School management

Educational institutions are responsible for the relevance of education in the country. However, with the change in the economic scenario, in social relations, and the advancement of technology, the market started to demand educational managers updated in the concepts, skills, strategies, and management tools.

The government has increasingly invested in programs aimed at expanding basic and professional education. These programs signal the expansion of basic and technical education, which raises the demand for management positions in schools.

In addition, the scenario generated by the great transformations resulting from technological advances and the globalization of the economy demands a concept of school under a systemic approach, within the scope of school management. This means thinking about a modern, democratic, and autonomous management model, capable of contributing to raising the quality of education and promoting sustainability, understood here in its broadest concept, which encompasses the social, economic, and environmental dimension.

Therefore, the school manager extrapolates the activities centered on the figure of the principal and on the bureaucratic control of the school. He is responsible for organizing the work to be developed in the school, planning the activities, coordinating the workgroups, and articulating all the actions to be developed in the school unit.

Objective:

The course aims to prepare professionals to act in the direction, supervision, coordination, and pedagogical guidance in educational institutions. It aims to develop competencies that enable the efficient and effective performance of these respective functions, from the perspective of strategic and entrepreneurial management, in order to contribute to the increase in the quality standards of education and the realization of the social function of the school. It is in compliance with article 64, of Law nº 9.394 / 96, Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDB).
