Abstract

This study presents and discusses the actions for the implementation of a project. The project was started in a school unit in the State Education Network in the state of Sao Paulo in the Integral Education [PEI], located in the city of Piracicaba – SP, as a way to guarantee the expansion of democratic management within the school, The objective of this work was to present and discuss the relationship between the constitution of the project in a comprehensive way, with the results of the actions that have already been carried out at the school. The school’s documents were analyzed, as well as the legal documents and the relevant bibliography. These all have a purpose to theoretically support the project, giving it a well-founded basis for its implementation. The purpose is to expand the democratic rights within the unit to allow Class Assemblies, corroborating with the democratic management, which will provide the school with a path towards its own identity. Along with the studied literature, the school’s internal documents and the results of the actions already carried out at the school, all validate the project’s viability. There is legal support for its implementation by meeting these proposals. Positive results corroborated the continuity of the successful practices by the analysis of data and the actions already carried out at the school which gives the full implementation of the project.

Highlights

The viability of a Democratic Management is a great challenge for the school manager: it is necessary, increasingly, to be able to open ways to leave the role of centralizer of power, and start to have a more collective attitude, rethinking its practice, taking from this, decisions that have been decided in a shared way
This study sought to make a literature and document review of books, articles, and internal documents of the school, to substantiate and support the implementation of the Project My School is My Nation within the school unit
The project's principle is to institute class assemblies as a strategy to increase the student's sense of belonging and to improve the school climate, and both the literature studied and the school documents corroborate its viability, considering that it contributes to the opening of another space for democratic participation in the school, helping to build its effective democratic management and providing the students' protagonism and autonomy

Summary

Introduction

The viability of a Democratic Management is a great challenge for the school manager: it is necessary, increasingly, to be able to open ways to leave the role of centralizer of power, and start to have a more collective attitude, rethinking its practice, taking from this, decisions that have been decided in a shared way For this to happen effectively, it is necessary that the manager manages to provide these spaces for participation and exercise of citizenship, democratizing social relations and developed practices (Oliveira, 2009), as suggested by Falcão and Silva (2020, p.6), The construction of democratic management in public schools requires an organization of work that is conducive to collective action and the existence of institutional instruments and mechanisms to ensure the participation of different segments of the school and local community in management processes and in decision-making on different issues of interest to the school. These aspects are currently understood to be a historical necessity, to meet the demands for access, permanence, and educational success, involving, the emancipation and construction of citizenship for all the millions of students who attend basic education throughout the country
