This study evaluates the roles and participation levels of School Heads and Education Program Supervisors (EPS) in enhancing Araling Panlipunan (AP) instruction across the DepEd Region IV-A CALABARZON. Employing a descriptive research methodology, the investigation involved administering a researcher-made survey questionnaire to a 371 respondents’ random sample of educational leaders, focusing on their engagement in curriculum implementation, resource allocation, and professional development. The findings indicate that School Heads exhibit a high degree of proactive involvement in curriculum guidance, monitoring, and fostering collaboration among teaching staff. Furthermore, the EPS's role was highlighted as crucial in providing support and training, offering constructive feedback, facilitating and emphasizing the importance of continuous professional development for maintaining instructional quality. Significant differences were noted in resource allocation practices and adoption of teaching strategies based on demographic variables such as age and sex, highlighting underlying disparities that influence educational outcomes. Recommendations from this study include the enhancement of leadership training programs, expansion of professional development opportunities, implementation of equitable resource distribution, promotion of collaborative environments, and proposal of a tailored technical assistance plan aligned with the MATATAG agenda. These measures aim to address the identified gaps and to optimize educational practices within the region.
