CANCINO, Víctor Cancino  and  MONRROY, Leonardo Vera. Education policies to strengthen directive leadership: challenges for Chile in a comparative analysis with OECD countries. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.94, pp.26-58. ISSN 0104-4036.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0104-40362017000100002.

In the last decade, for many countries the educational leadership and management have become a priority for public policy. Several factors explain the importance assigned to this function, highlighting: higher expectations of families; demands for accountability of educational outcomes; new trends in the provision of services; and evidence of research on the influence of the quality of processes’ management and leadership on school effectiveness. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) highlights the importance of educational leadership, analyzing their current status and trends in member countries, and identifying key factors for its development. The article compares the policies most recently applied in Chile in this area, contrasting experiences of OECD countries. From there, proposals for a sustainable public policy design in the aforementioned framework are suggested.

Keywords : School management; Educational leadership; School management policies.
