SLEP Licancabur administrative and leadership developments

Overview

The SLEP Licancabur Local Public Education Service in Chile is navigating administrative challenges involving personnel management and leadership development.

Following the dismissal of 15 teachers in Calama under the Professional Teacher Development System, the Colegio de Profesores de Chile has raised concerns. The union argues that the evaluations used for these terminations do not adequately account for community engagement or career trajectories. Amidst these dismissals, there is also speculation regarding a potential leadership transition, with Rodrigo Sepúlveda Tagle identified as a possible acting director.

In an effort to address management challenges, SLEP Licancabur and the Center for Leadership for the Transformation of Educational Territories (CELITED) have launched a mentorship pilot program. This initiative pairs novice school directors in Calama and San Pedro de Atacama with experienced mentors to help them navigate issues such as resource scarcity, student emotional needs, and heavy administrative workloads.
