Gestão escolar: práticas sobre o cotidiano de uma escola periférica de Santa Maria

Abstract

This study was based on previous research, this same institution, from reflections that were substantiated by findings experienced by the researcher in the School Our Lady of Conception, located on the outskirts of Santa Maria. The school caters to a clientele of more needy of Santa Maria, altogether are sixty-four children who attend school regularly. There are many problems faced by the school, some as lack of adequate infrastructure to receive students, lack of teachers, children who come to class without having received adequate food at home, low parental involvement in school management, directly affected the learning of children. When we commented that the democratic participative management based on the organic relationship between all those involved in school and decisions are made collectively, plus there is an interaction in the proposals, and everyone is aware of the decisions taken in the school that was the subject of study this research, it was evident that this interaction just happens, and it is still very fragile, because most parents still do not understand its true role within the school community. They almost never seek to school to learn of the problems that are faced every day, or to know in which their children are studying, leaving the responsibility to make decisions, the ways that the school must follow the hands of teachers and direction, although they know reality in which the school is inserted, just making decisions that are often not the most appropriate to the context of its residents, children.
