Discipline: Teacher Training

 

Abstract:

This dissertation employed descriptive research to determine the relationship among ethical leadership, teacher professional development and parent engagement for school management development plan in one of the town districts in Batangas. Using the random sampling method to support statistical analysis of a set data, 422 secondary school teachers were involved in the study. Demographic analysis revealed that predominantly of respondents were female, who finished bachelor’s degree with less than 20 years length of service. Ethical guidance and role clarification were the strongest aspects in ethical leadership, while power sharing and fairness scored weaker. Learning environment and educational planning were most prominent for teacher professional development, while research based, and educational technology were less emphasized. Parent responsibilities and contact and influence ranked highest in parent engagement, whereas involvement at home and participation ranked least. Additionally, there exists a significant difference of responses on ethical leadership, teacher professional development and parent engagement when grouped according to profile. A highly significant relationship existed among ethical leadership, teacher professional development, and parent engagement. This implies that schools with ethical leadership are more likely to achieve higher teacher professional development and demonstrate active level of parent engagement. In the end, a school management development plan was proposed to continuously enhance schools’ ethical leadership, teacher professional development and parent engagement. Hence, this dissertation explored the characteristics of ethical leadership in an educational setting, analyzing its impact on teacher motivation and access to professional development opportunities and finally foster strong partnership with parents to address diverse family cultural needs in enhancing the overall quality of educational system
