that unifies the efforts of the educational community.
• Professional Capacity Development. Centred on promoting profes-
sional learning and strengthening pedagogical leadership.
• Leadershipin TeachingandLearning. Related to teacher support and
the continuous improvement of pedagogical processes.
• Management of School Climate and Participation. Aimed at promot-
ing a positive, inclusive, and participatory school environment.
