RECERCAT author Galdames Calderón, Marisol 2024-11-04T06:39:57Z 2024-11-04T06:39:57Z 2023 http://hdl.handle.net/2072/471291 Distributed leadership is based on increasing the knowledge and skills of those who play the role of leaders at schools. The objectives of this study are (a) to analyze school principals' practices aimed at creating professional development opportunities to promote teacher leadership for school improvement and (b) to relate the perceptions of teacher leaders regarding the professional development opportunities granted by principals. The methods were based on an examination of 21 interviews, including individual semi-structured interviews with school principals and group interviews with teacher leaders at six public schools in Chile, as well as a documentary analysis of institutional educational projects using thematic analysis and NVivo 12 software. The results are presented in three categories: management of principals regarding school organization, development of the professional capacities of teacher leaders, and management of principals regarding school coexistence and the participation of teacher leaders. The discussion and conclusions detailing school principals' practices show that distributed leadership helps develop teachers' leadership competencies. Furthermore, this study suggests that training amplifies the beneficial effects of distributed leadership on teachers' development. Finally, the findings imply that school principals should regularly fulfill their responsibilities and pay attention to teachers' professional development to improve their schools. open access Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
