Educational portfolio and professional background
My name is Daisy Maria Alves Rocha. I am an educator with a degree in Pedagogy from the Federal University of Uberlândia, a specialization in School Administration from the Institute of Education of Minas Gerais, studies in Educational Guidance at the University of Brasília, and a postgraduate degree in Education from the University of Batatais.
I devoted about 30 years to teaching, working mainly in basic education, secondary education, and the former Brazilian first- and second-level school system. My professional path has been centered on student development and on strengthening pedagogical practices in schools.
I also lived in England for five years, an experience that broadened my cultural background and led to fluency in English. Throughout my career, I have remained closely connected to education, school organization, and educational guidance.
I am also the author of the book “Social Studies in the Early Grades of Primary School,” focused on teaching social knowledge in the early school years. I currently live in Brasília, Federal District, where I remain connected to education and to ongoing reflection on teaching and pedagogical development.
