    Después de años, los investigadores reconocen que el liderazgo es una habilidad importante para la educación. La perspectiva se centra en las creencias tradicionales y las desafía, llevándonos a través de diferentes cuestiones relativas a una famosa cita que tradicionalmente afirmaba que los líderes nacen y no se crean ni se forman. Posteriormente, muchos autores como James V. Down, Mac Gregor y Bernard Bass abrieron la puerta a una perspectiva que desafía los primeros conceptos del liderazgo en el aprendizaje, pero que también lo redefine. Se trata del liderazgo. Este documento presenta nuestro viaje antes y después de experimentar el liderazgo bien orientado, mostrando lo que descubrimos y adoptamos como conceptos fundamentales en relación con el liderazgo y las perspectivas.

    In foreign language teaching, it is important for prospective teachers to define their own leadership style. Often, leadership models are used without deep reflection on personal values. This personal leadership statement explains what we will be like as leaders, what qualities we will have, and what we will do in our professional practice to guide and inspire others. Therefore, the paper presents a definition of authentic leadership, describes our ideas and beliefs on the subject, and explains how we plan to empower our colleagues and students through teamwork. This paper is the final task to complete the “Lifelong Professional Development: Empowering Foreign Language Teachers” diploma course at Universidad de Córdoba. This statement is a guide to get us started, set our professional goals, and build a better learning community with each other

    Self-directed learning through new literacies: the case of a teacher of English as a foreign language
    (Universidad de Córdoba, 2024-04-01) Márquez Sánchez, Jeimmy J.; Jerez Rodríguez, Sonia María; Valle Zapata, Liliana Beatriz; Racero Diz, José María
    Educators have been using new literacies as new opportunities for professional learning and networking. Thus, this qualitative case study explores an English language teacher's self- directedness to learn and improve his teaching practice through his new literacies, as the type of literacy constructed to stay tuned with the demands of teaching English as a foreign language. Data was collected through semi structured interviews and class observations. The results shed light on the teacher's characteristics of self-directness which facilitated the inclusion of new literacies for learning. These were found to be opportunities to share content and knowledge with peers and students. The participant teacher also revealed his continuous construction of a literacy that goes beyond two independent skills: reading and writing. Instead, there is a view of literacy as a social practice that includes new literacies that include multiple text types using different semiotic languages representing meaning linguistically, visually, spatially, or otherwise to interact with different people. Furthermore, his literacy allows him to have strategies to evaluate the content he searches and has also given him different roles such as watcher, consumer or producer. The findings also suggest that Byron has become digitally literate, and this demands being “information savvy” and capable of identifying when information is needed, how to locate it, and how to use it effectively. These findings create an invitation for education systems to think differently about teachers' new literacies and the self-directed learning that happens through them. These can no longer be underestimated but rather seem as a means of professional learning in these times of change not only for the English language teaching but education in general.
