To this end, we examined a series of variables that may be included in a committed and transforming leadership model that encourages a positive climate of coexistence. A survey type methodology was followed. The sample included 46 secondary schools in Andalusia integrated in the network «School: Space for Peace», taking 46 teachers and 46 families as interviewees. The main conclusion reached with the model proposed in this research shows that a leadership committed to a culture of peace exerts a degree of influence over the management of school coexistence and the promotion of preventive measures.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/School coexistenceLeadershipManagement of coexistenceCulture of peaceIssue of coexistenceContrary behaviourjournal article10.1016/j.sbspro.2017.02.059open access
