The present dissertation aimed to analyze which factors led the Manuel Bandeira School (fictional name) to change its position as one of the worsts elementary schools in the city Juara/MT, in the early 1990s, in terms of the quality of teaching and academic achievent of its students, to the school with the highest Development Index of Basic Education (IDEB), in the year 2011, in the state of Mato Grosso. Therefore, by means of the improvement in the quality of education in the state, specifically in the state schools of the Cefapro hub of Juara, we aimed to identify, in this analysis, the factors that contributed to such improvement, investigating and mapping out the pedagogical management actions imbued with educational projects which were implemented between 2008 and 2013, as we intend to comprehend in which manner the manager‘s work impacted the reached results. The research, of qualitative approach, drew from semi-structured interviews as a data gathering instrument, conducted with the management team of such school, with the member of its CDCE and with the principal who managed previous mandates, as well as in loco observation and documental analysis. In order to analyze the reality experienced, we found basis in theories that discuss the role of the manager nowadays, beginning a process of perception aimed at magnifying the participative and pedagogical position of the managers. Aiming to socialize and divulge such factors, besides learning the actions that set in motion the educational practices which proved successful in the school, and improving the ones that needed, we proposed an Educational Intervention Plan, directed to the State Education Secretariat.
