This study is motivated by the suboptimal level of teacher professionalism in the learning process, which necessitates the role of the principal’s leadership through the implementation of School-Based Management (SBM). The aim of this study is to describe the effectiveness of the principal’s leadership role through SBM in improving teacher professionalism at SD Negeri 1 Lambheu, Aceh Besar Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation and interviews involving one principal and three classroom teachers, and were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model. The results of the study indicate that the principal’s leadership in implementing the managerial functions of SBM has been carried out effectively. The planning function was implemented in a participatory manner by involving teachers in the preparation of school programs and learning tools. The organizing function was carried out through the distribution of tasks based on teachers’ competencies as well as the management of learning facilities. The actuating function was implemented through motivation, coaching, and strengthening collaboration among teachers, while the controlling function was carried out through classroom supervision and continuous teacher performance evaluation. The discussion shows that participative leadership of the principal is able to create a conducive and collaborative work environment, which in turn contributes to improving teachers’ performance, responsibility, and pedagogical competence. Therefore, the principal’s leadership role through the implementation of SBM contributes to the sustainable improvement of teacher professionalism at SD Negeri 1 Lambheu, Aceh Besar Regency.
