This research is part of the discussions about educational reforms. It’s also included in the reformulations of the educational policy, which is being carried out in different countries, including Brazil.The work intends to contribute to this discussion, analyzing the role and the possibilities of the pedagogical coordination action onfirst grade Portuguese Language curricular policyexecution. Its object has been one public school at Rio de Janeiro city, assuming that the coordinator and the teachers are co-producers and creative readers of the educational policy text. The research is based on that question: How the pedagogical coordinator, engaged in a pedagogical project which guides its actions along with the teachers at the school she works, balances the State policy (external proposal) with the school project (internal proposal). To provide a basis to the analyses of the curricular policy execution process, I use the Stephen Ball’s Policies Cycle (Ball et al, 1992) and the Basil Bernstein’s theory (1996),regarding the Pedagogical Speech Model. It’s a qualitative research which used the following instruments: observation of Teachers’ Studies Meetings, Teachers’ conference and first grade classes; interviews with the coordinator, and with the first grade and reading room teachers; document analyses of the Curricular Guidelinesand the Pedagogical Support Guides to the first grade. The study shows that the coordinator has sought to ensure the teaching/learning process of the students, during the implementation process of the Portuguese Language curricular policy. She has developed reading projects (internal proposal) along with the teachers and, at the same time, she has obeyed the determinations of the SME (external proposal), regarding the goal and the what to teach (Portuguese Language literacy program). The coordinator defends and guides the teachers to direct their classes, following the competence model regarding how to teach. This balance between the school pedagogical proposal and the SME proposal results in a hybrid pedagogical model in these aspects: a) as regards to the competence model, the coordinator stands up that the teachers intervene in accordance with the student logic, following the rhythm and learning style of each one; b) as regards to the performance model, the coordinator follows the CurricularGuidelinesonwhatto teach on first grade and on well defined criteria to evaluate the students.
