This study aims to examine the role of madrasah heads in improving teacher professionalism through the application of Islamic education management principles. Teacher professionalism plays a crucial role in achieving quality learning, encompassing not only aspects of teaching competence but also the application of Islamic teachings in teachers' behavior and work ethics. In this research, the researcher uses a qualitative research method with a type of library research approach. This study analyzes various related literature to describe in detail the role of madrasah heads in supporting the development of teacher professionalism. The results of the study show that the head of the madrasah has six main roles, namely as a manager, evaluator, administrator, supervisor, leader, and motivator. Each of these roles contributes to the improvement of teachers' pedagogical competence, professional ethics, and learning innovation. In the context of Islamic education, the application of principles such as sincerity, honesty, justice, trust, and responsibility is the foundation in building professionalism that is not only oriented to academic results but also to the formation of Islamic character. It is hoped that this research can contribute to formulating educational policies and improving teacher competence in Islamic teachings in madrasah.
