Perspectivas da formação de gestores escolares na modalidade a distância e potencialidades para o trabalho pedagógico escolar

Abstract

This article aims to problematize the importance of continuing education for school administrators of basic education as an element for improving the quality of Brazilian public education. It also advocates the extension of distance education (EAD) as an opportunity to amplify the training of school administrators to meet the growing demands of public education. This work is based on theoretical discussions that substantiate the analyzes developed. In general, the analysis results in the understanding that the current preparation of managers is not enough to overcome aspects that have an impact on pedagogical and educational results - management style and leadership, personal issues, lived experiences, physical and material resources - and policies that have provided initial and continuing training courses for school managers.
