Abstract

This dissertation was developed in Professional Master’s Degree in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (PPGP) of Public Politics and Evaluation of Education Center of Juiz de Fora Federal University. This management case study has discussed the pedagogical monitoring of foreign language teachers of More Languages Program at Monsignor José Aloysio Pinto Professional State High School (EEEP) as a collaborating element for its operation. Therefore, this management case study sook to answer the following question: how can the foreign language teaching practice at Monsignor José Aloysio Pinto EEEP benefit of the implementation of a continuing teacher education program? The general purpose of this work was to discuss the pedagogical monitoring and the foreign language teacher education meetings at above-mentioned school and propose a continuing education program that can contribute to the professional development of the foreign language teachers and fill the needs of More Languages Program. The specific purposes were: i) to describe the pedagogical monitoring actions for the foreign languages teachers of the Program that have been occurring throughout the School Management staff and State of Ceará Education Department (Seduc-CE); ii) to analyze the relevance of continuing foreign language teacher education as an important field of research in order to intervene in education reality in a wide range, applying that analysis in the More Languages Program; iii) to propose a continuing foreign language teacher education program in order to apply the constructed knowledge to the improvement of the operation of the Program. We assume as hypothesis that there was a need for structuring a continuing teacher education program for the teachers of More Language Program. That hypothesis was carried out since there were meetings whose aims were to discuss bureaucratic issues, instead of proposing a continuing teacher education program that could collaborate on the professional development of the teachers and the operation of More Languages Program. In order to achieve that, we used as methodology the qualitative research and as instruments of data collection bibliographic research to search for evidences for the management case study and semi structured interviews to deepen the knowledge of the school reality and propose improvements for the pedagogical monitoring of the foreign language teachers. As a product of the research, we elaborated an Educational Action Plan in which we proposed a continuing teacher education program for More Languages Teachers. Through the statements of the researched participants, we verified the possibility of the continuing foreign language teacher education program proposed in this research be available for other teachers of Ceará State Public Schools, considering that there is no continuing teacher education program for State Schools in Ceará
