complex:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From a school based exclusively on content to a school focused on skills that include that content and its application in specific problem situations.<\/li>\n<li>From a pencil and paper school to a school that aspires to be technological.<\/li>\n<li>From a school fragmented into multiple subjects to a school that seeks coherence through interdisciplinarity.<\/li>\n<li>From an individualistic school to a cooperative school.<\/li>\n<li>From a school closed in on itself to a school open to the environment.<\/li>\n<li>From a school focused on the teacher as a transmitter of information to a school that treats the student as an agent of construction of their own knowledge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Answers through innovation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Faced with this reality, the commitment of education (and especially of the public network) is to offer the most appropriate response to the challenges posed by a dynamic society;\u00a0that is, compared to other ways of responding to change (denial, rejection, repetition, transfer, etc.), the education system is an ecosystem of innovation.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, it does not innovate\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/en-educacion-no-es-innovacion-todo-lo-que-reluce-172075\">by simply assuming novelties<\/a>\u00a0, but by analyzing the problems that are right in front of it and putting available resources into play.\u00a0It is possible to learn from other people&#8217;s experiences and try to transfer proven solutions in other environments, but, ultimately, the situation in which the innovation develops generates the conditions that radically determine the chances of success.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Academic optimis<\/strong>m<\/h4>\n<p>To address the complexity of any

to an organizational culture that promotes innovation effectively (that is, reaching the goals that are proposed).\u00a0Its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/13803611.2013.860037\">validity and effect<\/a>\u00a0have been\u00a0<a

centers.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Efficiency and confidence<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This \u201coptimism\u201d is made up of three elements: the collective effectiveness of the faculty, the academic emphasis of the institution, and trust.\u00a0Together, these three elements promote innovation and the scope of the achievements proposed by the center in an effective way.<\/p>\n<p>Academic emphasis \u2013 sometimes also referred to as \u201cacademic pressure\u201d \u2013 reflects a school&#8217;s insistence on academic excellence and the expectation that all students can achieve it.\u00a0Both teachers and the management team believe in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/ninos-motivados-ninos-creativos-como-fomentar-la-innovacion-en-el-aula-181671\">ability of all students<\/a>\u00a0to learn and achieve satisfactory results.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, they set high but achievable learning goals, continue to offer support to struggling students and remove barriers to

href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/249680761_High_School_Accountability_The_Role_of_Perceived_Collective_Efficacy\">efficacy<\/a>\u00a0is defined as the collective assessment of the teaching staff of an educational center about their joint capacity to address educational challenges and objectives and to contribute positively to the well-being and learning of all students.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers collaborate to improve their teaching, make decisions and work together, define challenging tasks and commit to teaching, especially in the face of difficulties and problematic situations.\u00a0Academic emphasis has a more powerful effect when collective efficacy is strong, that is, academic emphasis works through collective efficacy.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Perception and self-perception<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Finally,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/235295498_A_Conceptual_and_Empirical_Analysis_of_Trust_in_Schools\">trust<\/a>\u00a0is linked to the perception of benevolence, honesty, competence, reliability and openness to innovation and change of the members of the educational community.<\/p>\n<p>Trust exists in the relationship with the management team and between colleagues, and in the relationship established with students and families.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Enabling structure<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These three factors interact with another fundamental element: an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1108\/JEA-02-2015-0018\">enabling school structure<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0This occurs when the power structure, the rules and regulations, the politics of the institution and the daily procedures\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/00131610121969334\">favor the trust of the teaching staff<\/a>\u00a0and, therefore, increase the academic optimism of the educational center.<\/p>\n<p>Academic optimism shapes, in turn, school norms and the actions that take place.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the existence of an enabling school structure precedes the effective development of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/files.eric.ed.gov\/fulltext\/EJ1313069.pdf\">a professional learning community<\/a>\u00a0, and school leadership can help generate this type of structure through reflective dialogue, collaborative professional practice, collective focus on learning, and the creation of shared values \u200b\u200band norms.<\/p>\n<h4>How to get it?<\/h4>\n<p>The strong situational nature of education requires that the improvement of the values \u200b\u200bof academic optimism and the interventions linked to each of the factors mentioned be adjusted to the reality of the center and its educational community.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/016146811812001103?journalCode=tcza\">an act of co-creation<\/a>\u00a0, focused on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/traficantes.net\/libros\/itinerarios-comunes\">small-scale changes<\/a>\u00a0, made by educators with their classroom and school in mind.\u00a0We must understand innovation as the construction of local knowledge that allows a &#8220;shared ownership&#8221; of innovation and improvement.<\/p>\n<p>In education we need (academic) optimism and an enabling environment to undertake the changes that allow the school to rise to the occasion.\u00a0However, optimism is not just a state of mind, nor is the environment an unalterable circumstance: we need to build (through investment, decision-making and correct actions) a high level of academic optimism and create an enabling environment.<br \/>\n<em>\u201cPeople are motivated by good ideas linked to action;\u00a0they are further stimulated by doing the action with other people;\u00a0they are further driven by learning from their mistakes;\u00a0and lastly, they are propelled by actions that have an impact, what we call a
