Abstract

The work presents an analysis of how is being addressed and developed environmental education in a municipal public school at the housing complex President Tancredo Neves, in Fortaleza, Ceará. The survey sought to know, in the daily life of the school, the actions directed to environmental issues and how the professionals are dealing with this subject, focusing on a specific experience developed in the classroom with students of the seventh year. Understood that through environmental education is possible the drafting of a new educational model enabling a new form of relationship with nature, generating changes in mentality and enabling the construction of a new ethics has premised life and sustainability of the planet. In this perspective, sought to verify and analyze possible transformations that take place when working with environmental education in a municipal public school, considering their structural and political conditions of management. It was noted that, as in the vast majority of schools, environmental education is in the school's Pedagogical political project, but is not actually worked as an education project involving all segments of the unit. The study indicates that structural changes in school, as well as the formation of a democratic and participatory school management, are necessary for the compilation of a Pedagogical political project in which a whole school is involved in a project of environmental Sustainability, that being the starting point for a change to be extended to the entire community and expanding for the society.
