This study examined the monitoring and evaluation techniques employed by school heads in public elementary schools in Tabaco City Division for the school year 2024-2025. It explored the level of usage of various evaluation methods, their impact on teachers, and potential enhancements. A validated researcher-made questionnaire and statistical measures were used for analysis. The study revealed that class observations and lesson plan reviews were universally utilized by school heads in Tabaco City Division, while student performance analysis, learning development application, and assignment alignment were slightly less frequent. Key indicators for these techniques scored consistently high, indicating strong adherence. Monitoring and evaluation fostered reflective practices, improved instructional quality, and strengthened collaboration among teachers. Additionally, data-driven insights supported accountability and professional development. To enhance these processes, the study proposed an improved monitoring and evaluation tool, aiming to further optimize classroom instruction and teacher effectiveness through structured, evidence-based strategies tailored to school needs. The study concluded that school heads employ various techniques to monitor and evaluate classroom teaching, ensuring instructional alignment and effectiveness. Usage levels of these techniques vary, but their impact on teachers is generally positive. To enhance monitoring practices, an improved tool is recommended. The study also suggests retaining current evaluation techniques, ensuring oversight by higher DepEd officials, integrating findings into technical assistance plans, and implementing the proposed tool system-wide. Future research could explore leadership’s role in instructional quality, effective monitoring strategies, and the impact of school leadership on teacher performance in public elementary schools.
