INTRODUCTION
According t o dat a from t he Nat ional Associat ion of Cerdas Ist imew a dan
Baka t Ist imew a, 2% of school-age populat ion, w ere children w ho have special
t alent or gift ed children. If it refers t o t he BPS 2005, t here w ere 65,291,624
are 1,305,832 childre n in Indonesia have Cerdas Ist imew a dan Bakat Ist imew a.
While t he figure is relat ively sm all, but service t o t hem is not sufficient . The only
form of educat ion service s for children Cerdas Ist imew a dan Bakat Ist imew a is in
t he form of accelerat ion. Based on dat a from Cerdas Ist imew a Dan Bakat
ist imew a Associat ion of 2008/ 9, t he number of Cerdas Ist imew a dan Bakat
Ist imew a st udent s w ho have served in accelerat ed schools w ere st ill very small,
t hose w ere 9,551 people or 0.73% of Cerdas Ist imew a Dan Bakat Ist imew a
st udent s underserved.
In t erms of inst it ut ions, from 260 471 schools, 311 new schools have child
care programs for Cerdas Ist imew a dan Bakat Ist imew a. This m eans t hat t here is
a lit t le school t hat provide educat ional services t o st udent s Cerdas Ist imew a dan
Bakat Ist imew a, as w ell as t he limit at ions of t he various services. M ost of t hese
children are " forced" t o follow t he same educat ion w it h normal children, so they
have a st at e of " underachiever" .
Act o f Nat ional Educat ion Syst em no. 20 of 2003, Art icle 5, paragraph 4
st at ed t hat " Cit izens w ho have t he pot ent ial of int elligence and special t alent s
are ent it led t o special educat ion" . The need for special at t ent ion t o t he cerdas
ist imew a dan bakat ist imew a children is an effort t o develop t he full and opt imal
pot ent ial of learners (Sulipan, 2010: 2).
Int elligent and gift ed children have unique personalit ies. Generally, t hey
have a st rong preference for t he various areas of int erest , are very int erest ed in
t he moral and et hical issues, very aut onomous in making decisions and
det ermining act ions (Anonymous, 2011: 1). A number of t his unique
charact erist ics if not properly underst ood according by t eachers and parent s, it
w ill creat e t he percept ion as if t he gift ed children are st ubborn individuals,
unw illing t o compromise even t here is an ext reme w ho considers t he gift ed
children has a low -rat e behavior.
One corridor of educat ional services for st udent s w ho have except ional
learning). Providing special programs in an effort t o t reat gift ed children is
according by t he convening of an accelerat ed program as a service t o individual
differences in st udent s.
In each organizat ion, t he posit ion and role of a leader has alw ays been
cent ral (M edizine, 2011: 2). Advance and ret reat organizat ion depends on t he
ext ent t o w hich leaders are able t o advance t he. Similarly, in t he cont ext of t he
school as an organizat ion, t hen t he principal is also very import ant in advancing
t he inst it ut ion he leads. When t he qualit y of educat ion of a school w ill be
im proved, t hen t he key is in t he st rong leadership.
The principal as responsible individual in t he school has an obligation to
t ry t o make all t he pot ent ial t hat exist s in t he inst it ut ion may be best ut ilized t o
achieve t he expect ed goals. Therefore, t he principal leadership becomes one
import ant fact or t hat can encourage school resources t o realize t he vision,
m ission, goals, and object ives of t he school.
The principal is t he key success in empow ering t he communit y and t he
school environment . Therefore, as t he leader, t he principal is expect ed t o be able
t o build, m anage and develop t he resources t hat exist in schools (Jacub, 2011: 8).
To assist principals in organizing t he school properly, it needs an essence
of t heoret ical ideas, such as t he classic concept ion of organizat ional st ruct ure,
hierarchy, aut horit y and mechanisms for achieving coordinat ion in t he school
environment (Wahjosumidjo, 2007: 4- 5).
Principal's leadership w ill be very influent ial even crucial t o t he progress
of t he accelerat ed program. Therefore, in t he modern educat ion, t he principal
leadership is t he st rat egic posit ion in achieving t he goals of educat ion. School
success is t he success of t he principal, and t he success of principal is t he success
of school (Wahjosumidjo, 2008: 349). Because t he school’s failure and success is
largely det ermined according by t he principal as t he cont roller and det ermin er of
a school is essent ially locat ed on t he efficient and effect iveness of t he principal
appearances.
SM A Negeri 1 Purw orejo t hat w as founded in 1955, is one of t he best
sch ools in Purw orejo. It is on Jl. Tent ara Pelajar No. 16, Pangenjuru Tengah
village and occupies a land area of 20,000 m2. This school has implement ed an
accelerat ed program since 2006, i.e. since t he government launched an
accelerat ed program. In it s implement at ion, t he program did not run properly. It
appeared from t he new st udent s t hat did not meet t he crit eria or rules set
according by t he government , IQ t est less t han 130 w as accept able in
accelerat ed classes. This w as done t o m eet t he quot a of st udents in accelerat ed
classes.
There are som e previous st udies relat ed t o the Principal’s Leadership in
Accelerat ed Program . The first is t he research conduct ed according by Guajardo
(2004 : 35),
The result s st at ed t hat t he accelerat ion is one of school adm inistered programs t o improve st udent learning out comes and academic. Accelerat ed program is a shift in t hinking t hat allow s flexibilit y in scheduling, social -emot ional climat e, curriculum and inst ruct ional design. One of t he principal roles in t he accelerat e d program is realized in t he form of an increase in t he qualit y of t eachers, creat ing a favorable climat e, and management of t he curriculum for t he accelerat ed program.
The second is t he research invest igat ed according by Bloom (2003: 56

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THEORY
Principal’s Leadership in Human Resource M anagement of The Accelerated Program at SM A Negeri 1 Purw orejo
As a service model, t he accelerat ion can be int erpret ed as a learning
service model according by accelerat ing t he class, for example, for st udent s w ho
M eanw hile, t he curriculum model, accelerat ion means t o accelerat e t he
inst ruct ional mat erials that should be m ast ered according by st udent s at t hat
t im e so t hat st udent s can graduat e as early. This can be done according by
analyzing t he subject m at t er w it h t he essent ial and less essent ial m at erials.
According t o Sutart inah Tirt onegoro, accelerat ion is t he w ay of handling
supernorm al children according by allow ing t hem t o move t o t he next grade
according by finishing t he RSBI program in a short er period of t ime. The same
t hing w as also said according by Ulya Lat ifah Lubis (cit ed according by Haw adi)
w hich defines t he t erm of accelerat ion as a service program given t o st udent s
w it h t he high t alent ed level in order t o com plet e t heir st udies m ore quickly t han
ot her st udent s (RSBI program).
This program generally m eet s t he needs of st udent s w ho have specific
charact erist ics in aspect s of cognit ive and affect ive development . In part icular, it
provides services t o gift ed st udent s t o be able t o complet e t heir educat ion more
quickly t han usual. St udent s have t he opport unit y t o earn t he learning mat erial
in a sh ort er t ime and efficient ly.
Research conduct ed according by Sidhu (2009: 22)
The result of t his st udy confirms t hat t he good principal is able t o creat e a sust ainable school climat e t hat w ill increase st udent achievement and t eacher product ivit y. Therefore t hey are not only Chief Execut ive Officer (CEO) but also inst ruct ional leaders and mot ivat ors for t heir t eam. In exploring t he charact erist ics of good leadership from t he principal in M alaysia, t he findings suggest t hat t he principal's leadership use a variet y of educat ional st rat egies and sit uat ional leadership st yle.
From t he result of t he previous st udy, it show s some similarit ies w it h t he st udy at
SM A Negeri 1 Purw orejo in t erm of t he sit uat ional principal leardership st yle.
This w as proved according by t he brilliant ideas from t he principal of SM A Negeri
1 Purw orejo in giving facilit ies for gift ed st udent s in Purw orejo according by
opening an accelerat ed program. This program is int ended t o make t he gift ed
st udent s be able t o develop t heir t alent opt i mally in a fast er t ime t han ot her
As t he realit y in Purw orejo, t here are st udent s w ho have more t alent and
abilit y of t he various areas t han ot hers, but t here is no formal service t hat
facilit at ies it . This m akes st uden t s feel t hat t heir t alent and ideals are not
channeled properly. Therefore, it raises t he init iat ive of t he principal of SM A
Negeri 1 Purw orejo t o provide services for st udent s w ho have a special t alent as
one of t he school services in educat ion t o t he communit y. If t he formal
educat ion inst it ut ions do not give services t o t he gift ed st udent s, t heir t alent s
w ould be lost and t here is no significant developm ent for Purw orejo. Because of
t his condit ion, t he principal of SM A Negeri 1 Purw orejo w ant ed t o find a solut ion
for t hese problems t o be immediat ely responded w ell w it h conduct ing an
accelerat ed program in SM A Negeri 1 Purw orejo.
The program is very good, t herefore it s im plem ent at ion got so m uch
support from various part ies w het her from t he t eachers of SM A Negeri 1
Purw orejo, school board and parent s. Similarly, st udent s w ho have special
t alent s also gave much support t o it . This w as also because t he number of t hose
w ho w ere beneficiaries of t his program , especially st udent s w ho have m ore
achievement s.
The principal needed t he administ rat or of accelerat ion program t hat is
separat ed from t he im plem ent at ion of RSBI program in order t o m ake it runs
opt imally. This w as because of some differences bet w een t he RSBI program and
accelerat ion. Those differences are a) different learning syst ems, b). different
educat ional calendars, c) so t hat t he implement at ion of t he final t est is also
diferent .
Principal select ed t eachers w it h observat ion and assessment from
himself, chairman of t he program and also w it h t he suggest ion from st udent s
t hat indirect ly becomes t he considerat ion for select ing a compet ent t eachers.
Suggest ion from st udent s t hat is t aken indirect ly means t hat t o t alk t o t hem
about t he mat erial and t he t eacher w ho t eaches it , t herefore t hey do not feel
In addit ion t o t he select ion of t eaching st aff, t he principal also select ed
t he candidat e of st udent s. Principal accept ed st udent s w ho have passed t he
select ion for an accelerat ed program t hat has been det ermined such as t he
academic and pot ent ial academic t est s. The select ion w as int ended for t he
accelerat ed program t o be follow ed according by st udent s w ho really have t he
t alent and high learning achievem ent .
The goal w as, for learning t hat goes equally w it hout any st udent w ho
fails. This select ion t est w as done st rict ly so can act ually select st udent s w it h
high abilit y. It included t he academic and pot ent ial academic t est s. St udent s
should really prepare it as t he admission t est for RSBI program. In ad dition to
t hese academic t est s, t he skill t est is also measured according by t he Scholast ic
Talent Test (TBS). Aft er t he st udent s w ere accept ed, t he administ rat or of
accelerat ion program called t he parent s and st udent s in order t o provide
clarificat ion and guidance on t he implement at ion of learning programs in
accelerat ed classes so t hat t hey could underst and and support it .
To improve t he qualit y of st udent s, t he principal applied an effect ive
learning syst em, such as: using t he t ime as effect ively as possible in learning,
set t ing off t he school holidays, increasing t he facilit ies of t ext books required
according by accelerat ed program, and t he available of t eachers w ho are alw ays
ready t o guide st udent s w ho have difficult y in learning. It w as assumed t hat an
effect ive and efficient learning st rongly support s t he enhancement of st udent s
achievement , bot h effect ive in t he use of inst ruct ional met hods and effect ive use
of t he t im e available.
The principal invit es a psychologist every t hree m ont hs t o m onit or and
provide input t o t he school about st udent s' progress. The psychologist is
present ed t o help st udent s solve problems according by providing solut ions of
t hose problems so t hat t heir achievement and mot ivat ion can be maint ained and
Principal’s Leadership in M otivating Students of The Accelerated Program in SM A Negeri 1 Purw orejo
Research conduct ed according by Guajardo (2004),
The result s st at ed t hat t he accelerat ion is one of school administ rate d program s t o im prove st udent learning out com es and academic. Accelerat ed program is a shift in t hinking t hat allow s flexibilit y in scheduling, social -emot ional climat e, curriculum and inst ruct ional design. One of t he principal roles in t he accelerat ed program is realized in t he form of an increase in t he qualit y of t eachers, creat ing a favorable climat e, and management of t he curriculum for t he accelerat ed program.
Learning mot ivat ion is t he pow er cent er for st udent s t o follow t he
learning process. M any fact ors influence st udent mot ivat ion, bot h int ernal and
ext ernal fact ors. Ideally all t eachers st rive t o provide various facilit ies t o t he
st udent s t o keep have high mot ivat ion t o learn. This is t he principles in t he
learning process so t hat w it h t he maint enance of st udent mot ivat ion, t hey are
expect ed t o acquire a high academic achievement .
In t he learning process, st udent s are not alw ays in a st able condit ion. This
is because of t he int ernal fact ors and ext ernal fact ors t hat make t hem have low
mot ivat ion. In t his case, t he principal occasionally asked for help from t he
out side according by invit ing a psychologist in order t o mot ivat e st udent s and
help solve t heir problems. M oreover t he principal also conduct ed t raining
direct ly int o t he classroom t hat have been scheduled every w eek or at w eekend.
In addit ion t o t he coaching, t o enhance st udent s' mot ivat ion, t he
Principal provided facilit ies required according by accelerat ed st udent s such as:
st udent t ext books, comput ers in t he classroom, comfort able classrooms and
appropriat e elect ronic learning media. Principal provided inst ruct ional books and
reference books t hat support t he learning and self-developm ent . Those books
are usually allocat ed at t he beginning of school year.
Principal provided consequences for st udent s w hose performance is less,
t hen t hey w ould move t he program from t he accelerat ed class t o RSBI. These
maint ain t heir performance and remain in accelerat ed classes. Principal assumed
t hat mot ivat ion is very import ant for st ude nt s’ performance improvement .
Giving a rew ard is good for m ot ivat ing st udent s w ho excel, and vice versa, t he
sanct ions also have a quit e influent ial cont ribut ion for st udent mot ivat ion. This
means t hat if st udent s’ achievement decreases, t hey w ill be moved t o RSBI class,
w hile t he classes of t he accelerat ed program are much more excellent t han RSBI
classes. Then it w ill feel loss if t he st udent should be moved t o a class t hat is
below . Therefore, sanct ions as a consequence of low er achievement for st udent s
w ill be a m ot ivat ion for st udent s t o increase m ot ivat ion and learning out com es.
Principal’s Leadership in The Facility and Infrastructure M anagement of The Accelerated Program in SM A Negeri 1 Purw orejo
Research conduct ed according by Lunenburg (2010:57),
This st udy review s t he import ance of school facilit ies and infrast ruct ure m anagem ent t hat is done according by t he adm inist rat or. In t his st udy know n t hat a key responsibilit y of school administ rat ors is facilit ies management . School buildings across t he nat ion are aging and becoming a barrier t o opt imal learning and t eaching. This result s in escalat ing school infrast ruct ure cost s. A case can be made t o renovat e or build new facilit ies t hat maximize an effect ive learning environment . This w ill involve allocat ion of funds for building renovat ion or new const ruct ion. In t his art icle I discuss t hese t w o issues: school infrast ruct ure cost s and financing new const ruct ion.
Principal t ried t o complet e ly of the l facilit ies in accelerat ed program such
as procurement of LCD, air condit ioning, overhead project or (OHP) and
comput er, so it has a lit t le different w it h RSBI class. Those facilit ies w ere
considered very import ant for learning run w ell. Wit h a variet y of elect ronic
media as mult imedia such as LCD and OHP media made t he learning more
effect ive and efficient . Teachers w ere easier t o deliver learning mat erials, as w ell
as st udent s w ere easier t o underst and t he subject m at t er.
Principal also t ried t o comple te t he facilit ies w it h t he class library, and

learning accelerat ion program room. St udent s also felt safe because of t he locker
provided in t he cl assroom, and t heir desks w ere also not t oo full of a variet y of
goods ot her t han learning t ools. St udent s w ere more comfort able in accelerat ed
class because because t he seat w as so arranged. St udent s sat one according by
one, and t his accelerat ed class con sist ed of a maximum of 20 st udent s. So t hat
st udent s could learn m ore conducive, effect ive and efficient .
Principal conduct ed supervision and monit oring t he ut ilizat ion and
m aint enance of accelerat ed program facilit ies and infrast ruct ure as a form of
primary responsibilit y. For all infrast ruct ure and facilit y equipment s can be used
