Abstract: This study investigates teacher leadership within public high schools in Santiago, Chile, focusing on three dimensions of school life: instructional, relational, and working conditions. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, including Social Network Analysis (SNA) and semi-structured interviews, the research examines the influence among teachers. Findings reveal distinct networks for each leadership dimension, with the instructional network exhibiting the highest density and reciprocal connections. Teacher leaders, identified within these networks, engage in practices that promote collaboration, support peer development, and facilitate conflict resolution. The results underscore the complexity of teacher leadership and its implications for educational improvement, advocating for a broader understanding of leadership that incorporates various aspects of school life beyond academic performance.
