Abstract (English): Supporting school leaders has become a responsibility of middle-tier actors committed to promoting educational quality and equity for all students. However, knowledge of this topic remains limited. This article presents an exploratory study with a qualitative interpretative approach, aimed at identifying the meanings and practices associated with the technical support provided by middle-tier professionals and school leadership teams in the Local Public Education Services (SLEP), a new local authority established as part of an ongoing, far-reaching reform in Chile. The findings show that the support provided by the SLEP is constructed in ways that differ from other forms of assistance within the Chilean school system. It is characterized by meanings and practices that foster sustained interaction, comprehensive support, and system alignment. The article discusses the approach to support, considering its normative nature and integration with the local authority, as well as the professionalization of technical support work with school leaders.

Abstract (Spanish): El apoyo a los líderes escolares se ha convertido en una responsabilidad para los niveles intermedios comprometidos con la promoción de la calidad y la equidad educativa de las y los estudiantes. Sin embargo, el conocimiento en torno a este tema aún es limitado. Este artículo presenta un estudio exploratorio de enfoque cualitativo interpretativo, cuyo objetivo es identificar los significados y las prácticas asociadas al apoyo técnico desarrollado entre profesionales de nivel intermedio y equipos directivos de establecimientos de Servicios Locales de Educación Pública (SLEP), una nueva autoridad local en el marco de una profunda reforma chilena en curso. Los resultados indican que el apoyo de los SLEP se construye de manera distintiva en comparación con otros tipos de asistencia presentes en el sistema escolar chileno, destacándose por significados y prácticas que fomentan la interacción constante, el apoyo integral y la conexión con el sistema. Se discute el enfoque del apoyo, considerando su carácter normativo e integrado a la autoridad local, así como la profesionalización del trabajo de apoyo técnico a los líderes directivos.
