With the escalating complexities of the lives of students and teachers, leaders need to come up with a better strategy to handle pressing issues to respond proactively to the constantly changing conditions in the educational situation. This study was undertaken to determine the extent of resilient leadership style of school heads in terms of crisis management, care for teachers and organizational capacity. Likewise, this study also determined the teachers’ resiliency level in terms of determination, interaction, relationship, and problem-solving. The study employed a descriptive correlational and causal research design which included a quantitative approach to collecting numerical data through an adapted and modified questionnaire from Tuscano (2020 and Yorge (2019). Mean, standard deviation, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient or Pearson (r), and linear regression were also used. The respondents were the teachers in Jasaan South District in the Division of Misamis Oriental who were selected through a stratified random sampling procedure, Slovin’s Formula.
