There is no significant relationship between level of master teachers performance and level of job satisfaction since the computed value of X2 is equal to 7.362 which is lower than the tabular value of x2 which is 9.488. CONCLUSION In the light of the foregoing findings, the following conclusions are drawn: 1. The demographic profile of master teacher respondents revealed that majority of them belonged to ages 51 - 55. Thus their sense of belongingness ranked no. 1 because they have worked and stayed long in the school, witnessing their co-teachers developed their own closeness in interpersonal relationship with one another have been established. 2. The teaching performance level of master teachers in terms of maintenance and motivation factors have earned them the respect of their colleagues which ranked number 1 in the survey. Thus, feeling of fulfillment inspire the master teachers to dedicate themselves in their work. They consider themselves as partners in molding the youths. 3. Master teachers consider staff development as an area for teachers training and enhancement of their leadership potentials. 4. Gender and civil status has significant relationship to teaching performance. However we can not conclude that only married teachers can teach effectively, because our teachers undergo training's and attend conferences for teaching and seminars for upgrading their teaching competencies. 5. There is no significant relationship between the level of teaching performance and job satisfaction among master teachers are already seasoned teachers and trained in the area of responsibilities, they may devote themselves in their work but not necessarily happy because the salary does not compensate their heavy responsibilities like supervising problem teachers. RECOMMENDATIONS In view of the findings and conclusions of this study, the following recommendations are offered: 1. Is is strongly recommended that school principals should take steps to promulgate and consistently implement policies, program for master teachers gearing towards excellent job performance. If the school principals observed that master teachers can effectively lead teachers and supervise them to teach effectively, an endorsement should be given. 2. Equal opportunities should be extended to master teachers should they qualify for administrative position. 3. Master teachers should be given added workshop activities in order to enhance their creative talents and leadership styles. In this way, they can use their knowledge and skills for the improvement of instruction and to assist the teachers. 4. Enhancing further the knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies, master teachers in the areas of curriculum and pupil development through seminar workshops for quality education among students. 5. Master teachers should be given intensive training on research. 6. In the light of these findings, the following topics are suggested for further investigation: 6.1 A comparative study of the performance of master teachers I and II in another locale. 6.2 A comparative study of the pupil achievement of master teachers and regular classroom teachers.
