Schools in challenging contexts. Emerging lessons from a case study
Résumé
In the field of education, many studies point out that schools have the agency to transform their
reality. This is the case of learning communities which despite being in challenging contexts, have
been capable of coping with adversities. This study, framed within two bigger research projects
about Professional learning communities1, focuses on a school located in Spain that has shown an
inner strength to transform a prior challenging context to another that looks towards learning
quality and educational equity. In essence, the research developed adopts a single case study
format, from a reflective biographical-narrative and dialogical perspective. The thematic analysis
carried out from this case study has found a group of themes that allow us to understand how this
school is led and organised. Results are related to the capacity of resilience that this school has
developed to achieve the transformation they were looking for.
