Abstract:
The researcher determined the continuing professional development (CPD) Programs among public high school teachers in the district of Marilao towards a proposed faculty development program. The study described the age, gender status, highest educational attainment, years in teaching, and respondents' membership in a professional organization. The descriptive method and purposive sampling were used to identify the teacher-respondents in this study. Enthusiasm, interest, and personal belief are significant factors in continuing teachers' participation in CPD. Personal factors seemed to be more significant in predicting teachers' participation in CPD activities than task and work environment factors. However, this study may over-generalize the factors affecting teachers' CPD (personal, task, and working environment). School factor is one major facilitating to continuing professional development among teachers. School provides some workshops or seminars for teachers to participate and more promotion chances. Professionally, teachers' perspective and educational growth, study, and taking higher degree are the best factors contributing to effective professional development. An Individual's interest in lifelong learning increases his skills and knowledge. CPD will enhance the personal and professional growth of teachers. It will also provide information to administrators and principals to strengthen professionalism by developing programs to serve as the basis for hiring, selection, and promotion.
