A superintendência escolar na rede pública estadual de ensino do Ceará: perspectivas e desafios

Abstract

The School Superintendency is a project developed in the state education network in the State of Ceará since 2008. It is a service to support the management of schools and monitoring of educational indicators. The project seeks to collaborate with the dynamics of the school director, helping him to reflect on his actions, results achieved, management tools and school processes from the intervention of the Superintendent School, external agent that carries out the follow-up actions to schools. The case management investigated the development of this project. As a methodological strategy, a case study was carried out in three schools located in the city of Fortaleza. The qualitative research was carried out through a semistructured interview with the directors, school coordinators and the School Superintendents that accompany each one of the three schools. The objective of the study was to raise inputs that could contribute to management actions that impact on the improvement of educational indicators, as well as identifying vulnerability points within the scope of project development. The theoretical framework used was based on authors such as Perez (2010), Lück (2009 and 2013), Mainardes (2006) and Conde (2012). The results show good propositions regarding the practices of the School Superintendent. However, aspects that require adjustments, such as planning the actions and the initial and continuous profile / formation of the Superintendent, were detected through field research. Therefore, an Educational Action Plan (PAE) was proposed, with proposals for intervention on these aspects, in order to contribute to the consolidation of the School Superintendence as a public policy of monitoring and monitoring the actions of school management.
