Abstract : This study narrated the lived experiences of public elementary school teachers who have undergone coaching and mentoring, shedding light on their coping strategies for addressing weaknesses and their insights into educational learning. This employed qualitative phenomenological research. Ten participants, recipients of coaching and mentoring, provided rich narratives that coalesced around three primary themes: engagement in professional development, adequacy of training resources, and the demands of the work environment. Concurrently, coping strategies for the challenges associated with coaching revealed three major themes: establishing teaching competence, demonstrating collaborative practices, and embracing reflective practices. Furthermore, the study identified two overarching learning insights derived from teachers' lived experiences: a dedication to being work-oriented and motivated. School leaders must recognize the transformative potential of coaching and mentoring in enhancing teaching practices. Teachers, in turn, should actively embrace and participate in any technical assistance provided. The Department of Education officials are urged to leverage the study's findings to develop a centralized professional development program that aligns with teachers' competencies and needs. Finally, students are encouraged to actively engage in classroom activities to foster a meaningful and holistic educational outcome.

Keywords : Coaching, Mentoring, Public Elementary School Teachers.
