This study aims to describe the role of the principal in improving the quality of teaching and to identify the strategies used by the principal of RA Nurul Qur'an in improving the quality of teaching during the 2025/2026 academic year. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The research subjects were the principal and one teacher at RA Nurul Qur'an, Pemenang District, North Lombok. The study was conducted from May 25 to June 12, 2026. The results show that: (1) The principal's roles in improving teaching quality include acting as a manager (scheduling supervision, coordinating regular meetings, evaluating programs), a leader (providing motivation, being a role model, listening to complaints, appreciating achievements), an educator (guiding teaching methods, assisting lesson plan preparation, helping with classroom difficulties), and a supervisor (classroom visits, oral feedback, direct demonstration, motivation). Teachers' teaching quality is generally good in professional and social competencies, but still weak in time discipline and the use of learning media. (2) The strategies used by the principal include: internal and external training, classroom visits and reflective discussions, providing appreciation and support, involving related parties (parents, committees, other teachers), giving trust in lesson planning, and collaborative decision-making. The main supporting factor is teacher cohesiveness, while the biggest inhibiting factors are limited funds and lack of local government support.References
