Abstract

This study investigates the impact of principals’ leadership strategies on teacher performance and overall school quality. Using a mixed methods approach, the study identifies key leadership practices that enhance teacher motivation, competence, and job satisfaction. The study emphasizes the importance of ongoing professional development, fostering a positive work environment, and providing consistent support and supervision. Internal factors such as intrinsic motivation and teacher competence, alongside external factors such as educational facilities and supportive leadership, significantly influence teacher performance. The findings reveal that effective principal leadership is positively correlated with improved student learning outcomes and various indicators of school quality. The study concludes with practical recommendations for principals, policy makers, and educational institutions to implement effective leadership strategies that can foster a conducive teaching environment and achieve high educational standards.
