Abstract

This study examines the role of madrasah principal leadership in improving teacher performance at Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Jamaah, Indragiri Hilir, Riau Province. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study collected data through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, vice principals, teachers, and students. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with triangulation applied to ensure credibility. The findings reveal that the principal improves teacher performance through strategic planning, academic supervision, professional development programs, motivation, and continuous evaluation. Teacher collaboration and leadership support emerged as key supporting factors, while limited facilities, heavy workloads, and differences in teacher motivation were major challenges. The study highlights that effective madrasah leadership requires continuous guidance, collaboration, and professional development to strengthen teacher capacity and educational quality.
