O gestor escolar na construção de uma escola democrática

Abstract

Through this work, some aspects that refer to the profile of the school manager as a promoter of the child of a democratic school are discussed. It is assumed that a democratic school is one in which all segments of the school community participante in the decision-making process. It is defended throughout the study that the democratic management of the school is a way to ensure the achievement of the goals contained in the Pedagogical Political Project, enabling this document not to become just a paper drawer. A specific study was carried out in this work at the José Américo de Lacerda Municipal School, located in the city of Nova Serrana/MG. Through a bibliographical survey carried out around the theme of democratic school management, some assumptions contained in the PPP of this school were critically analyzed, noting whether they point to paths for democratic management. The result obtained from the analysis showed that the school has directed its management towards democracy and participation of all segments of the community. An important fact to be highlighted is the creation of councils that represent the various segments of the community in both the administrative and pedagogical management of the school.
