ROBERTO, Alex Moreira. Pedagogical leadership of school managers and teacher's professional development: a systematic review. Educ. Form. [online]. 2023, vol.8, e10818.  Epub Feb 23, 2023. ISSN 2448-3583.  https://doi.org/10.25053/redufor.v8.e10818.

This study deals with the importance of the role of school managers as leaders of the work carried out in the school, as well as pedagogical leadership as the process of influence in order to improve teaching and learning. To identify managers’ contributions and challenges facing professional teacher development, a systematic review was carried out using articles published between 2010 and 2019. Twenty-six studies from 20 different countries were analyzed in journals indexed in Web of Science and Scielo, and the findings were categorized into five themes: system, place, pedagogy, people and personnel. The content analysis highlights from these studies are the influence of public policies; the need for a better balance between administrative and pedagogical demands; the gaps linked to the managers’ training; classroom observation as the most widespread strategy; and the importance of trust in the teaching professional development process.
