Strategic leadership is one of the leadership practices inherent in the education world and is believed to influence the teaching quality. The 2013-2025 PPPM report shows that teacher collaboration is one of the elements that can improve teaching quality. Previous studies have shown different findings on strategic leadership practices, teacher collaboration and teaching quality and many other studies have focused on specific aspects of the implementation process but have not studied the process thoroughly. This study aims to identify the collaborative role of teachers in relation to strategic leadership and teaching quality. In particular, researchers have examined the levels of strategic leadership, teacher collaboration and the teaching quality. The relationships among the variables are also investigated. This quantitative study involved 300 teachers, identified by stratified random sampling, representing the 2 types of maahad school, Maahad Kawalan dan Maahad Pilihan, in the state of Kelantan. Data were collected from distributed questionnaires and systematically analysed utilizing descriptive and inferential analysis with the aim of improving the validity of findings and interpretation. The findings show that there are differences between the levels of teacher collaborative practice in both categories; whereas the findings for the strategic leadership level and the teaching quality indicate that there is no difference between the two categories. Further findings show that there is a relationship between strategic leadership and teaching quality; strategic leadership and teacher collaboration; teacher collaboration and teaching quality. The findings also show that teacher collaboration is a partial mediator in the relationship between strategic leadership and teaching quality. Based on the findings, it is proposed that school leaders should continue to strengthen collaborative practices among teachers as an effort to improve teaching quality in their respective schools which will, in turn help to improve school excellence, especially across the current era of globalization.
