Summary/Abstract: The multidimensional and dynamic changes currently occurring in the surrounding reality significantly influence the functioning of schools and pose new challenges for teachers. These changes generate additional responsibilities and contribute to emotional strain among teachers, stemming from the excess and diversity of tasks they face. In this context, reflection on one's professional practice, an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of one's pedagogical toolkit, and attention to both professional and personal development become essential. Supervision may offer a meaningful response to these needs of schools and teachers. It can be understood as a process through which teachers seek solutions, critically analyse their actions, and reflect on their professional experiences. This article explores the concept of supervision in education as a form of professional support for teachers, while also acknowledging the existing barriers within the school environment. Without addressing these barriers, severe difficulties may arise in implementing supervision. The analyses presented here articulate a clear and increasingly shared perspective that highlights the urgent need to introduce supervision into schools.
