Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the implementation of the Integrated School Program (IEP) at school manager in two schools of the Municipal Education of Belo Horizonte, and propose an Action Plan aimed Educational enhance this process. The Integrated School Program (IEP), established in 2007 by the city of Belo Horizonte, aims to improve the quality of education from the extension of the school day. The implementation of the program in schools occurs vertically (Top / Down), and from the role of new actors in the process of training the student in the context of generating practical alienation and resistance from various professionals working in the school. In this context the implementation process becomes a challenge for the school management to ensure the achievement of the objectives proposed by the policy. For this study, we adopted the methodology of case study with qualitative approach to data collection made from documentary research and semi-structured interviews with educators who work in the process of implementing the program, the managers and the mainstream education teachers of the schools surveyed. The theoretical approach was through a dialogue with the academic production about the topic. The analysis of research conducted in schools A and B revealed that the process of implementing the program is hampered by flaws in the selection process of cultural agents working in the implementation, the difficulty of linking the program with regular education, the ignorance of the aims by the implementers, lack of conjunction with the Politic Pedagogical School Project and the lack Program by users. Thus, we presented a Plan of Action with Educational actions to be put into practice by school management, aiming an improving process of implementing the program.
