: a construção de uma identidade

Abstract

With this reflective report it is intended to describe the importance of school Educational Project in the organization and management of a grouping of schools, as well as, in the construction of its identity, through the collective will of an educational community. In this context, it is important to evaluate the dynamics of the work developed by the school in the process of design and implementation of school Educational Project and its contribution to progressive school autonomy. In the first part of the report I make a brief description of my life story, performing a reflection about my academic career and my professional life, as a teacher and as a school headmaster. In the second part, I analyse the construction, monitoring and evaluation of the Educational Project of the grouping of schools Santos Simões and its importance in what concerns to the building of the identity of the grouping of schools, as a tool for its autonomy. In the conclusion, I refer to the contributions the Project had on the creation of an identity of the school and also on the creation of conditions for the signing of autonomy contract with the Minister of Education and Science which will contribute to the achievement of strategic goals and aims outlined in the Educational Project and to an effective improvement of students’ learning.
