The objective of this research is to evaluate the managerial influence of school principals on 25 dynamic educators in implementing an independent learning curriculum across six schools in the Gorontalo district. The study employs a quantitative methodology, utilizing questionnaires and a Likert scale (1-5) for data collection. Validation of the instruments is conducted using the product moment formula, and reliability testing is performed using the Cronbach alpha formula. Data analysis encompasses normality, linearity, simple regression, and hypothesis testing facilitated by SPSS Version 24.0. Results indicate a significant correlation between the managerial abilities of principals and the effectiveness of educator implementation of the independent curriculum, demonstrated by the simple linear regression equation: Y = 49.218 + 0.633X. Analysis of the data processing reveals that 66.7% of the variance in the educator's performance (variable Y) is influenced by the principal's managerial skills (variable X). In comparison, the remaining 33.3% is attributed to unexamined variables. This study underscores the importance of principals and motivating educators collaborating to articulate and disseminate the school's vision through a managerial framework that encompasses planning, organizing, directing, and supervising. This collaborative effort empowers both parties to actively engage and lead in fostering learning and school advancement.
