads’ interpersonal, leadership, and supervisory skills were both perceived by the school themselves and their teachers as evident. Findings also showed that there were significant associations between the school head’s profile in terms of their present position and their manifested leadership skill in initiating action, school heads’ profile in terms of the present position and their manifested supervisory skill in decision making, and school heads’ profile in terms of the number of teachers supervised and their manifested supervisory skill in planning and organizing, which all suggests a weak association between these variables. It is recommended that since the school heads’ interpersonal, leadership, and supervisory skills were evident, these skills must be intensified for it to achieve a level of very much evident.

Access to learning materials poses a greater challenge to the educational community since learning must continue even with the risks of covid-19 pandemic. The Philippines’ Department of Education (DepEd) described the Open Educational Resources (OER) as an innovative pathway to connect the disconnected schools with its prime role to support the requirements of the K-12 Curriculum. This paved the way for the researchers to conduct this study that explores the OER readiness level of the 71 secondary school teachers in the School Division of Palawan. Data were gathered through the administration of survey questionnaires via SMS, phone calls, and online platforms. Composite mean and Pearson correlation coefficient were utilized in data analysis. Results showed the teachers’ awareness level of open educational resources is approaching awareness. A moderate positive correlation between the respondents’ educational attainment and their OER level of awareness was also established. The study recommends the strengthening of the conduct of training on open educational resources in order for the teachers to become fully aware of its aspects and devising a training design or OER policy that will encourage teachers the full utilization of OER.
