Abstract	This study examined the relationship between teachers’ innovativeness, instructional competence, and teacher productivity in the Schools Division of Antique during the School Year 2025. The purpose of the study was to determine the levels of teachers’ innovativeness and instructional competence and to examine how these variables relate to teacher productivity. Teachers’ innovativeness was described in terms of the adoption of new teaching strategies, use of instructional technologies, and creative lesson delivery. Instructional competence was examined through pedagogical skills, classroom management, lesson planning, and subject mastery. Teacher productivity was assessed based on instructional effectiveness, contribution to school goals, and student learning outcomes. The findings revealed that teachers demonstrated a high level of innovativeness, particularly in integrating new instructional strategies and technologies to enhance classroom instruction. Instructional competence was also found to be high, indicating that teachers possessed strong pedagogical skills, effective classroom management practices, and adequate mastery of subject matter. Teacher productivity was similarly rated at a high level, reflecting teachers’ effectiveness in delivering instruction, supporting school initiatives, and promoting positive student learning outcomes. The study further revealed that teachers’ innovativeness and instructional competence were significantly related to teacher productivity. Among the variables examined, instructional competence emerged as the stronger influence on productivity, suggesting that teachers’ ability to plan, manage, and deliver instruction effectively plays a critical role in achieving positive educational outcomes. These results underscore the importance of continuous professional development programs that strengthen instructional competence while encouraging innovative teaching practices. Enhancing these areas may contribute to improved teacher productivity and overall school effectiveness in the Schools Division of Antique.
