In recent decades, school leadership has become central in research, studies and reports of different national and international organizations, in recent reforms of educational systems and in small-scale transformation processes. The specialized bibliography on school leadership and school principals is abundant and varied. The terms school leadership, leadership, school management, pedagogical leadership and management are often used interchangeably and in some cases as synonyms. The purpose of this paper is to make explicit and distinguish the conceptions and logics that underlie each of the terms, following different theoretical productions. The starting point is the characterization of the typology constructed by Antonio Viñao Frago (2001). The author defines school management as a hybrid model, the result of the juxtaposition of four models that have accumulated historically. This article is the result of a doctoral research, the objective of which was to analyze school management in the day-to-day life of educational institutions. A qualitative case study (Stake, 2010) with an ethnographic approach, focused on the daily expression of the managerial function, was chosen as a research strategy (Stake, 2010).
