Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze the first stage of the training course for managers of the Municipal Education Juiz de Fora – MG, which focuses on empowering leadership and deputy candidates toward building the Work Plan with which they must register for the election for the office. The purpose is also to present an Educational Action Plan as an improvement proposal at this stage of the course. The choice of this topic was given by the author's experience while managing school and the difficulty faced upon assuming the direction of the school without any previous training. The research was conducted with the graduates of the first stage of the course, elected to the office of management and with two representatives of the Department of Education Juiz de Fora. The procedures for data collection consisted of semistructured interviews and a questionnaire application. The research was also on document analysis and literature review on management and management training. The survey results indicate that the first step of course helped in the preparation of the Work Plan, the content offered were relevant, the course format (distance mode) was well accepted and easy adaptation by course participants and tutors that intervention was satisfactory. However, it was found that it took place at an unfavorable season and insufficient workload duration. It was identified also by the analysis of the interviews and questionnaire that managers do not have clarity of how to effectively manage the school and learn to function in day-to-day with hits and misses. Thus, one can understand the need for prior training, broad, in which the future school manager acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for the exercise of his office and that can assist in building a quality public education. In this regard, we proposed a reformulation of the first step of course analyzed and, in addition, it is suggested the certification as a requirement for candidacy for the office of school management and further elaboration of the political training of managers of the Department of Education of Juiz de Fora.
