Supervisão

: a sustentabilidade do meu percurso profissional

Abstract

My reflective report, theoretically supported, started to be thought in mid-2012. It came out of a need to validate, through reflection, my day -to-day as a secondary education teacher, past and future. The creation of the text went throughgradual changes untilthe final product, which I now present, and aims to examine three moments of my experience as a secondary school teacher, whichI think werea very significant and enriching journey in my professional and personal life. The experiences reported and analyzed occurred from 1999 to 2011 and were integrated in the global educational and political contextbecause of its complexity. In this text,there are reports of my experiences as the President of an Executive Council, as ateacher trainer in mathematics and as a Department Coordinator. Thisreflection motivatedcareful research, which helped tointerpret and analyze in the light of the theoretical framework of the Educational Sciences.From these, some transversal dimensions of the performed roles came out, such as Supervision, Collaboration and the buildingof Professional Knowledge, grounded in the ability to developinterpersonal relationships. This exercise has required discipline and work, qualities which Iusually demand from my students. My studentsare also the reason why I did it: toget to know myselfbetter, to be more aware of what I should know to be able to teach and,hopefully, to become abetter teacher.
