ABSTRACT: Teachers play a crucial role in achieving educational goals and ensuring efficiency within the education sector. As the backbone of educational systems, teachers shape knowledge acquisition and significantly influence student outcomes. Higher teacher productivity is widely recognized to correlate with improved student learning achievements. However, numerous reports highlight instances of teacher underperformance in Baringo North and Kesses sub-counties. In light of this, this study sought to recommend strategies for enhancing teacher productivity among public secondary schools in Kesses and Baringo North sub-counties. Job demand resource theory guided the study. The study used the concurrent mixed method research design (QUANT + qual). Quantitative data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. Descriptive statistics (percentages and frequencies) and inferential statistics (simple linear regression) were used, while qualitative data were analysed using QDA Miner software. A simple regression analysis was conducted to establish the influence of selected strategies on enhancing teacher productivity. The results were Y = 1.590 + 0.666X, where X represents the strategies for enhancement. From the regression model, for every unit change in the factors affecting teacher productivity, teacher productivity changes by 0.666. This shows that an increase in strategies for enhancing teacher productivity leads to an increase in the productivity of teachers. The study’s findings showed a moderate positive correlation between strategies for enhancing teacher productivity and teacher productivity. Therefore, the study recommends that the Ministry of Education consider implementing the strategies as they increase teacher productivity.
