Aims: This study aims to analyze strategies to improve teacher performance at MIN 6 Medan City by examining the roles of work attitude, commitment, and academic supervision, both individually and simultaneously.

Study Design: We used a qualitative case study approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomena within the madrasah environment.

Place and Duration of Study: The research was conducted at MIN 6 Medan City over six months, from January to June 2025.

Methodology: Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. Informants included the head of madrasah, supervisors, and both ASN and honorary teachers. Data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, & Saldana model—covering data reduction, presentation, and conclusion—while validity was tested through triangulation of sources, methods, and time.

Results: The findings reveal that positive work attitudes enhance teacher discipline and learning quality, strong commitment fosters loyalty and responsibility, and academic supervision supports competence development, though still limited to administrative aspects. Together, these three factors significantly contribute to teacher performance improvement.

Conclusion: Teacher performance can be strengthened through integrated efforts that foster positive work attitudes, build strong commitment, and implement constructive, sustainable academic supervision. The study implies that enhancing these aspects is essential for improving educational quality in madrasah settings.
