On the other hand, a significant relationship was found between resistance to change and teaching performance, with p <= 0.000. And a significant relationship was found between teaching performance and resistance to change dimensions such as inertia (p <= 0.003), participation (p <= 0.000), negotiation (p <= 0.030) and coercion (p <= 0.012). Conclusion. Resistance to change and teaching performance of educators of the Educational Institution La Inmaculada Concepción de Huanuco have a statistically negative correlation.
