Abstract : Faced with numerous class suspensions especially with the threat of pandemic, school needs to innovate to ensure that learning is in place even at the comfort of students’ home. Online classes are a set of instructional experiences using the available technology. These courses require teacher preparation and competencies. This descriptive research aims to know the readiness of senior faculty members in teaching online. Using Faculty Readiness to Teach Online (FRTO), the researcher describes the attitude and the ability of the teacher-participants of designing online courses. Results reveal that the perception of attitude and ability of teachers to online teaching imply their knowledge and skills. Although attitude is higher than ability, the faculty are ready to teach online. It is recommended that the locale may design periodic seminar-workshops on the subscales, especially those which the faculty deem very important, but they cannot do very well.

Keywords : Teaching Online, Readiness, Attitude and Ability and Competencies.
