The teaching profession is not just a vehicle to channel hobbies, but is a job that must be occupied and requires seriousness in living it. To realize maximum expertise as educators, teachers need to improve their competence. In Law no. 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers [1] states that teachers are professional educators with the main task of educating, teaching, guiding, directing, training, assessing, and evaluating students

Teacher performance is fundamental in order to maintain and improve the quality of education at all levels of education. As the spearhead and main actor in creating human resources in schools, it is necessary for teachers to get strengthening in their competence aspects. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine in depth the efforts to improve teacher performance through strengthening their competence.

Data were collected using SPSS version 24 and analyzed using simple linear regression.

The author believes that through strengthening the competence of teachers, their performance can increase. The author's belief is evident from the processed field data, it turns out that the contribution of variable X (Competence) to Y (Teacher Performance) is 0.374 or 37.4%. Therefore, if teacher competence is improved, it will immediately improve teacher performance in schools in general and more specifically in the teaching and learning process. This result is also supported by the results of previous research conducted by Sedayu 2019 where competence affects the performance of SMK teachers by 0.556 or 55.6%.
