Educational leadership has become a key factor in the improvement of educational quality. The aim of the work was to describe the adaptation of the Pedagogical Leadership Scale VAL-ED (Vanderbilt Assessment of Leadership in Education) to the Spanish population (cross-cultural adaptation process and validation) and obtain their psychometric characteristics through Rasch analysis. The obtained results confirm that the unidimensionality of each of the six subscales that compose it has been demonstrated, it is guaranteed its usefulness to diagnose the educational leadership, to decide ways of improvement and to measure the effectiveness of its implementation. The conclusion is that the adaptation of the VAL-ED questionnaire to the Spanish population is a valid and reliable tool for the measurement of educational leadership.
