In an attempt to contribute to the intercultural transformation of school management, this work aims to understand how school managers from three public schools located in Chapecó/SC conceive, narrate and position themselves in the face of problems arising from the relationship between the different ones in the school routine. The approach is qualitative, semi-structured and it recruited two types of research: bibliographic, especially by authors in the field of critical interculturality; and field research, performed through semi-structured interviews with managers, supervisors and teachers of the schools studied. At first, this work presents the concept of critical intercultural education in order to highlight its potentialities for another scholar management. In its second topic, it proposes some principles for an intercultural management of schools. As a conclusion, it analyzes data collected from the theoretical references adopted. The results indicated that the intercultural education presents itself as a possibility for managing diversity in complex and diverse institutions such as the school. They point to the need for a public policy that encourages the recognition of the different, problematizes unequal power relations and creates effective conditions for the exercise of dialogue. It concludes that there are many positive actions and intentions underway in the schools studied, but insufficient to overcome a school culture based on the paradigms of exclusion, standardization and monoculturality.

Keywords : School management; Critical intercultural education; Public school.
