The research method used is a qualitative phenomenological approach with “emic” perception with descriptive analysis. The results of the study are as follows; First, the principal’s strategy in carrying out educational supervision at Wadungasri Waru State Elementary School is carried out by visiting classes, summoning teachers personally using personal conversation techniques, and objective assessments. Second, the supporting factors in the implementation of educational supervision are teachers’ discipline in carrying out their duties and responsibilities, adequate teacher competence and skills, and high teacher work ethic. Third, the obstacles faced by school principals in the implementation of educational supervision are the existence of different teacher motivations in teaching in schools, the lack of teacher competence in teaching, the lack of mastery of learning methods, the lack of teachers’ mastery of the use of information technology media, the inadequate facilities and infrastructure in learning Islamic religious education, which has implications for the lack of achievement of learning targets or objectives. As a solution to overcome these obstacles, the principal of Wadungasri Waru State Elementary School always motivates teachers to always devote themselves through teaching and learning activities, providing rewards and punishments to teachers, delegating teachers to participate in education and training activities, and efforts to collaborate with various parties in completing various school needs
