The following question had been delimited: In spite of an adversity context, can these innovative practices, developed in these two schools, be considered examples of entrepreneurship applied to school management, followed by it results? To answer this question, it is necessary to report the context and the structure of SEEDUC/RJ, the Education Secretary of the State of Rio de Janeiro, as well as to present and describe the schools, in their particularities, pointing their results along 2011 to 2013. The research consists of a qualitative case study, applying semi-structured interview and observation as data collecting method. Bibliographic research and document analysis were also used. The field research data was examined in the light of concepts and discussions brought by Filion (1999a, 1999b and 2000), Lück (2000, 2010 and 2013), McClelland (1961) Mintzberg (2010), Oliveira (2011) and Souza Neto (2008). Through this analysis, it was possible to notice enterprising characteristics present in practices and actions of both managers. Therefore, an Educational Action Plan, was proposed oriented towards the composition of Permanent Forum of Managers, having as its mediators the managers whose profiles were similar to the research subjects, so that the innovative practices could be spread, as well as the entrepreneurship could be fomented through school managers, establishing, thus, a continuous learning, a management improvement, building, in this way, a networking learning.
