The main issue that is discussed today in schools, in educational institutions, by researchers and education experts, is the quality in education. In addition to numerous discussions on issues of educational quality, in addition to defining quality standards and criteria and in addition to establishing criteria to measure quality, the role of the director in evaluation and performance is also discussed. The research aims to document the principal's communication with teachers, in order to increase the quality of teaching for a good school. It also highlights the different communication styles that primary school leaders currently use and the relationships that prevail with their staff. For this research, the quantitative and qualitative approach was used, while the chosen model is descriptive. The quantitative and qualitative data collected from this research describe the principals' communication styles with their staff. Participants were 7 school principals74 teachers who were selected via purposive method from the school the research was conducted with. The results have proven that communication makes the connection between individual behavior, organizational structure and leadership. Changes in communication can be the result of educational reform, they can also be a stimulus for changes in the school and model of cooperation. Effective communication is at the center of almost every aspect of school and teacher activity because it connects the school with all important factors such as teachers, parents, the surrounding community, etc. If efficiency, quality or innovation needs to be improved, high communication skills are needed for this.
