TELL ME WHAT TEACHES, WHAT I WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE (AND HOW MUCH ARE YOU): THE TEACHER'S CONCEPTION IN SARESP

SARESP is a large-scale evaluation system implemented by the State Department of Education of Sao Paulo (SEE-SP), whose intention is to evaluate and act on the quality of the teaching offered in the public schools of Sao Paulo. Through policies added to it, as well, as changes in its structure and functioning since its creation in 1996, SARESP is increasingly exerting a strong influence on school organization, and especially on the pedagogical practices developed by teachers in the classroom. Thus, the purpose of this article is to understand the conception of the teacher present in the SARESP by analyzing its context and its structure and functioning, focusing on aspects that directly or indirectly impact on teaching work. To meet this objective, bibliographic and documentary analysis was used as methodological procedure. It was verified that the teacher is the one who, in detriment of the teaching itself, will be measured and valued for his skill in reproducing in the student what was recommended by the SARESP. There is a reversal of roles: the school, by its teachers, teaches what is evaluated by SARESP, instead of SARESP evaluating what the school teaches through the teacher.
