School supervision and the role of higher education institutions in strengthening the New Mexican School

Abstract

The New Mexican School, as a recent initiative, places children, adolescents, and young people at the center of teaching and learning processes. The objective is to make concerted efforts to maximize learning outcomes that support each dimension of students’ academic trajectories and prove useful in their ongoing personal and professional development. This, in turn, serves as essential preparation for future life. Within this framework, this paper presents an academic reflection on the role of school supervision in Mexico in achieving this objective. The focus is on fostering reflective school supervision that promotes community-based school processes, ensuring that every actor within the educational system actively and democratically participates in decision-making. Recognizing the diverse realities that converge within the national education system is essential for enhancing decision-making processes.
