Abstract:

1 Graduate School, Rizal Memorial Colleges, Inc., Davao, Philippines * Correspondence: josephinebbaguio@ou tlook.com Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026 This study investigated the relationship between sustainable development practices and shared vision management among 157 public elementary teachers in Paquibato District, Davao City. Using a quantitative descriptive-correlational design, the study assessed five sustainability domains and five shared vision indicators. Teachers reported moderate overall sustainable development practices, rating economic and social aspects highest, while shared vision management was rated high. Correlation analysis showed a positive association between the variables. However, the regression analysis yielded non-significant results, suggesting a need for clearer reporting in predictive models. Despite this, the findings indicate that sustainability practices and shared vision generally align in this setting. Practical implications include strengthening whole-school sustainability routines and linking institutional vision to concrete, community- relevant sustainability priorities.
