The Role of School Principal Supervision in Improving the Performance of Certified Teachers

Abstract

This study explores the role of school principals in the supervision process to enhance certified teacher performance at MIN 1 and MIN 5 Pidie Jaya. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that effective supervision involves three key components: (1) Planning: Principals collaborate with teachers to establish structured schedules, clear goals, and suitable techniques for accurate performance assessments, fostering a supportive environment that boosts teacher performance. (2) Implementation: Supervision is carried out through the use of assessment instruments, class observations, and evaluation of teaching materials and learning outcomes, complemented by regular guidance and motivation. (3) Evaluation: Principals provide structured feedback and follow-up actions, such as improvement plans and additional training, to facilitate teachers’ professional development. The study concludes that the successful implementation of planning, execution, and evaluation in the supervision process at MIN 1 and MIN 5 Pidie Jaya significantly enhances teacher performance and contributes to improving the overall quality of education.
