He/she makes learning possible no matter what the setting is. Also, a teacher is one of the essential inputs in any educational system. The study was conducted to describe the teachers' instructional practices in the new normal education setup and its implications on the student's academic performance at Sultan Kudarat State University-Kalamansig Campus. Descriptive-Correlation method was utilized. Ten (10) teachers and one hundred twenty-nine (129) first-year education students for the first semester participated in this study. A total number of one hundred thirty-four (139) respondents participated in this study. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Software V21 x64. Statistical tools used were the frequency and percentages counts, mean, and grand mean. The Pearson-Product moment correlation coefficient was also utilized.Teachers demonstrated effective instructional practices such as promoting a flexible learning environment practices, instructional/teaching practices, and assessment practices. Moreover, the student's performance in GE 702 and GE 704 was described as average. Further, the teachers' instructional practices have no significant relationship with the student's performance in GE 702. On the other hand, the teachers' instructional practices have a significant relationship with the student's performance in GE 704. It is recommended that instructional practices be sustained and strengthened, especially among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), to improve student performance in various academic disciplines.
