Teacher Performance, School Leadership, LeadershipAbstract
The research aims to find out the influence of leadership and the ability of school principals on teacher performance. The method that can be used is a qualitative method with a questionnaire technique from the results of interviews, observation and documentation carried out to obtain data from school principals, teachers, administration and school committees. Furthermore, data validation was carried out and compared the results of interviews with the results of observations and documentation. The research findings show that the success of education in schools is largely determined by the success of school principals in managing the educational staff available in schools. The principal is one of the components of education that is influential in improving teacher performance. From the findings above it can be concluded as follows: (1) Partial hypothesis testing proves that there is a positive influence of each variable on leadership and ability on teacher performance, (2) simultaneously proves that there is a significant and positive influence between leadership and ability together with teacher performance The recommendations that are important to consider are: (1) In order to pay attention to improving the leadership of school principals to maintain leadership and ability by providing explanations about what must be done, how well they do it and what can be done to improve performance when teaching. (2) pay attention to the dimensions of ability. For example, professionalism can be increased by providing training for teachers to serve students. (3) making clear individual performance benchmarks/assessments every year, where the performance includes the leadership and abilities possessed by each teacher.
