Abstract

This research aims at investigating the process of establishing and implementing the pedagogical Policy Project (PPP) in two schools of the state of the Superintendência Regional de Ensino from Caratinga (MG), highlighting the role of the manager in coordinating this process. From the perspective of democratic management, the process of elaboration and implementation of PPP allows to organize its school pedagogical process in a participatory manner, involving all stakeholders in the educational process in the search for solutions to the problems inherent in educational management. Therefore, we seek to know, through the perception of the various actors in the school context, as the manager exercises his leadership during this process. To develop the research used two instruments of qualitative research: document analysis and semi-structured interview, articulated with a theoretical framework available on the topic. The data show that the PPP when effectively developed and implemented in the collective work as a compromise between the various actors, which ultimately impact positively in the school context; implementation allows the school to the formation of a culture of its own, providing new teachers to enter it, the perception of a work of joint and patterns of behavior desirable for the institution and finally the manager's leadership ahead of this process is of vital importance, considering the pedagogical dimension of management as well as the participation of the school community. As a result of the research, presents the Educational Action Plan in order to guide decision making regarding improvement of the preparation and implementation of PPP within the state schools SRE from Caratinga.
