Abstract:
This study, conducted during the 2023-2024 school year in the Rizal District under the Schools Division Office of Nueva Ecija, examines the correlation between development strategies, digital transformation practices, and teacher empowerment in public secondary schools. It employs a quantitative, descriptive-correlational design, surveying 144 teachers from five high schools, representing 64.57% of the district’s 223 teachers. Results indicate that respondents perceive their schools’ development strategies as excellent and their digital transformation practices as very good. Teacher empowerment is also perceived as excellent. The study reveals a high positive correlation between perceived development strategies and digital transformation practices. Significant positive correlations also exist between development strategies and teacher empowerment, as well as between digital transformation practices and teacher empowerment. Based on these findings, the researcher developed organizational development intervention strategies and a training design. It is recommended that schools implement these programs, customizing them to meet specific needs. Regular assessment through surveys, feedback, and performance metrics is essential to identify areas for improvement. Updating and refining the programs based on the latest research, stakeholder feedback, and observed outcomes will ensure their continued relevance and effectiveness. To sustain excellence, fostering a culture of continuous improvement is crucial. This involves encouraging all school community members to contribute ideas and solutions for ongoing development. By adopting and tailoring the crafted programs to the unique needs of each school, and by continuously assessing and updating these programs, schools can enhance their development strategies, digital transformation practices, and teacher empowerment, leading to overall improved educational outcomes.
