Abstract
This article aims to discuss the new educational paradigms aimed at sustainable development in order to build a new school model from the most effective interaction of all those involved in the educational process, the families of students and society. This idea is based on the assumption of participatory management and is in line with the promotion of sustainability in the school environment to be considered as involving individual actions, but also as encompassing collective ones. Environmental education cannot be used as an action concerning only the individual in a fragmented way. Nor can it turn to generic, abstract collectives outside the territorial and historical context. This article also aims at discussing effectiveness of the use of qualitative indicators, in the sense of verifying if the results can be used in public policies directed to the school, as well as at discussing participatory management effectiveness in the constitution of sustainable schools.
