La selección de directores de centros educativos tras la LOMCE

Abstract

With the approval of LOMCE, principals of the public centers are selected by a commission in which community agents and staff of the Educational Administration participate. In this paper we have made a revision of the Spanish legislation that has been approved in the different autonomous communities on the selection of directors after 2014, raising the differences in five major areas of interest: (1) conditions of participation in the procedures, (2) composition of the selection commissions, (3) phases in the selection procedure, (4) merits considered to exercise management and (5) Management Project. From the revision of the different norms, we extract the key ideas that can help in the definition of objective and relevant selection criteria. This allows us to establish a series of general conclusions that can be useful to legislators, inspectors, head teachers and interested staff in school management.
