Abstract

The present study has as its general objective knowing and analyzing the performance of the support professional / monitor in the context of the one school of the City Teaching Network (RME) of Santa Maria- RS. As specific objectives, drawing a comparison on the number of support professionals / monitors in the last five years and identify the functions that these professionals perform in the school context. To draw the comparative, I used the data collection provided by the City Teaching Network of Santa Maria, as well as the data presented by Silva (2015). In order to identify the functions that the support professionals / monitors perform, I briefly knew the legal documents about this professional and used a research instrument with five the support professionals / monitors of a certain school. The research was linked to a descriptive exploratory and qualitative approach, and the semi structured interview was used as an instrument for the production of data. This was done with five support professionals/monitors from a school in the municipal network in order to be able to look at the professionals' performances within the same school space with the subjects in the situation of inclusion, as well as to identify which understandings they have about the attributions delegated to the support professional / monitor, in which the functions exclusively of hygiene, feeding and locomotion are delegated.
