Abstract
This article aims to investigate the challenges and opportunities related to innovation in educational management, focusing on the practices and strategies that can be implemented to promote a more effective, inclusive and adaptable education. The rationale for this study lies in the growing need to modernize educational practices in response to the social, technological, and economic changes of the twenty-first century. The methodology adopted was bibliographic research, with a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the subject, exploring the state of the art and identifying the main trends and challenges. The results highlight that innovation in educational management requires a holistic approach, which considers not only the introduction of new technologies, but also changes in organizational culture, leadership development, and the formulation of aligned public policies. The personalization of teaching, the continuous training of managers and the sustainability of innovative practices emerge as key elements. It is concluded that, for innovation to be effective and sustainable, it is necessary to have a collective commitment, support from public policies and a school culture that values experimentation and inclusion. Innovation, when well conducted, has the potential to transform education, making it more relevant and equitable.
