CHARITO D. ROBLES- CRUZ,PhD Abstract: In this study, the significance and link between the leadership abilities and change facilitation methods of school principals and teachers' perceptions of their professional selves in the context of the new normal in a sample of elementary schools in EDDIS I and II during the academic year 2021-2022 were determined. The results of the study, which used explanatory sequential mixed methods as its research design and included 160 teachers and 15 principals as respondents, revealed that there were significant differences between the perceptions of the teachers and the school principals themselves with regard to the latter's leadership competencies and change facilitator styles. Both teachers and school principals themselves described the change facilitator styles and leadership competences of school principals as "always or very true"; nevertheless, the latter rated themselves higher than the former. Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: There is a highly significant difference between the school principals' change facilitator styles and leadership competencies and teachers' sense of professional identity. There is a significant relationship between the school principals' change facilitator styles and leadership competencies and teachers' sense of professional identity in the new normal.
