Teaching and Learning Center
2nd edition - 2025/2026
This is a professional development and training course aimed at pedagogists and educators.
Pedagogical supervision is a field that has developed more recently than supervision in social work and psychology. However, it is a fundamental practice to support educators in critically reflecting on their work and to offer tools for professional growth, through the sharing of practices and the development of new methodologies, necessary to cope with the complexity of educational work. The educational professions also need qualified and appropriate support to reinforce their identity, fragmented by the diverse training and wide range of skills included in the professional family, while also enhancing their social relevance.
The course offers a reflection on the different models of supervision proposed over time, an analysis of the objects of pedagogical supervision (i.e., educational competence in its various dimensions: relationship, design, evaluation), methods and tools.
50 places are available. The application for admission to the course should be submitted online in the restricted area of the website www.unito.it by accessing the menu “Enrollment-->Pre-enrollment of programmed access courses”.
