This study was conducted at SD Negeri 167 Palembang to examine how academic supervision strategies and the principal’s leadership style contribute to improving teacher professionalism. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation analysis. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that academic supervision was implemented in a structured and systematic manner, beginning with annual and semester supervision planning, review of lesson plans, classroom observations, and evaluation. The principal provided constructive, dialogic, and solution-oriented feedback, enabling teachers to reflect on and improve their instructional practices. The principal applied a democratic and participatory leadership style by involving teachers in decision-making, encouraging collaboration, and supporting professional development through training and group activities. Supporting factors included strong leadership commitment, collaborative work culture, adequate facilities, and effective communication, while time constraints and limited teacher openness were identified as challenges.
