Abstract
Modern education shows that enforcing discipline is not merely a matter of rules, but serves as a key factor in shaping character, improving the quality of learning, and sustaining a professional work culture within an educational institution. This study aims to analyze the principal’s strategies in enforcing teacher discipline along with the design and implementation of specific and transparent policies. This research employs a qualitative approach by interviewing principals regarding their efforts in enforcing teacher discipline, which were analyzed using descriptive analysis methods. The findings reveal that principals employ various strategies to enforce teacher discipline, including building good communication with teachers, providing clear guidance, direction, and motivation, as well as developing specific policy strategies regarding punishment and reward systems. Furthermore, principals also conduct regular meetings to discuss teacher discipline issues and provide special training on the ethics of discipline enforcement. The contribution of this research lies in providing an empirical overview of the principal’s strategies in enforcing teacher discipline, which not only strengthens character and professionalism but also serves as a practical reference for the development of educational management in schools.
