Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategic management of the head of Madrasah Aliyah Private Darussalam Parmeraan in improving students' academic achievement, which includes aspects of planning, implementation, and evaluation of strategies. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving madrasah heads, curriculum leaders, teachers, and students. The results of the study show that strategy planning is carried out in a visionary, collaborative, and based on mapping students' potential. The head of the madrasah prepares programs based on the interests and talents of students that are integrated in academic and religious activities. This process is in line with George R. Terry's theory of strategic planning and Bryson's model which emphasizes participation and identification of the internal and external environment. In the implementation stage, the head of the madrasah shows active leadership in organizing resources, shaping policies, and building an organizational culture that supports the implementation of strategies. Programs such as enrichment, remedial, teacher training, and Olympic coaching are carried out with strong coordination between the head of the madrasah and all educators. This reflects the principles of implementation strategy according to Fred R. David which underlines the importance of organizational structure, division of roles, and effective communication. At the evaluation stage, the head of the madrasah implements a systematic and participatory review mechanism through regular meetings, academic supervision, and study forums. The evaluation was carried out based on student and teacher performance data, with follow-up in the form of remedial programs and teacher professional development. This approach is not only a control, but also a means of organizational learning. Thus, the management strategy carried out by the head of the madrasah shows consistency and effectiveness in encouraging the continuous improvement of students' academic achievement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the servant leadership of madrasah heads in improving teacher performance at Al-Washliyah Private Aliyah Madrasah, Medan Area District, Medan City. This study uses a qualitative approach with case studies to explore the leadership role of madrasah heads in improving teacher performance. This study used 9 informants as primary data that were selected purposively. Data were collected through non-participant observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation studies. The validity of the data is maintained by triangulation techniques, comparing data from interviews, observations, and documentation to ensure the validity and accuracy of the findings. The results of this study show that the decline in teacher performance at the Al-Washliyah Private Aliyah Madrasah Medan Area is caused by the leadership crisis of the madrasah head, which can be seen from the physical and emotional absence of the madrasah head, lack of supervision, and hampered communication. The absence of consistent evaluation and reward also reduces teachers' motivation and self-efficacy, as well as affects their professional and spiritual development. The application of servant leadership by the head of the madrasah is very relevant and effective to overcome this problem, because the concept emphasizes the leader as a servant who listens, provides support, and facilitates teacher development. By applying principles such as empathy, collaboration, and recognition, madrasah heads can create a positive work climate and support teacher performance improvement. Supporting factors in improving teacher performance include humanist and visionary leadership, as well as fostering supervision and evaluation, while the main inhibiting factors are passive, bureaucratic leadership styles, lack of communication, and lack of consistent rewards.
