ABSTRACT
The text brings elements that help to understand how teachers of basic education have discussed educational policies. For this, it presents data from a research whose objective was to identify possible changes in teaching and management practices, recognized by them as resulting from current educational policies. It had the theoretical support of authors such as Ball (2005, 2008), Fairclough (2016), Mainardes (2006), among others, to characterize the macro and micro context of policies, through the perception of teachers and managers. The results indicated few collective moments, in which more explanations happen than discussions about educational policies and the need to strengthen communication networks that favor resistant readings and interpretations to reflect on the process of educational commoditization and the naturalization of values of corporate culture.
