Democratic management in the Brazilian school and political context

Abstract

In the current conjuncture of Brazilian society, reflecting the possibilities and challenges of democratic school management becomes necessary, especially when we think that each school is unique and has needs that are related to the context in which it is inserted. For this reason, having the participation of the entire school community is important, both in the constitution of the inclusion process, in the fight against evasion, and in the constitution of appropriate methodological alternatives necessary to deal with the school reality. To this end, a brief history of school management in Brazil is presented, punctuating its implications, possibilities and challenges, in order to reflect on this subject throughout history, so that it is possible to rethink and analyze, in the current context, their practices and concepts. Based on bibliographic research, the aim is to confirm the leadership of the manager and his ability to intervene and share his actions with the school community in order to guarantee quality education to the student. Thus, thinking about democratic management leads to the constitution of an environment that values ​​the community where everyone involved is a partner in the process of preparing the Pedagogical Political Project, that is, they are directly involved with the responsibility of building the school collectively.
