The article at stake approaches thematic related to the evaluation, monitoring and accompaniment of the Rede ColaborAção Tocantins (RCT) developed in the pandemic period. The present reflection has objective to problematize the instrumental conception of the education and the evaluation by means of theoretician-philosophical reflection, which understands the education as social práxis, based on principles of the democratic management and the substantive formation. The study which originated this text was carried through in the perspective critical-dialectic, starting from the empirical reality understood as complex reality, contradictory and mediatized by multiples determinative. The study provided - as a theoretical-practical result – the explanation of the philosophical, political and methodological foundations of evaluation, monitoring and follow-up in the instrumental and substantive perspectives, as well as this enabled the composition of a set of criteria and procedures applicable to training in municipal education management. The discussion includes, in addition to the theoretical and practical aspects of management, evaluation, monitoring and accompaniment, the practical operational aspects of the training process.

This text, critically addresses, the issue of education management in order to apprehend elements of a formative planning process based on the relationship between the Secretariat's Action Plan and the Municipal Education Plan (PME) and Political Pedagogical Project instruments. In general, we can declare that the principles of democratic management and participation are basic elements in a planning process for these instruments and that, according to the consonance of subnational plans with the National Education Plan, they are also articulators of education in the municipality. The data analyzed make it possible to indicate that the Secretariat's Action Plan planning process is developed in a distinct and disputed manner, with the idea of a plan standing out as an end in itself and without articulation.
