Abstract

This study investigates the influence of school leadership behavior on the effective implementation of Learning Action Cell (LAC) programs, a professional development initiative aimed at enhancing teaching practices in basic education. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research explores how leadership styles, communication, decision-making, and support systems affect teacher engagement and the overall success of LAC sessions. Findings reveal that transformational and participative leadership behaviors significantly contribute to the sustainability and impact of LAC implementation, fostering collaboration, reflective practice, and instructional improvement. The study underscores the critical role of school leaders in shaping professional learning environments and provides recommendations for strengthening leadership capacity to support continuous teacher development.
