          Abstract

          Resumen: A nivel de políticas educativas, se espera que directores/as y equipos directivos sean actores que lideren la transformación escolar y consoliden los procesos de inclusión dentro de la escuela. Sin embargo, esta es una tarea compleja en un sistema de rendición de cuentas con altas consecuencias, que utiliza pruebas estandarizadas para medir la calidad de la educación y categorizar a las escuelas. El objetivo de este artículo es comprender las tensiones y limitaciones que señalan y enfrentan líderes escolares para conducir los procesos inclusivos en un sistema educativo altamente estandarizado como el chileno. En el contexto de cuatro estudios de casos se realizaron 40 entrevistas y 18 grupos focales a líderes escolares de cuatro escuelas con orientación inclusiva. Los resultados muestran que (1) el SIMCE tensiona la inclusión como proceso cultural; (2) la estandarización del curriculum nacional afecta la flexibilización de la enseñanza; (3) existen políticas inclusivas focalizadas y sujetas a rendimiento escolar, y (4) los directores/as escolares, más allá de su estilo de liderazgo, asimilan discursos y prácticas propias de un estilo gerencial. Los hallazgos instalan la narrativa de una inclusión con excelencia, vale decir, un modelo de escuela inclusiva con alta preocupación por los resultados académicos.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract: At the educational policy level, school principals and management teams are expected to lead the school transformation and consolidate processes of inclusion within the school. However, this is a complex task in a system where the quality of education is measured by standardized tests and schools are ranked. The objective of this article is to understand the tensions and limitations that school leaders face and overcome when implementing inclusion processes in a highly standardized educational system such as Chile’s. Through four case studies, 40 interviews and 18 focus groups were conducted with school leaders from four inclusive schools. The results show that (1) SIMCE stresses inclusion as a cultural process; (2) the standardization of the national curriculum affects the flexibility of teaching; (3) there are inclusive policies focused on and dependent on school performance; (4) school principals adopt discourses and practices typical of a management style beyond their leadership style. The findings support the account of an inclusion with excellence, i.e., an inclusive school model that emphasizes academic outcomes.
