This study was conducted to narrate experiences of out-of-field Filipino teachers. Self-Efficacy scale was administered and an in-depth interview was conducted. Teacher self- efficacy as to pedagogy, narrated challenges, and ways to cope with tasks of out-of-field- teachers from a select senior high school were discussed.
