Abstract

Background/purpose. Analysis of educational report cards shows that instructional leadership contributes significantly to improving educational standards. With an emphasis on initiative and collaborative efforts to improve literacy and numeracy outcomes, this study explores the role of instructional leadership in three high schools with different leadership styles. Human resources (HR) are the primary factor in implementing the School Transformation Program (STP).

Materials/methods. This research was conducted in Mataram City. This research uses a qualitative methodology and collects information from educators and school principals through observation, documentation, and interviews.

Results. The findings of the study show that effective instructional leadership techniques for implementing the school's vision and mission are based on an analysis of educational report cards, which recommend prioritized planning, including training teachers, creating a supportive learning environment, and developing a curriculum aligned with student needs. In addition, education report cards are periodically evaluated as part of the preparation of the School Activity Budget Plan (SABP) each year. Planning is based on a priority scale that accounts for advantages and disadvantages in the learning process.

Conclusion. Effective and collaborative instructional leadership can improve students' literacy and numeracy achievement, thereby enhancing overall educational standards. To analyze the education report card optimally, visionary instructional leadership is needed to align the school's vision and mission with efforts to improve literacy and numeracy achievement.
