Abstract
The role of the principal is very important in improving teacher performance. Good or bad teacher performance cannot be separated from the role of the school principal. The purpose of this study was to describe the leadership role of school principals to improve teacher performance in Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) institutional units. The method used is descriptive qualitative research. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the leadership role of the principal as educator, manager, and supervisor is very important. However, in Kartika VII-8 Kindergarten the implementation was not optimal. This is due to a lack of knowledge about managerial and supervision as well as the age factor. Besides that, the support from the Foundation is also very influential.
