This study sought to investigate the role of school leadership and management in supporting teachers’ preparation and use of gender-responsive teaching and learning materials in pre and primary schools in Lindi region. The study employed a convergent research design within the framework of a mixed research approach. The findings revealed that, school leadership and management plays a significant role in supporting teachers’ preparation of gender-responsive schemes of work and lesson plans; significantly supports teachers in preparing gender-responsive teaching and learning aids; and significantly supports teachers’ preparation of gender-responsive lesson notes. Based on the findings, the study recommends for an adoption of a more structured approach to integrating gender-responsive pedagogical practices in teaching and learning; making gender-responsive material preparation a mandatory component of teacher training and supervision frameworks; ensure ongoing professional development for teachers, ensure sufficient instructional resources and clear guidelines on implementing gender-responsive teaching.
