Abstract

In the field of education, teachers' professional learning community is of great significance for improving teaching quality and promoting teachers' professional growth. This paper deeply explores the impact of the principal's leadership on the teachers' professional learning community in terms of material support, spiritual motivation, establishing a trust and cooperation atmosphere, leadership style and cultural construction, as well as specific action strategies, and analyzes how these impacts ultimately affect the improvement of school teaching quality and student learning outcomes. The research results show that the principal's leadership has a positive impact on PLC in many aspects, thereby indirectly improving student learning outcomes.
