by examining the areas of management and educational assessment, as well as the
schools' amenities and facilities, content, and procedure, as well as the competency

aims to highlight how principals of Indonesian Islamic Schools promote the
academic professionalism of teachers and other educational staff members. In the

leadership talent is instructional leadership. It is associated with the core skillsets of

curriculum and instruction, instructional leadership, visionary leadership, learning
community, organizational management, collaboration, and professionalism. This
qualitative research uses a descriptive case study approach to provide a detailed

competence, and responsibility, requiring the support of a proper institutional
outcome plan. It provides evidence that the leadership style of principals influences
the academic professionalism of teachers and educational staff, directly
contributing to school quality. The excellence of the program and alumni reflects
the effectiveness of the leadership of the madrasah principal.
