DEMOCRATIC SCHOOL MANAGEMENT

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the practice of democratic management and the benefits that this management model offers to the entire school community, enabling the effective participation of all. It is organized into three chapters. The first chapter deals with democratic management and its meanings. In the second chapter I describe the instruments of democratic school management and the third chapter mentions school management: discourse and practice. All the research was based on renowned authors who defend the theme under study as fundamental for a quality education that values the participation of all. It is worth mentioning that the concept of school management is intrinsically associated with the movement to strengthen the democratization of the entire pedagogical process, which enables collective participation with increasingly significant results. Thus, democratic management constitutes a way of conducting a given school institution with the possibility of guaranteeing participation, transparency and, above all, democracy. The interest in this topic for the scientific article on democratic management came from readings on the subject.
