The purpose of this study is to describe how the planning, implementation, and follow-up of academic supervision are carried out at SDN 006 Sorek Dua and SDN 014 in Pangkalan Kuras District, with specific objectives to: (1) analyze the planning of academic supervision conducted by school principals; (2) analyze the implementation of academic supervision for teachers; and (3) analyze the follow-up of academic supervision evaluations carried out by school principals for teachers in both schools. This research employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to explore the experiences of principals and teachers related to academic supervision. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of academic supervision is influenced by the quality of planning, implementation, and follow-up conducted by school principals. (1) At SDN 006 Sorek Dua, planning was systematic, written, data-based, and involved teachers, whereas at SDN 014 Sialang Indah it remained flexible. (2) Implementation at SDN 006 Sorek Dua was communicative, reflective, and marked by the active involvement of the principal in classroom observations and constructive feedback. (3) Follow-up at SDN 006 Sorek Dua was structured through teacher coaching, peer mentoring, and comprehensive documentation, whereas at SDN 014 Sialang Indah it was incidental, weak in documentation, and not yet integrated into teacher development programs.
