Abstract

Introduction: Any educational innovation process must provide opportunities for improvement in teaching and learning processes while also being accompanied by monitoring and reflection on the path taken and opportunities for growth. In this regard, this article aims to understand how innovations are developed and assessed within non-university educational institutions in the Region of Murcia. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory design was used, and data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 131 active teachers from non-university educational institutions in the Region of Murcia. Results: The findings indicate that leadership in the development of innovations is often exercised by school management teams. Conversely, the results also reveal the limited involvement and participation of families in innovation processes. Additionally, significant differences were observed regarding leadership and participation depending on the ownership of the schools. Conclusions: There is a perceived need to promote teacher training in leadership and evaluation, as well as to encourage the participation and engagement of the educational community within schools.
