This study aimed identified the preparations, challenges and coping mechanisms of the Mathematics teachers in the implementation of the new normal learning delivery modality in Tacloban City Division during school year 2020-2021 as basis for a proposed intervention scheme. It tested the following hypotheses: 1) There is no significant relationship between the profiles and the extent of preparations relative to the implementation of the new normal learning delivery modality; 2) There is no significant relationship between the profiles and the challenges encountered in the implementation of the new normal learning delivery modality; and 3) There is no significant relationship between the profiles and the coping strategies employed
in relation to the challenges encountered. The study employed the descriptive-correlational research design. It employed 112 Math teachers in the 16 public secondary schools. The study used a self-made questionnaire. The data were statistically treated using the following: percentage, weighted mean, and Spearman Rank-Order correlation coefficient. The study has the following major findings: majority of the Math teachers lacked advanced degrees; they perceived the preparations for the new normal learning delivery modality to be moderately sufficient only; many challenges were encountered in the implementation of the new normal learning delivery modality, however, these were moderate only; they often utilized coping strategies in relation to the challenges encountered, most common of which was through prayers, maintaining support group such as friends and joining chat groups, and maintaining positive attitude. It was concluded that there was still a need for more preparations in relation to the implementation of the new normal learning delivery modality. Furthermore, it was concluded that despite the many challenges encountered, the respondents were able to positively cope up. Consequently, it was recommended that the output of the study, which was the intervention plan be implemented.
