A formação continuada dos gestores escolares sob a pespectiva da gestão democrática

Abstract

This research presents a study about the importance of continuing education for school administrators and the benefits that it can bring in the day to day exercise of their practice. It was also sought to obtain theoretical knowledge about school management and its relationship with practice, to conceptualize democratic management and to understand the school management historically, as well as how it was constituted in the brazilian public schools, and to reflect on the relevance of continuing education for the school manager. Since the implementation of the Federal Constitution and the Law of Guidelines and Bases of Education, a new manager profile is pointed out. Established as one of the main assignments of this manager, the implementation of democratic management allows the school community to participate and have a voice in the management of the public school. Faced with such a challenge, a continued and permanent training is given. This way, through the bibliographic study and qualitative research, based on the theoretical reference of important authors such as: Heloísa Luck, Gadotti, Libâneo, theoretical subsidies that reinforce the importance of the continuous training for the manager were reached. This study brought as example the study group "A shared listening", which occurred during the year of 2018 in the city of Canoas, bringing greater professional qualification to the practice of the directors of the Municipal Schools of Early Childhood Education. Through this study, it was concluded that the continuous and systemic training of school managers is extremely relevant to qualify the pedagogical work carried out in public schools.
