This article retrieves and analyzes proposals and initiatives for the organization of elementary education in cycles of the municipal networks of Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre and São Paulo implemented in the first half of the 1990s and which served as a reference for other education networks, especially after the promulgation of LDB. In the context of education policies that have advocated their quality as expressed in the results of large-scale external evaluations, it is considered necessary to recover initiatives that, without necessarily rejecting the use of these results, sought to change the curricular organization of elementary education with a view to expanding quality in the perspective of its democratization.

Keywords : Democratization of Education; Curriculum Organization; Cycles; Elementary School.
