The research aimed to assess how targeted professional learning initiatives  \ninfluence teaching performance and foster physical literacy among students. Data were collected  \nfrom a sample of three physical and health education teachers and 128 MYP Year 1 students,  \nselected from a total population of 391 students across MYP Years 1–4. Quantitative analysis  \nrevealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ physical literacy after one academic  \nyear, with notable differences between Unit 1 and Unit 2 test scores (M = -3.625, SD = 3.76473,  \nt(127) = -10.894, p \u003C .000) . Improvements included increased physical fitness, enhanced self  \nconfidence, and a deeper understanding of healthy lifestyle practices. The findings provide evidence  \nthat comprehensive, context-specific professional development can significantly improve teaching  \nquality and positively influence student outcomes in physical education. The study recommends  \nfostering a collaborative school culture that supports ongoing communication and professional  \ngrowth tailored to educators’ needs. The results of this current study will contribute a useful  \nframework for fair and scalable professional development, giving teachers, school leaders, and  \npolicymakers who want to improve teaching quality in difficult situations useful information.  \nKeywords: International baccalaureate, Physical education, Physical literacy, Professional development, Student outcomes, Teacher effectiveness.  \nCitation | Sodiya, O.
