| Abstract: | Rural educational networks help address teacher isolation. Leadership within the network directly impacts its outcomes, making it essential to have leaders who facilitate the mobilization of valuable knowledge. This paper aims to analyze leadership in a well-functioning educational network of rural schools, using a mixed-methods approach with a sequential and complementary design. Network participants value the opportunities to share experiences with schools facing similar realities. The technical-pedagogical advisor's support has been key in alleviating teachers' isolation through various strategies, including social capital enhancement, problem-solving assistance, and practical rural teaching knowledge. However, his central role poses a risk to the network's sustainability. Strengthening the capacities of other educational agents within the network is crucial for increasing their autonomy. |
