Three publications by Claudia Romero address, from different perspectives, the processes of leadership, management and change in educational institutions.
Professor Claudia Romero presents three publications focusing on school improvement, educational leadership, and the processes of transformation affecting educational institutions and policies. The books bring together contributions from research and educational practice and provide tools for understanding and supporting school improvement processes.
Educational Leadership. To Improve Schools
In this work, Claudia Romero analyses the new challenges facing schools in the context of 21st-century society and highlights the need to develop educational leadership capable of inspiring, guiding and supporting improvement processes.
The book emphasises the importance of school leadership, middle leadership and the leadership exercised by teachers themselves in building educational communities committed to improvement. From this perspective, school improvement cannot simply be mandated; it is built through innovative and collaborative leadership focused on learning and grounded in evidence.
The publication combines international evidence with the findings of ten studies conducted in Argentina on the practices and conditions that foster educational leadership aimed at quality and equity in education, as well as at building democratic institutions in which everyone can learn.
The Backstage of Education. Educational Policies on Stage
This book offers a perspective on educational change by examining the processes behind the design, implementation and evaluation of educational policies.
Through a plural dialogue involving different academic and political perspectives, the book addresses issues such as the difficulties involved in promoting reform processes, the role of organisational cultures, the influence of technology on transformation processes, and the need to build sustainable long-term agreements.
The different contributions invite readers to reflect on the conditions that make change possible and on the factors involved in building an education system capable of responding to the challenges of the 21st century.
Making a School a Good School
In Hacer de una escuela una buena escuela, Claudia Romero addresses school improvement and management processes and raises questions about what characterises a good school, how management can contribute to improvement, and what capacities and tools are needed to promote institutional transformation.
The book draws on relevant research and experiences in the field of school improvement, together with tools designed to foster institutional reflection and practice. It is aimed particularly at principals, supervisors and teachers, as well as specialists who support change processes and those responsible for designing and implementing educational policies focused on improvement.
Taken together, the three publications contribute, from different perspectives, to advancing knowledge of leadership, management and improvement processes in educational institutions, issues closely connected to the research lines of CRiEDO.
Claudia Romero is a researcher and specialist in educational leadership and improvement, with extensive experience in the study of school organisations and educational policies.
