Some of the managers and educators who form part of the school context of different educational institutions of the private and public network participated in the research. In the research we used the bibliographic study, elaborated from authors such as: Moreira and Candau (2007), Apple (1999), Silva (1999), Veiga (2002), and the sample from a questionnaire sent to several directors and teachers . Having thus the specific objectives: To understand the conception that managers and teachers have on school curriculum; Analyze the ways in which the community participates in curriculum design and organization; To demonstrate the development of actions on cultures of different social groups in the school curriculum. Thus, in addition to understanding what managers and educators know about school curricula, we can see the participation of the community and its manifestations in the educational context. We conclude that we still need to move forward when the subject is school curriculum and the knowledge that is proposed, this being only the beginning of a continuous debate in the school institutions, but that allowed us to understand, analyze and evidence what managers and educators know about school curriculum and how it is developed in schools. However, we understand the importance of participative democratic management, for the construction of a society that respects socioeconomic, political and cultural diversities.
