Resumo: | Educational quality in Brazil has improved at a slow pace despite continued public policy efforts. The international literature has noted the importance of school management and the principal’s profile on students’ performance, but this discussion is recent in Brazil. In this study, we investigate the effects of the selection process of principals on students’ performance from public state schools in Brazil. We conclude that while the “selection process” channel is not clear, the “principal quality effect” indicates that the more democratic and technical selection methods tend to select most qualified principals in terms of leadership and managerial abilities. The principal who has time to implement changes, who adopts management practices to encourage teachers and has experience being the leader of the school present better results in terms of student’s performance. Therefore, it is important that the principal selection process choose professionals with the skills mentioned.

Embora a literatura internacional já aponta para a importância da gestão escolar e perfil do diretor no desempenho dos alunos, essa discussão é ainda recente no Brasil. Nesse estudo nós investigamos o efeito do processo de seleção de diretores no desempenho dos alunos de escolas públicas estaduais brasileiras. Os resultados mostram que que, embora o efeito do processo de seleção não seja claro, o efeito das características do diretor indica que processos mais técnicos e democráticos de escolha do diretor tendem a selecionar diretores mais qualificados em termos de liderança e habilidades gerenciais. O diretor experiente, que tem tempo para implementar mudanças e que adota práticas gerenciais para estimular os professores apresentam melhores resultados, em termos de desempenho dos alunos. Nesse sentido, é importante que o processo seletivo escolha profissionais com as características mencionadas.
