Pedagogic Projects: utopias that move us ahead

Abstract

Taking in account the historical development of the elementary school institutionalization in Brazil, this article focuses on the pedagogic project of schools from a particular viewpoint, recognizing such project as a factor of tension in the main Brazilian educational law (LDB). This project is considered a positive thing that, at the present time, can promote distinct attitudes to face the challenges concerning teaching and management of schools. Looking at public school practices, this work brings ideas by several authors connecting technical and political issues which are essential to elaborate the pedagogic project of schools understood as a possible and desirable practice to fulfill the educators’ professional duties.
