Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze the modifications in the role of education supervisors in the frame of the national and district reform policies, taking the province of Buenos Aires as a case of analysis, since it is the biggest district in Argentina in terms of territory, demographics and education. In the period chosen, the provincial government has made changes in the academic structure, and in the administration of the education, in order to adapt to the successive cycles of reform passed by the National Congress. As the province made changes on the academic structure, which included reforming institutions, subjects, curriculum designs, specializations, among other issues; it also modified the structure of supervision, which is a link between the central level and the educational institutions. Our purpose is to describe these changes and their impact on the shaping of the teaching supervisors’ job, based on the analysis of documentaries and official regulation sources.
