Headmaster Strategies in Improving Teacher Competencies in the Digital Age

Abstract

In an educational institution, the Principal has a very significant role to play in the back and forth of an educational institution, since the Principal plays a very important role in the growth of an educational institution. The role of school principals in enhancing teacher competence is very critical, since it can have an effect on the progress or lack of quality of education in the school itself. In the meantime, there are still some teachers in schools who still do not have the full potential to carry out their teaching skills, such as occasionally going to class, arriving late, and lazy to teach. There is always an "empty class" during active teaching hours.There are several challenges faced by teachers. Researchers are also involved in conducting research under the title Principal Strategy to Improve Teacher Competence in the Digital Age. The analysis uses a qualitative approach. Steps in the leadership strategy of the Principal in improving the professional competence of teachers in the digital age are divided into two strategic practices, formal and informal.
