INNOVATIVE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT: MODELS OF SUCCESS

Abstract

This study investigated how democratic and innovative school management practices could be effectively implemented in public schools to improve the quality of education and promote inclusion. The general objective was to analyze the management strategies that favor these aspects. The methodology of bibliographic review was used, analyzing articles, books and dissertations relevant to the theme. The results showed that democratic management, characterized by the active participation of the entire school community, promotes a collaborative environment. The integration of technologies was identified as an innovative practice to transform education, facilitating communication and school organization. However, the need for continuous training for managers and teachers and careful planning for the effective integration of technologies was highlighted. Inclusive practices, essential to ensure equity, involve creating a culture of welcome and respect, as well as adapting school activities to meet the needs of all students. In the final considerations, it was concluded that democratic and innovative school management can contribute to the improvement of the quality of teaching and the promotion of inclusion, as long as it is implemented in a continuous and collaborative manner. The need for additional studies was pointed out to explore the application of these practices in different contexts and assess the long-term impacts.
