OLIVEIRA, ANA CRISTINA PRADO DE; CARVALHO, CYNTHIA PAES DE  e  BRITO, MURILLO MARSCHNER ALVES DE. School management: a look at the initial training of brazilian public schools’ principals. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, pp.473-495.  Epub 11-Jan-2021. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol36n22020.99857.

Educational literature recurrently documents the importance of the school principal's work for educational outcomes. However, are principals prepared, in their initial training, for such duties? This article presents a reflection about the curriculum of a sample from undergraduate courses, focusing on the available training in school management. We discuss the hypothesis that the undergraduate courses which offer the initial training for those professionals seem unable to prepare them for the challenges that the role of school principal presents at Brazilian public schools.
