Abstract

Implementation of School Principal Management in Improving the Performance of Educators and Education Personnel at SDN 9 Muara Kelantan, Siak Regency This study aims to analyze the implementation of school principal management in improving the performance of educators and education personnel at SDN 9 Muara Kelantan, Siak Regency. The performance of educators and education personnel in a school depends on how the school principal manages various aspects, from human resource management, educational planning, to evaluation and supervision. Therefore, the principal plays an essential role in creating a conducive environment for improving the quality of education and the performance of teachers. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive research design. The data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and document review. The informants in this study consisted of the school principal, teachers, administrative staff, and parents of students at SDN 9 Muara Kelantan. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques with source and method triangulation to ensure the validity of the findings. The results of the study show that the implementation of school principal management at SDN 9 Muara Kelantan has been running well, although there are still some challenges, especially in terms of facilities and professional training for educators. The school principal plays a significant role in improving the performance of educators by conducting thorough planning, providing constructive feedback, and ensuring good communication among all education personnel. However, the lack of optimal professional development and limited facilities remain obstacles to achieving the goal of improving the quality of education. This research provides important implications for educational leadership theories and school-based management, as well as offering recommendations for school principals and education managers to strengthen educator professional development programs, improve human resource management, and collaborate with various parties to improve school facilities.
