LEADERSHIP OF THE TEACHER DIRECTOR IN RURAL CONTEXTS

Abstract

This scientific essay article focuses on the Leadership of a Teacher Manager in Rural Education, covering situations, which lead to reflect on the capacity for guidance, organization and effective responses of this, not only for teaching colleagues but also for students and the community that surrounds the institution and that is directed. The teacher as a leader must know how to listen to the environment, to be able to nourish himself with the knowledge that the community possesses, to respect its culture, its beliefs and also to learn how to treat people, how to direct them or make them understand in any way how they can, from their knowledge, contribute to the educational processes. Consequently, the person directly responsible for the administration and the highest authority of the institutional operation is the teaching director; and in order to meet the goals of the institution, it requires the support of the educational community. Consequently, the objective of this is to expose the role of the teacher manager in the rural environment from the management he or she carries out in these communities. To this end, a review of writings and documents whose topic of study focuses on the role of the teacher manager in rural areas was carried out, in order to obtain inputs on the subject. Likewise, it was evident that rural education takes place with various shortcomings that deserve attention, and that directly involve the rural teacher director, since his performance is considered definitive to advance in the quality of education, and the potentiation of management skills in all rural institutions. Having clarity about the human, material and immaterial resources that surround it is of vital importance. If the leader knows how to recognize his environment, he will know more about the circumstances in which to use them.
