SCHOOL MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION: TRANSFORMING THE SCHOOL INTO A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The article analyzed how school management can be transformed into a dynamic and inclusive environment through the integration of innovative technologies and collaborative practices. The objective was to investigate how these practices contribute to the construction of learning communities that promote the engagement of the school community and the integral formation of students. The theme was addressed from the perspective of democratic management, technology as a pedagogical tool and the role of the manager and the teacher as agents of transformation. The research used a bibliographic methodology, based on the critical analysis of theoretical sources that explore the relationship between management, innovation and inclusion in the school environment. The analysis focused on the articulation of different theoretical frameworks, identifying connections between management practices, neuroscience and teacher training. It was concluded that school management, when guided by democratic practices and the strategic use of technology, is capable of overcoming administrative and pedagogical barriers, creating more equitable and effective educational environments. In addition, the importance of continuous teacher training to integrate technological advances into teaching in a meaningful way was highlighted. The research reinforced the need to expand empirical studies on the practical impact of these strategies, especially in challenging contexts, and proposed ways for the school to respond to the educational demands of the twenty-first century.
