Abstract: This study explores the roles of head teachers in implementing the curriculum and their influence on enhancing teachers’ instructional practices. It also investigates the challenges head teachers face in fulfilling their leadership responsibilities. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study integrates qualitative and quantitative data to provide a comprehensive analysis. The findings reveal that, among the four dimensions of transformational leadership, head teachers demonstrate relatively low intellectual stimulation and inspirational motivation, as perceived by teacher respondents. Furthermore, head teachers report encountering significant challenges in executing their duties effectively. Based on these findings, the study recommends targeted professional development programs to strengthen transformational leadership capacities, particularly fostering critical thinking, creativity, and innovation in teaching practices. Training should also emphasize developing effective communication skills to articulate a clear and inspiring vision that motivates teachers toward shared educational goals. Additionally, the implementation of regular feedback systems and teacher recognition initiatives is encouraged to enhance staff motivation. The study underscores the need for head teachers to adopt more strategic and inspiring leadership approaches to optimize curriculum implementation and improve instructional quality.
