This community-based educational service program focused on empowering Information and Communication Technology teachers through a behavioral approach to Computer-Aided Design to address curriculum-oriented pedagogical challenges. Teachers and prospective instructional designers collaboratively developed and evaluated Computer-Based Instruction resources within a community service framework. Instructional quality and teacher perceptions were assessed using structured instruments. The results show that behavioral Computer-Aided Design enhances instructional effectiveness and is positively received for classroom use. The program demonstrates that community-based initiatives grounded in behavioral instructional design can strengthen teachers’ pedagogical competence, improve learner engagement, and support curriculum alignment, offering a sustainable and replicable model for teacher empowerment.
