Lideranca participativa e gestão escolar

Abstract

The school witch learns not only open a space, and encourages and makes full advantage of the relationships in leadership, wherever it appears. As the "quality", the "leadership" also now has a variety of settings, all too relevant and welcome. Leaders emerge where there is openness to the initiative and change, where there are questions without answers, problems without solutions, challenges and dilemmas. It may be in the classroom or in meetings, in the office or recreation, including administrative staff or teachers, may arise at school or anywhere else or a situation where there is space and encouragement of participation. Possibly, some of them have already proved, but are not being effectively incorporated into the tasks of the school. From this fact, the aim of this study was to emphasize the importance of a participative leadership ensuring good management school. The methodology used was based on a literature search on authors such as: Leite (2000), Libâneo (2001), Gardner (1995), Dourado (1998-2001), among others. The research concluded that the role of the manager using the various mechanisms of participatory management by providing the ongoing involvement of the school community, and decentralizing the monitoring process through deliberative actions. It strives to discover the influence of leadership within the school environment, maximizing the full potential that exists in each person who participates in the school community, and direct the potential for the common good. The challenge of improving the practice as regards the management and leadership within the educational institution depends on the stance taken by the manager in leading and managing the necessary changes and to establish an understanding between the parties through the mechanisms of management and participative leadership.
