The study's population numbered 18134 (eighteen thousand, one hundred and thirty-four), with 10,86 primary school heads and 17,048 teachers spread across the three senatorial districts and 25 local government areas in Delta State.

The instrument's face and content validity were determined by expert judgment. The split-half approach to reliability establishment was used to assess the instrument's dependability with the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistics, the data from each group were combined and correlated to produce a coefficient of 0.77. The Spearman-Brown Prophecy Formula was then used to step it up to 0.87, which indicated a high-reliability index. The analysis of research questions 1 and 2 were conducted using mean and standard deviation and research 3 was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient of determinations, while the inferential statistics of Pearson Product Moment correlation statistics was utilized to test the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance. The data analysis yielded the following conclusions; there was a substantial association between the indicators of school leaders' usage of collaborative management communication skills and the productivity of public primary school teachers in Delta State and the subject-matter knowledge, well-prepared lesson notes, appropriate use of teaching methods, satisfactory use of instructional learning materials, well-organized class lessons, effective use of questioning techniques, and well-presented lessons, are the areas in which Delta State's public primary school teachers excel in productivity among others. The recommendations are; school managers and administrators should consistently use the collaboration communication management skills, and participate in training and development programs on the principles and applications of collaboration management communication skills, which should be coordinated by the ministry of education and school owners among others.
