Abstract This study investigated the collaborative leadership of school heads from teachers' views. This study ascertained the experiences, realizations, and insights of eight teachers of Bagong Taas Elementary School, Mabuhay Elementary School, Totoy Elementary School, and San Jose Elementary School, Monkayo West District, Davao de Oro, as they experienced the collaborative leadership of school heads. In the course of the study, those experiences, realizations, and insights of eight teachers were identified. Using a qualitative phenomenological research design, data analysis revealed that the collaborative leadership of the school head developed and empowered teachers to do their teaching effectively, but poor collaboration reduced the motivation and productivity of teachers. The data revealed that teachers addressed the challenges encountered in the collaborative leadership of school heads by helping one another to remain strong, communicating with the school head to inform the situation, and saying no to additional tasks. Indeed, the data revealed further that the best practices of collaborative leadership of school heads foster effective communication, build harmonious relationships, and build effective teamwork among teachers. As a result, the teachers realized that using an interactive teaching approach is very important because it promotes a positive learning environment for both teachers and learners. Teachers, school heads, and higher authorities must continue to provide their support to make the collaborative leadership of school heads more effective and efficient.
