Summary/Abstract: The concept of supervision, as a support for teachers, is new and unexplored in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In primary schools the support and advisory work is mainly implemented through the concept of control literal (as evidenced by the work descriptions of the pedagogical supervisor and existing legislation). Supervision as a support to professionals in the filed of rearing and education is one form of mental health protection, improving professional competencies and service quality in education. Therefore supervision is an important step forward in education reform in line with European standards. Considering supervision as a part of advisory work, which is not focused on a quality control, but on the development of competencies by reflection of professional experiences, we examine whether it is possible to change the mindset and settled habits through supervision (in a whole or only by applying parts acceptable in local context).
