The actions of pedagogical supervision in supporting the teaching practice and the process of continuous education of teachers is subject under discussion as an area of expertise that is central to the educational institutions as workspace involving teachers, administrators, students and other professionals working in educational practice. The objective of this research was to understand how is developed the support for pedagogical practice and continuing education of teachers conducted by educational supervisors of the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Sul-Rio-Grandense Câmpus Pelotas. To develop the research I sought to highlight the knowledge used by supervisors to carry out the work activities, the support for pedagogical practice and the processes of continuous education, identifying the assumptions of their actions. From the methodological point of view, I resorted to semi-structured interviews with supervisors, observation of meetings between them and applied a questionnaire to teachers. The results revealed that the action of pedagogical supervision is seen as necessary to the teaching and learning process. Teachers understand that both the actions of supervision and the support of pedagogical practice, claims improvements and expansion of the permanence of professional routines of the institution. For supervisors, their activity is characterized by "be available to the teachers" to support them in their teaching.
