Abstract

This research paper aimed to reflect upon the importance of the contributions made by the school supervisor in the literacy of young people and adults, assisting in teaching practices developed by adult education teachers. This bibliographic study brought discussions about adult education in the country as well as the contribution of school supervision in literacy of young people and adults. The results showed that the performance of the school supervisor is of great importance for the improvement of the teaching-learning process in adult education, assisting in continuing education for literacy, making it compatible to the needs of youth and adult programs, valuing prior knowledge and cultural diversity of students. Therefore, one can conclude that the school supervisor, developing interventionist actions with teachers and administrators, contributes to the process of literacy of young people and adults, creating multiple and varied learning opportunities for students, promoting personal development and the construction of citizenship.
