INTRODUCTION. Based on the inherent benchmark of mentoring and perceptoring, and conscious of the challenge of reducing the estimated school dropout rate of 12% for the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV), the main aim of the project Supervision and Mentoring in Higher Education: Dynamics of Success (SuperES) is to promote the development of pedagogical supervision skills with focus on teacher – student dyads, and thus enhance the quality of teaching in the IPV. The direct bene*ciaries are the IPV assistants, and subsequently the students, who will bene*t from a pedagogical didactic literacy program (Cunha et al., 2017). OBJECTIVE. To promote the pedagogical supervision skills of the IPV assistants, which can reduce failure and school dropouts. METHODS. The sample will consist of approximately 210 assistants and 900 students. The methodology is based on an experimental research with two groups: the experimental group, which will receive training, and the control group. To monitor the e+ectiveness of the program, a battery of questionnaires will be applied before and after its implementation. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Of the 17 activities executed, the evaluation of the pedagogical supervision skills is highlighted. They are: (i) the construction/implementation/ evaluation of the SuperES Program; (ii) the construction of a computer platform/ website – Didactics & School Supervision: Caixa Geral de Ajudas; (iii) the creation of a tool, “Supervision +”, used for the self-monitoring of pedagogical skills. CONCLUSIONS. The SuperES program integrates a research action that aims to implement/ test training and research tools on the process of pedagogical supervision
