This article presents the main results of a completed research that had at its object the post of pedagogical coordination in the São Paulo state school system, emphasizing the work of the teacher-pedagogical coordinator (PCP). Based on a bibliographical-documental study, we have analyzed the main acts issued by the Secretariat for Education of the State of São Paulo in the period from 1996 to 2010. To define the period of analysis we considered the successive educational measures of a neoliberal nature that were put in place within the above-mentioned school system. From the selected acts, categories of analysis were established related to that post: denomination, justification and legal attributions; necessary requisites for teachers-coordinators and selection criteria; evaluation of the work conducted and basic bibliography requested at selection processes. The analysis of the legal documents allows us to identify the appropriation of this post by the recent educational reforms, recognizing the implications for the teaching work and for school organization. Inspired by managerial and performance principles, the educational reforms promoted deep changes in the nature of the work of the teacher-pedagogical coordinator, who, from an articulation agent within the school, began to be legally recognized as the subject responsible for the dissemination of official measures and by the control of teaching activities.
