Class Supervision, Leadership and Project Management

  The UC is based on the assumption that the role of the supervisor, as an organizational and pedagogical leader and development agent of the educational community, requires, in addition to other skills, that he / she knows how to think proactively and strategically, manage and mobilize people and teams, promoting personal and organizational development. The option for a theoretical and methodological framework selected at the intersection of contributions from the sociology of organizations and project theory is justified by its suitability for the acquisition by the master's students of in-depth knowledge and the development of reflective analysis attitudes about qualified leadership concepts and practices educational, valuing participation / mobilization and co-responsibility of all those involved in the educational process, namely, in the scope of the management of, and by, projects.
