The institutional educational project allows us to establish clear objectives, plan coherently, involve the community, efficiently manage resources and continually evaluate educational processes. Theoretical methods are applied: analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, historical method and the development of the proposal. Empirical methods: observation of directors and officials, surveys of students, families and community agents, interviews with management structures and the experiential method.
