Abstract This study examined teachers’ awareness of the implementation of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs in Lanao del Sur, during the School Year 2024-2025, particularly in relation to various teacher profiles. The primary objective was to determine the significant relationship between respondents’ demographic and professional characteristics such as sex, age, civil status, teaching experience, related training and seminars, and highest educational attainment and their awareness of CPD implementation. The study employed a quantitative descriptive design, which was deemed the most appropriate method for ensuring accurate and adequate interpretation of data. A total of 150 elementary public-school teachers were selected as respondents. Data was gathered using an adopted questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, including frequency, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient.

Based on the findings of the study, it revealed that majority of the respondents are female under 31 – 40 years age group and are married. The majority of the respondents have 10 – 14 years of teaching experience and attended a non-PRC accredited seminar with a bachelor’s degree. In the awareness on continuing professional development and implementation program, Mandatory Requirements in the Renewal of Professional License got the highest mean while Recognition of Credit Unit got the lowest mean. There is no significant relationship between the respondent’s profile and the level of awareness on continuing professional development among teachers particularly in age, civil status, teaching experience, related training and seminars and highest educational attainment. There is significant relationship with sex to Role of Concern Agencies and the Private Sector. Thus, this study recommends that educational institutions and CPD providers should intensify awareness efforts particularly in the area of recognition of credit units, which appears to be one of the least understood components of CPD. Clear guidelines, accessible informational materials, and practical examples should be disseminated to all teachers.
