This study was designed to determine the effect of the attitudes of teachers in terms of Clarity, Enthusiasm, Interaction, Organization, Pacing, Disclosure, Speech and Rapport on the performance of the grade-8 students of MSU-Sulu Laboratory High School. The eight components of teachers’ attitudes were used in the questionnaire to determine the attitudes of teachers. Descriptive research design was employed. The data were analyzed and interpreted using mean and t-test to determine the significant difference between the effects of the attitudes of teachers on the performance of the students.
