António Teodoro and Elsa Estrela are the invited researchers for the 2nd topic of the Itinerant Conference: Teaching Career Statute (An Assertive Architecture of the Educational System). This 2nd Conference will analyze and debate the Teaching Career Statute, questioning whether the current document (DL 41/2012) ensures the establishment of an environment of stability and trust in schools, the reduction of bureaucracy in work methods, and the evaluation of practices and administrative processes applied to the management of education as outlined in its preamble.

The event will take place on February 18, 2025, at 6:00 PM at Universidade Lusófona (or online) in the José Araújo Auditorium.

Thematic Program

• The repeated amendments to the Teaching Career Statute (TCS), the problems, difficulties in interpretation, and even misreadings that have resulted from them.
• Questioning the strong emphasis on performance evaluation as an opportunity to serve the professional development of teachers, the improvement of teaching quality, student outcomes, and the public education service.

The conference is certified (SHORT DURATION COURSE - Ordinance 5741/2015) and costs €5 for SPCE members and €10 for non-members.

Registration is mandatory here.

In these five conferences, under the overarching theme “An Assertive Architecture of the Educational System,” each participating institution gathers specialists to reflect and debate, with their peers, on options that can impact the improvement of the quality of the education and training system. SPCE aims to create synergies between higher education and non-higher education institutions to foster new forms of communication with members, society, and the scientific community, utilizing new methods of dissemination and information sharing.

These events are designed to foster moments of intense reflection and formative research in crucial areas for the development of education and the educational system.
