La realidad: la inversion en liderazgo parece limitada, 2008-2014

• Parte de otras reformas centradas en curriculum, rendicion de cuentas o autonomia.

• Resultan en un curso o programa de formación limitado en el tiempo. Ha habido avances.

No es una prioridad de política publica por si misma

• Entre agentes de otras reformas y actores de mejora escolar.

Tension en su función

• Mayor autonomia y confianza en la profesion
