Abstract
The study aimed to determine the effect of team trust on the practice of creative school in professional learning communities and the significance of team trust in their relationships. Respondents included 276 elementary teachers from 13 elementary schools in Calauan Sub-Office, Schools Division of Laguna. The study used a descriptive correlational design to see if the level of team trust among school personnel mediates the effect of creative school on the practice of professional learning communities. The data was gathered using a validated survey questionnaire. The data were analyzed using frequency, mean, standard deviation, Pearson-product-moment correlation and multiple regression. The study findings were summarized as teachers perceived a high practice in implementing creative school and practice of professional learning communities. The level of observing team trust is highly trusted. The correlation test between creative school and team Trust indicates a significant, strong, positive relationship. Team trust and creative school significantly impacted the practice of professional learning communities. The results suggest that team trust mediates the link between creative school and professional learning communities. Creative school and team trust account for the variance in professional learning communities. The study recommends that public teachers work hard to upgrade their physical facilities, such as ICT classrooms, school libraries, high-quality sports facilities, and physical equipment, with principals, local government agencies, and community leaders to help student learning outcomes greatly.
