Data analysis was conducted interactively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that teacher career development was implemented through three main stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. In the planning stage, schools systematically conducted needs analysis and teacher competency mapping. The implementation stage was carried out through training, workshops, mentoring, learning communities, and additional assignments to improve teacher professionalism. The evaluation stage involved supervision, performance appraisal, and continuous feedback. The results also showed that principals’ support played a significant role in enhancing teachers’ competence, motivation, collaboration, and learning quality. Structured career development programs were proven to improve educational quality, strengthen learning culture, and sustain teacher professionalism in primary schools. This study recommends strengthening needs-based career development programs, improving supporting facilities, and conducting continuous evaluation so that teachers’ competencies can develop optimally in line with educational and technological advancements to support innovative, adaptive, and sustainable learning quality nationally.]]>
