Developments in the internal and external environment of schools and increasingly rapid technological advances will increase society's demands for the quality of input, processes, output, and outcomes from a school. Meanwhile, there are still many fundamental contradictions between the need to improve the quality of learning and the limitations faced in achieving the school's Vision, Mission, and Goals. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of schoolwork programs to anticipate society's demands. The research aims to describe and analyze planning, organizing, mobilizing/implementing, controlling/supervising, evaluating solutions, and the impact of school work programs' quality management in improving teachers' pedagogical competence at Al Azhar Islamic Middle School 6, 8, and 9, Bekasi City. This research is based on management theory from GR Terry (2010), educational theory from John Dewey (2008), quality management theory from JM Juran (1995), and others. This research used a qualitative approach, and case studies were the primary method. The research results show that quality management of school work programs is vital in improving teacher pedagogical competence. In this context, schools must design and manage school work programs according to the vision, mission, objectives, and needs for learning quality. Management of the quality of school work programs can include systematic planning, synergistically organized, consistently implemented, controlled, periodically evaluated, and comprehensive. All of this turns out to be able to contribute positively to increasing teacher pedagogical competence.
