dc.description.abstractThe importance of school leadership over the last 20 years has been accompanied by the development and questioning of best management practices of school leaders. This study aims to explore leadership practices in educational centers using Kenneth Leithwood's model, according to the perceptions of principals and teachers. A descriptive and inductive approach was employed, using a questionnaire based on Leithwood's model, composed of 42 items distributed across four dimensions: setting directions, developing people, promoting organizational transformation, and managing the curriculum. The sample included 97 principals and 246 teachers from 16 educational centers in the South-West Metropolitan Region of Chile. The findings revealed that principals have a more positive view of leadership practices compared to teachers, who present more critical and varied views. Teaching experience significantly influences these perceptions. The study highlights the need to align the perceptions of both groups to improve educational practices, suggesting a collaborative approach in professional development and decision-making to strengthen leadership and management practices.en
