Abstract

From the 1990's, national education legislation recommends the democratic management at schools. Since then, in Belo Horizonte, capital of the Brazilian state of Minas gerais, the election of school principals is a reality as an important link in this chain. Upon taking on the position, the elected principals answer for the school management in the financial, budgeting, administrative and pedagogical dimensions. The present qualitative research, a case study, proposes the identification and analysis of the main challenges found by directors, in first management experience, in their first year, in the Venda Nova Regional (VN) of the city, from the following question: which are the main challenges met by principals in their first year of mandate? This study was developed throughout 2015 by means of semi structured with five of the six identified directors and with a manager from the Educational Secretariat ( Secretaria Municipal de Educação – SMED). A document analysis from the monitoring team reports and from the TAGs ( claims received through the Ombudsman System and Public Management – in the cited regional and from the first part of the reports from the management evaluation took on by SMED. Moreover, we took in consideration the claims received orally and registered by the Regional Management of Venda Nova (GERED-VN). Supporting the analysis and discussions, we used the authors Lück (2009; 2010), Boccia (2011), Dabul and Lacerda (2013), machado (2013; 2014) and Paro (2015), among other researches from the area. We also intended to check in what way the regional and central organs can help the new principals. At the end of this study, we propose an Educational Action plan (PAE) which synthesizes the suggestions of the interviewed people looking for susidies for the training and following up of these subjects, since election and through he first year acting in the position.
