Abstract:
In the Philippines, the quick spread of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an unprecedented surprise to the education system and has introduced challenges, especially in the education sector and the aspect of leadership in schools. The researcher conducted this study to shed light on the leadership practices of school heads and their administrative dispositions, as well as the readiness of schools. This study assessed the school heads’ leadership practices, administrative disposition, and readiness of the thirty-five public secondary school heads of SAMARICA, Occidental Mindoro. The researcher used the descriptive-correlational research design and researcher-made questionnaire to assess and measure the independent and dependent variables under study. The statistical tools used to analyze the data gathered were mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment of Correlation. The findings of the study showed that the level of school heads’ leadership practices in the new normal was often practiced. In addition, the level of administrative disposition of the school head was highly evident. On the other hand, the schools’ readiness level for the new normal education was very much ready. The school heads’ leadership practices and administrative disposition significantly predicted the readiness of the public secondary high schools in San Jose, Magsaysay, Rizal, and Calintaan (SAMARICA), Occidental Mindoro. The findings also showed that there is a significant relationship between the school heads’ level of leadership practices and their level of administrative disposition. Thus, the schools should also prioritize the readiness of schools for the new normal education in terms of platform and support, governance, assessment, teachers, learners, and parents.
