Academic Frontiers, 2(7), 1–17. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21280585 Read File Author(s) Tiu, Catherine L., Villamor, Liz Irish Ng Abstract Female teacher-coaches play a critical role in promoting students' academic and athletic development while managing the competing demands of teaching and coaching. This study explored the lived experiences of thirteen (13) female teacher-coaches in the Magallanes District, Division of Agusan del Norte, Philippines, using a qualitative phenomenological design. Participants were purposively selected, and data were gathered through expert-validated semi-structured interviews, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method with MAXQDA. Findings revealed that participants viewed teaching and coaching as interconnected professional identities centered on holistic learner development through instruction, mentorship, leadership, and character formation. They experienced persistent challenges related to workload, time constraints, limited resources, and emotional demands, yet these experiences also fostered resilience, adaptability, leadership, and professional growth. To manage their dual responsibilities, participants employed effective time management, prioritization, self-regulation, collaboration, family and peer support, and continuous professional development. They further emphasized the need for stronger institutional support through equitable workload policies, professional development opportunities, administrative assistance, adequate sports facilities and resources, financial support, and recognition of their contributions. Overall, the findings demonstrate that balancing teaching and coaching is a transformative process that shapes a resilient educator-coach identity and highlights the importance of comprehensive organizational support to sustain teacher-coaches' well-being and effectiveness in fostering students' academic, athletic, and personal development. Keywords Female teacher-coaches, dual professional roles, lived experiences, phenomenology, role conflict, work-life balance, coping strategies, professional identity, workload management

Description Long before concrete roads reached the community, children learned to swim in the cool waters of the river before they learned to ride bicycles. Women spent their days washing clothes along the riverbanks while exchanging stories with their neighbors. Fishermen cast their nets or set their hook and line, confident that the river would provide enough fish to feed their families before the day ended. During the hottest afternoons, the river became everyone's refuge, its clear waters offering relief from the relentless summer heat.

Abstract This study determined the level of English Language Proficiency of Bachelor of Agricultural Technology (BAT) and Bachelor of Science in Fisheries (BSFi) graduates of Surigao del Norte State University - Del Carmen Campus, examined significant differences across selected profile variables, developed a training design to address identified gaps, and determined the level of acceptability of the developed training design. Using a quantitative-descriptive research design, data were collected from the selected BAT and BSFi graduates from academic years 2020-2025 through a researcher‑made English Proficiency Test covering grammar, vocabulary, punctuation, and comprehension, and an expert‑validated evaluation tool. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, t‑tests, ANOVA, and Kruskal‑Wallis tests. The training design was developed using the ADDIE model and evaluated by (National Educators Academy of the Philippines) NEAP‑accredited experts. Findings revealed that respondents demonstrated an Approaching Proficiency level in grammar, vocabulary, and punctuation, and a Proficient level in comprehension. Differences were generally not significant across profile variables, except for sex in grammar and punctuation. The training design was rated Highly Acceptable across all dimensions. The findings highlight the need for targeted English Language Proficiency training, particularly in grammar and punctuation, and support the implementation of the developed training design as an effective intervention.
