STRATEGIC PLANNING IN SCHOOL MANAGEMENT: IMPACTS ON TEACHING AND LEARNING

Abstract

This study investigated the impacts of strategic planning in school management on students' teaching and learning. The general objective was to analyze how the implementation of a strategic plan can influence pedagogical practices, academic performance and the relationship between the school community. The research adopted a qualitative approach, characterized as a bibliographic review, in which several publications on the subject were analyzed. Case studies and planning practices in different schools were examined, with emphasis on the participation of the school community, the use of technologies and the challenges faced by managers. The results revealed that strategic planning contributes to the organization and efficiency of educational processes, promoting teaching focused on the needs of students and increasing their engagement. In addition, the use of technological tools in school planning enabled an accurate and efficient monitoring of educational results. However, obstacles were identified, such as resistance to change and lack of financial resources, which could jeopardize the execution of planned strategies. The final considerations highlighted that strategic planning has a positive impact on teaching and learning, but there is still a need for studies to better understand the best practices of implementation and teacher training.
