Abstract

              This study determined the effects of the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Program on the work performance of teachers in selected private schools in Binangonan, Rizal during the School Year 2025–2026, namely: Binangonan Catholic College, Claremont School of Binangonan, Raises Montessori Academe–Pantok Annex, Shining Light Christian College, and Zion Hills Christian School of Binangonan. The respondents consisted of the total population of 114 teachers. A descriptive survey research design and documentary analysis were employed. A researcher-made questionnaire-checklist measured the perceived effects of CPD on motivational skills, classroom management skills, instructional skills, interpersonal skills, and leadership skills. Documentary analysis of teachers’ performance evaluation ratings for School Year 2024–2025 served as basis for determining their level of work performance.Findings revealed that most respondents were 21–30 years old, female, single, Teacher I, with less than five years of service, and had attended school-level in-service trainings. Teachers perceived that the CPD program had a very high effect on all identified skill areas. No significant differences were found in the perceived effects when grouped according to sex, civil status, educational attainment, and position title. However, significant differences emerged in terms of age, length of service, and in-service trainings attended. Teachers’ overall work performance was rated Very Satisfactory. A significant relationship was established between teachers’ level of work performance and the perceived effects of the CPD program.The study concluded that while certain demographic variables do not predict perceived CPD effects, age, experience, and training exposure contribute to teachers’ perceptions and performance. Continuous implementation of professional development programs, encouragement for graduate studies, provision of incentives, and adoption of the proposed action plan were recommended..
