Teachers are one component in the education system that has a very large role in achieving educational goals. The role of teachers is not only to convey knowledge to students, but in general teachers also act as skilled and reliable educational administrators. This is a task that is no less important than the main task of a teacher. because this is a support that if the teacher neglects it will hinder the achievement of educational goals. Teachers are one of the components in the education system that have a very large role in achieving educational goals. Teachers not only act as providers of knowledge to students. In general, teachers also act as educational administrators. According to Oteng Sutrisna (1986) in Abin Syamsudin and Nandang Budiman, 2005, administration is an activity or effort to help serve, direct, or organize all activities in achieving a goal. Educational administration is the entire process of mobilizing everything, both personal, spiritual, and material, related to achieving educational goals. The definition of administration comes from Latin Ad = intensive and Ministrare = to serve, help, fulfill, administration refers to activities or efforts to help, serve, direct, or organize all activities in achieving a goal. Based on the results of an interview with a junior high school teacher, he said that if a teacher is able to carry out all his duties in education and is able to play a role in school administration, it can be said that the teacher is able to meet the demands of a teacher's professionalism. He also said that the overall process and joint activities that must be carried out by all parties related to educational tasks. The purpose of educational administration is to increase piety to God Almighty, enhance morality, or strengthen the spirit of nationalism to become a human being who is a builder, has intelligence and is skilled. and the function of educational administration is a series of cooperation processes to achieve educational goals. The scope of educational administration personnel consists of: • Material administration field: school legality, financial administration, equipment. • Personal administration field: teacher and school employee issues • Curriculum administration field: curriculum implementation, curriculum development, syllabus preparation, daily preparation. • The role of teachers in curriculum administration. Based on Law number 2 of 1989, the curriculum is defined as a set of plans and arrangements regarding the content and learning materials and methods used as guidelines for organizing teaching and learning activities. The role of teachers in curriculum administration is to compile a curriculum as a guideline for the teaching and learning process in an institution in order to succeed and facilitate useful activities in the institution. • The role of teachers in student administration is the process of managing all matters relating to students in a school starting from planning new students, guiding new students during orientation, coaching while students are at school, recording student achievement results in class, until students complete their education through creating a conducive atmosphere for the ongoing teaching and learning process. According to Sutisna (1991:46), (in Mohammat Syaifudin, 2007: 2.38) the duties of teachers in student administration are: Selecting new students; Organizing learning; Controlling student attendance; Conducting academic/vocational competency tests; Implementing career guidance and graduate tracking. ➢ The role of teachers in personnel administration is; Creating employee master books; Helping to smooth out policies in personnel such as promotions, transfers (mutations), dismissals (retirements, dismissals) leave and so on.; Making school and employee data reports; Preparing the principal's decree on the teaching and learning process, assignment letter, power of attorney, etc. There are also obstacles faced by these teachers, namely: • Difficulty managing an effective and efficient teaching and learning process according to the RPP that has been made • Still having difficulty implementing the new curriculum • Some teachers still have a high individualistic nature so that it is difficult to cooperate in providing innovative and creative input in improving the quality of school services. Ways to overcome these obstacles are: • Before making a lesson plan, carefully calculate the time allocation with the content of the material to be delivered. See the class situation and respond quickly if it is different from what is expected • Conduct a simulation/trial of the new curriculum with colleagues who already understand the new curriculum, then make an assessment, do this routinely until they really understand and can implement it in class. • The principal must be able to make the atmosphere in the teacher's room more relaxed and pleasant, communicate often and by itself individual nature will decrease.
