Due to the new normal setting, health protocols limit the number of people allowed inside an establishment and so work from home strategy arises. This study aimed to assess the correlation of work from home strategy on teachers? effectiveness and efficiency. It tried to answer the following questions: 1) What is the level of teachers? work from home strategy in terms of (a) Accuracy, (b) Working Area, (c) Expenses, and (d) Time Management? 2) What is the level of teachers? effectiveness and efficiency in terms of (a) Instruction, (b) Virtual Class Management, and (c) Teaching Strategies? 3) Is there a significant correlation between work from home strategy and teachers? effectiveness and efficiency? Based on the analysis of the data gathered, it was found out that the level of teachers? work from home strategy in terms of accuracy is ?very high? with an overall mean of 4.32 and a standard deviation of 0.717. As to working area, they have a ?very high? level as reflected on the overall mean of 4.38 and a standard deviation of 0.638. Their level of expenses is ?high? given its overall mean of 3.74 and standard deviation of 1.000. In terms of time management, they have a ?very high? level as seen on its overall mean of 4.25 and standard deviation of 0.715. Meanwhile, it was also found out that the level of teachers? effectiveness and efficiency in terms of instruction is ?high? as shown on its overall mean of 4.19 and standard deviation of 0.684. As to virtual class management, teachers have a ?high? level with an overall mean of 3.97 and a standard deviation of 0.792. Their level of teaching strategies ?very high? was reflected on its overall mean of 4.27 and standard deviation of 0.665. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant correlation between work from home strategies and teachers? effectiveness and efficiency.
