This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the research findings, it was found that: 1) Programs planned and carried out to improve teacher performance include: training/improvement of soft teacher skills, educational seminars, teacher workshops, MGMP, KKG, rewarding teachers who excel and also increase teacher incentives and provide opportunities for teachers to use IT tools in learning. 2) Obstacles to school principals in improving teacher performance are lack of motivation in increasing the professionalism of some teachers, time constraints, constraints in the financing, and lack of support from experts who can provide training or workshops in language easily understood by teachers. 3) The supporting factors for school principals in improving teacher performance are due to the fulfilment of existing school infrastructure, which supports the success of KBM (Teaching and Learning Activities).
