Abstract

Educational innovation is constantly mentioned in the stories of the actors of the Chilean school system, however, it is no more than a set of specific experiences with little sustainability. The foregoing occurs for strictly structural reasons and also due to the null explicitness of this concept in key references of the system, such as standards, management tools, performance frameworks, among others. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, educational communities have made various efforts to give continuity to educational processes, within which various innovative strategies have also been made visible. This essay focuses on the learning, opportunities and challenges of educational innovation in Chilean schools, based on the description of some relevant milestones of the last decades and, mainly, on what has been the response to the current health crisis.

Keywords:

Educational innovation, school system, institutional educational project, school improvement plan, pandemic, COVID-19
