This autonomy defines the means to locally contextualize the centrally defined policies, but the implementation of these policies depends on the training and empowerment of school managers. This chapter describes and analyzes anb organizational improvement project of an elementary and secondary school in the district of Oporto. The object of this improvement project is the delegation and appropriation of decision skills by a set of class head teachers in the organization of the teaching process. The study methodology is part of a qualitative paradigm and uses the techniques of participant observation, document analysis produced at school and a focus group with class head-teachers of the 5th and 7th grades. The study aims to understand the dynamics of empowerment of class head teachers on the organization of the teaching process based on contiguous classes.
