Research Projects Communities of professional practice and improvement of learning: Intermediate leadership, networks and interrelations. Schools in complex contexts (project number PID2020-117020GB-I00 and project number P20_00311). We have a system that is unable to keep students excited about their own learning and educational performance. In light of this situation it is the responsibility of educators to make a broad and global reflection on what must be changed and how this change may be managed. We believe that change is possible and there is no objective more necessary for society than investing in its future project. This paper proposes an exhaustive analysis of the current situation of the secondary school teachers and from there on justifies the change through the teaching practice based on innovation and with a better training in pedagogical and didactical issues. 2024-11-04T08:12:19Z 2024-11-04T08:12:19Z 2022 journal article Published version: Latorre, M.
