The study analyzes the importance of continuing education in the expectation of obtaining social changes through the construction and reconstruction of knowledge. The object of analysis is the Specialization Course in School Management, linked to the National School of Public Managers Basic Education / MEC / SEB, implemented by the Federal University of Western Para / UFOPA in 2011. The study was performed by means of literature analysis and field survey with questionnaires and focus groups with graduates of that course, having sustained analysis on three themes: Continuing education by the school manager EAD; management and improving learning outcomes and democratic management: problems and possibilities. It was found that continuing education for managers contributed to add knowledge to be applied in their daily practice. The subjects recognize the importance of continuing education to achieve social change from the perspective of building a school socially relevant and that the knowledge acquired in the course also led to improved learning outcomes of students in schools where they work, considered not only the perspective statistic, but mostly about the gains related to the understanding of the problems and the possibility of collaborative solution. The directors surveyed consider that they now know what democratic management is, but recognize that is still a challenge to its implementation in schools.
