To examine the association between community extension programs and professional development among public elementary school teachers.
Conducted a descriptive-correlational study in Manay South District, Davao Oriental, Philippines, using convenience sampling (N = 134 public elementary school teachers).
Administered a validated survey assessing community extension initiatives (health and environment, literacy, livelihood) alongside professional development dimensions (planning, executing, evaluating).
Community extension programs (M = 3.51, SD = 0.75) and professional development (M = 3.71, SD = 0.63) exhibited a strong positive correlation (r = 0.78, p < .001).
Multiple regression revealed that health and environment, literacy, and livelihood initiatives significantly predicted professional development (R2 = 0.61, F = 87.92, p < .001), with livelihood initiatives demonstrating the largest standardized coefficient (beta = 0.23).
