Impulso, Piracicaba, v. 16, n. 40, p. 55-65, 2005.0103-7676e- 2236-9767http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/12850The current text reflects upon changes that have occurred in public schools, based upon the structural changes and the “managed revolution” implemented in Brazil since the 1990’s. The article analyzes a management proposal executed in elementary schools in three regions of Brazil (North, Northeast, Mid-west), named School Development Plan. It shows how that proposal was institutionally achieved and examines its impact on the school work’s management and organization. Although anchored by autonomy and participation principles, this proposal brings a “strategical” and management vision, centered in budget rationalization and in operational efficiency. The results point that some schools tend to privilege the strategical proposal, rather than the political and pedagogical project of the school.porAcesso AbertoGestão escolarPlanejamento estratégicoAutonomia escolarSchool administrationSchool autonomyStrategical planningArtigo
