As a general objective: to elaborate an (In) formative guide for professionals of the Secretariat of Education of Santa Maria, considering processes of information and management of municipal education. Similar to what happens with educational professional in schools, it is expected that those who are involved in the management of the Secretariat of Education may have moments of study, improvement and training in their respective areas of expertise.

A total of 88 questionnaires were forwarded but only 35 were answered. Thus, it is concluded that the professionals working at MSEd believe that these moments of formation and qualification of the work process are necessary as well as some of them are not aware of the demands of the other sectors even if all the processes are somehow connected. After the analysis possibilitated by the interpretation of the questionnaires it was elaborated an (In) formative Guide , which in a first moment was sent as a digital material to MSEd, through the e-mails of the Advisory and the Superintendence. In this Guide initially it was exposed how the MSEd is divided and which are the demands that each sector should take as responsibility in order to possibilitate that the roles and processes of each sector may be visible. It is also expected that based on this guide , specific trainings for the different sectors may be planned , as a way of qualification of the processes and also a possible standardization that regardless of the change of the government it may be continued.
