Managerial mentoring in a collaborative manner is an effective strategy to improve the ability of Madrasah heads in preparing Madrasah Work Plans (RKM). This assistance is carried out through an approach based on cooperation, sharing, and discussion without being patronizing. Through this approach, Madrasah heads feel helped in carrying out their tasks, especially in preparing the RKM which is a reference for Madrasah management. The drafted RKM aims to: (1) achieve predetermined goals, (2) support coordination among stakeholders in Madrasah, (3) ensure consistency between planning, budgeting, implementation, and supervision, (4) optimize community participation, and (5) use resources efficiently, effectively, and sustainably. The results showed that the ability of Madrasah heads in preparing RKM had increased significantly after the assistance. In Cycle I, the average score of the RKM prepared was 74.70, increasing to 81.37 in Cycle II, with an increase of 8.93%. This finding shows that collaborative managerial assistance is effective in improving the competence of Madrasah heads in preparing quality RKM.

This research aims to determine the influence of the managerial competence of school principals at Al-Ulum Integrated Islamic Middle School in Medan. This research uses a quantitative approach with descriptive methods using a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The population in this study was 30 teachers, so the sample size in this study was 30 teachers, because the population was less than 100, based on Suharsimi Arikunto opinion, the entire population was used (population study). The main data collection technique uses a 5 Likert scale answer choice form. Data is analyzed using simple linear regression to test the research hypothesis.  Based on the data processing carried out statistical testing resulted in Ho being rejected and Ha being accepted, which explains that there is an influence of the principal's managerial competence on teacher performance. This is obtained from the result of the Pearson correlation test which shows that the value is 0.512 > tubel 0.361 and the results of the simple linear regression test produce contribution Y’ = 100.242 + 0.322 X, so the results of this test explain that there is a correlation between the managerial comptence of school principals and teacher performance.apart from that, tests are carried out T-test which produced a t-count of 3.157 > t-table, namely 2.048, with a significance value of 0.004 < 5% (0.05). The results in the ANOVA table also support the acceptance of Ha, where the sig. 0.004 < alpha value or 0.05. So, the hypothesis simultaneously proves that there is a significant influence between the managerial competence of school principals on teacher performance. Calculation of the coefficient of determination shows that the principal's managerial competency variable is able to explain the student learning achievement variable by 26,2%.
