In the context of educational environments characterized by high socio-educational complexity, this study aims to identify the practices and strategies implemented by principals in elementary schools, which have an impact on improving the learning process of students. To carry out this research, a methodology based on a systematic review of the literature was used, focused on cases documented in Mexico by the International Project of Successful School Principals. The bibliographic search was conducted in various academic databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science. Nineteen documents were selected for an exhaustive review, including academic articles, conference papers, books and book chapters. The results obtained were organized into categories corresponding to transformational leadership and analyzed from a social justice perspective based on the theory of planned behavior. Among the strategies identified were the establishment of a cohesive vision in the school community, emotional support for staff, specification of shared values, and the fulfillment of established commitments.

Keywords : educational administrators; basic education; social exclusion; leadership; academic achievement.
