Abstract

Abstract Chile has promoted the development of managerial/pedagogical leadership. Consequently, it has introduced support and guidance instruments such as the Marco para la Buena Dirección y el Liderazgo Escolar [Framework for Good Leadership and School Leadership] (MBDLE). Opinions of directors from public institutions in the Maule region (Chile) were analyzed within the context of personal resources in their daily practices are arranged in this guiding axis. This is a qualitative exploratory study. The results agree that most of the directors use practices that coincide with these resources, steering their attention from more conventional management issues to the dimensions proposed in the framework, observing the need to improve some components of it.
