The focused case discusses the evaluation of the performance of the teachers located in the Regional Coordination of Educational Development, in Portuguese “Coordenadoria Regional de Desenvolvimento da Educação (CREDE 4)”, this coordination is supported by the Education Secretary of the State of Ceará, in Portuguese SEDUC. In this sense, the leading question of this research is: How is the evaluation of teacher’s competence affecting the teaching practice? Based on this question, the defined objectives in this work were: i) describing the procedure of the evaluation of teacher’s competence and its implementation in CREDE 4, ii) analyzing the contributions of the cited evaluation in the development of teacher’s practices who work in the schools located in CREDE 4 and iii) proposing actions in order to improve the evaluation, taking into consideration the data collected in this research. We also pointed out as our hypothesis that it is necessary to enhance the phases of planning, implementation and analysis of teacher’s evaluation. In order to test our hypothesis, we used as methodological procedure the qualitative research and as methodological instruments the documental research, interviews and questionnaire replies from the characters involved in this research: educational technicians and school coordinators of CREDE 4 and teachers.
