Abstract
This article dicusses the origin of educational innovation in a NGO's work with basic public schools in municipalities of Pernambuco, Brazil. The research aimed to detect the presence or absence of certain factors in the genesis of the experience investigated. It is a case study for which publications were examinated and semi structured enterviews were conducted with the NGOs' heads and agents, as well as with rural teachers and managers in municipal secretaries of education. It concludes that salient factors in generating innovation are the length of the educator's professional experience, the stability of their staff, the level of qualification and the mobilizing role of leaders of NGOs.
