Based on this objective, the following specific objectives were defined: a) analyze managerial actions and educational practices developed in the two schools that compose the research outline; b) understand the relations between school management and educational leadership, focusing on quality education; and c) propose strategies for pedagogical training improvement and accompaniment carried out by SRE’s pedagogical team with principals and basic education specialists (EEB). For this dissertation was used the case study methodology, through a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews conducted with principals and specialists from both schools. In addition to these instruments, a bibliographic research was also conducted that sought to understand the authors views such as Lück (2007 and 2009), Soares (2009 and 2013), Ferreira (2016 and 2017), Horta Neto (2010), Paro (2007 and 2010), Alarcão (2001), and others present in this research literature review. The results revealed good educational practices developed in both schools, regarding educational leadership and school management dimensions, which reflect the performance obtained by the two school units in IDEB. From the analysis and discussion of obtained results in research, an Educational Action Plan (PAE) was prepared as an intervention proposal, drawing on continuing education and monitoring, which are two important aspects of work developed by SRE's educational analysts, and socialization of good practice among schools.
