Physical Activity Towards and Health and Fitness 1 (PATHFit1): Movement Competency Training aims to restore the basic movement pattern, which is made up of both locomotor and non-locomotor skills. The focus will be on exercise progression and regression to improve fitness and adapt movement skills to pursuit of independent physical activity. The purpose of the paper is to correlate the pedagogical practices and teaching performance in PATHFit1 in the Local Universities and Colleges in the National Capital Region (NCR). This study used a descriptive comparative-correlational research design utilizing stratified random sampling. Slovin’s formula was used to derive the teacher samples. Out of 116, 90 PATHFit1 teachers were employed as respondents including all 33 Physical Education Supervisors from Local Universities and Colleges in NCR. The study concluded that most of the teacher-respondents have advanced degrees and have participated in numerous professional trainings and seminars. Nearly half have over 11 years of teaching experience. Classroom management and student engagement are the strengths for pedagogical practices. However, teaching modalities, particularly for student motivation and engagement, need to be improved. Instructional delivery engages students well, but there is a need for more support in planning and design. Enhancing multimedia tool usage and inclusive engagement strategies can further improve instruction quality and create a more dynamic learning environment for all students. Higher educational attainment and tailored professional development is crucial for continuous growth, and ongoing support is essential regardless of teachers' tenure. Teachers and supervisors share a common perspective in their evaluations of pedagogical practices and teaching performance, due to shared criteria, common teaching objectives, a collaborative environment, joint professional development, and objective assessment measures. Teachers excelling in pedagogical practices also perform better in their teaching roles. This correlation emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement and professional development to enhance overall teaching quality.
