Habilidades e competências do diretor escolar uma análise sobre as 4 dimensões da gestão e seus impactos na construção de uma educação de qualidade

Abstract

The present article is the result of some experiences from the ongoing training work for school managers offered by the School 10 – literate children program in a collaborative arrangement between the State of Alagoas and its 102 municipalities. For this training, various studies were conducted based on the literature produced on the topic of “School Management,” with an emphasis on the National Common Matrix of Competence for School Directors, approved by the National Council of Education (CNE) in 2021, which aims to standardize the role of the school director and presents four dimensions of management that should be addressed by this professional. When we began the fieldwork with the multiplication of training sessions, we observed a scenario where the administrative-financial and political-institutional dimensions gained prominence and relevance to the detriment of the others, which ended up being the responsibility of other professionals within the institutio. In light of this, a movement began to raise awareness about the impacts of the pedagogical and personal/relational dimensions on the success of the institution and the improvement of the quality of education offered. This movement highlights not only the Director’s Matrix but also the writings of renowned authors such as Paro (2015) and Luck (2009), who discuss this subject. As a result of this study, we will present a documentary analysis and a brief account of how this work was carried out with a team of managers from the municipality of Olho d’Água do Casado/AL, one of the 102 administrative divisions that conducts training for school managers, in accordance with the guidelines established by the state government program. We will also explore how a paradigm shift can enhance the reality of education in this locality. Thus, the study is qualitative in nature, with strong support from the literature review. Based on the readings conducted, the documentary analysis, and the experience report drawn from the authors’ experiences.
