In this dissertation, the object of study focuses on the class Council aiming to evaluate analytically its functioning, its structure and conditions of service laid down in the regulatory objectives of the Educational System of the State of Minas Gerais. For both sought to know the origins, relevance and the culture of this practice for the pedagogical work. The research presents a panoramic approach to the introduction of the class Council in Brazilian schools expanded its institutionalization in the Federal law 5692/71 and its continuity in the term of LDB 9394/96. Broke this contextualization to the guidelines of the educational system of the State of Minas Gerais, its educational policies and their regulations for the Organization and operation of State schools, as well as the role of SRE/Carangola with its guidelines for the work of the Council. The locus of the research stopped in seven schools that offer the final years of primary school by choosing systematic follow-up, as a case study in one of these schools. Thus sought to identify which issues are being prioritized on the agenda of the Council, under the observation of the significance of this political-pedagogical space, within the framework of school management. In this sense, the questions expressed at systemic, regulatory teams, are reflected in the Council of class through their placements and educational conceptions. It is considered, therefore, that any process that involves the teaching and learning assessment culminates in collective class Council adding him the importance of a collegiate education.
