This article discusses a comparison of leadership in the context of good and less good schools. Leadership in educational institutions is very important for achieving academic goals and developing student character. However, leadership at elementary school A and elementary school B has differences in leadership style. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with school leaders at SDN A and SDN B. Data analysis was carried out using the thematic analysis method. The results of the research show that leadership in SDN A schools is more focused on achieving educational goals, while leadership in SDN B schools, on the other hand, is not focused on achieving academic or other targets. In the context of educational development in Indonesia, this research can provide insight and understanding of the differences in leadership in two different schools. The conclusion of this research is that as a leader it is important to understand and adapt leadership styles to achieve mutual success in accordance with national education goals. In implementing research results, leadership training programs to improve quality, increase communication and collaboration, improve resource management systems, and increase innovation and creativity can be carried out as concrete steps to improve the quality of leadership in schools. It is hoped that the results of this research can provide guidance for educational leaders in improving the quality of leadership and educational development in Indonesia in accordance with national education goals.

The purpose of this study was to determine: 1) increasing mathematical connection abilities through a contextual approach. Educational science is a continuation of education. Education and Culture continues to carry out reforms and innovations in the field of education, one of which is curriculum renewal and innovation, namely the birth of the 2013 curriculum which is a shift in the development paradigm from the 20th century to the 21st century. Mathematics is one of the mandatory subjects in the 2013 curriculum which plays a very important role in improving human resources. Mathematical connection abilities are closely related to problem solving abilities which of course will help students to improve their mathematical connections, and vice versa. Therefore, it is very important that mathematical connection abilities to be able to improve students' mathematical connection abilities through contextual learning are a very appropriate choice. Johnson (2010:35) states that contextual learning and teaching involves students in important activities that help them relate academic lessons to the real-life contexts they face. Based on the results of research by experts, the average normalized gain score for mathematical connection abilities of students who were given contextual learning was higher than students who were given regular learning. The results of this study show that the average increase in the mathematical connection abilities of students who were given contextual learning was higher than that of students who were given regular learning.
