Quantitative research method is correlation studies and covariance-based structural equation modeling approach. To collect data from team leadership questionnaires; Team learning and team performance were used. The reliability and validity of the questionnaires were evaluated by Cronbach's alpha techniques and confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability values of the questionnaires were team leadership (0.88); Team learning (0.85) and team performance (0.90) were reported. Structural equation modeling using lisrel 10.30 software was used to analyze the data.The results showed that team leadership and team learning have a positive effect on teachers' team performance at the level of 0.05; Team leadership through team learning has a positive effect on teachers' team performance at the level of 0.05; Also, team leadership and team learning are able to explain 38% of the variance of teachers' team performance.
