This study focused on the 20 grade school teachers handling the elementary level at the University of Cebu as seen in Table 1. A female elementary school principal heads the 20 teacher respondents. The teachers self-rated themselves, while the respondent school principal rated the 20 teachers as she supervised them. She used the teacher checklist questionnaire prepared for this study.
Table 1 shows that a typical elementary classroom teacher in UC is a female, single, licensed, tenured, and with a mean age of 28. All of the 21 respondents are licensed having passed the licensure examination for teachers (LET) per Republic Act No. 7636 known as the Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994.
