Abstract:
Democratic School Management follows the context of participation. It involved the entire school community in a present and active way in decision-making. In this way, this participation contributes to the elaboration and execution of the Pedagogical Political Project and the implementation of pedagogical policies that bring better results in the teaching and learning process. Therefore, this monograph presents itself with the general objective to analyze school management based on the principle of democracy, therefore, understood as democratic management. Some questions are necessary, such as knowing the legal foundations of democratic management and its characteristics, identifying the role of the school manager in the collective work and the pedagogical, political commitment, and, finally, understanding the importance of the participation of the school council in the decision-making processes of school management. It presents a problem: how does this democratic management happen within the school units and the collective participation of the school council in the documents that guide them?. Therefore, the methodology to be used will be bibliographic research, based on scientific research in the field of school management by the prominent authors' LIB NEO (2018), LUCK (2009) (2015), OLIVEIRA, and QUEIROZ (2019) (2020), PARO (2006) (2007) and the official documents that guide democratic management, including the Law of Guidelines and Bases - LDB/96, Pedagogical Political Project - PPP and the National Education Plan - PNE. Thus, it is evident that democratic school management seeks to strengthen the participation of school, family, and society in the teaching and learning, and social process. Therefore, to develop the referred management, the school manager is chosen to carry out work in a participatory democratic way, with autonomy and the development of collective participation.
