<![CDATA[Elementary education in the Independent Curriculum era positions teachers as facilitators and learning leaders who encourage students to actively participate in the learning process (student agency). This study aims to describe the learning strategies implemented by the leading teacher at Tanjungsari Elementary School to foster student leadership. The research method used a qualitative descriptive approach using interviews, observations, and documentation with the leading teacher, the principal, and fifth-grade students. The results indicate that the leading teacher implements student-centered learning by emphasizing three main aspects: voice, choice, and ownership. Students are given the opportunity to express their opinions, choose their learning methods, and take responsibility for their learning outcomes. These strategies have resulted in increased student independence, self-confidence, and active engagement in the classroom. This study concludes that the leading teacher plays a crucial role in fostering student leadership through participatory and reflective learning.]]>
