This article analyses the service of technical inspection as a production strategy of a school model in the State of Minas Gerais under the João Pinheiro Reform. Within the process of constitution of an educational system guided by the reference of modern pedagogy, the technical inspectors were education shapers, enabling teachers to the proper exercise of new methods, making visible through exemplar classes the correct way to practice these new methods. Under this perspective, the technical inspector acted on the teaching practice, from an established place of power, the place of an authorized interpreter whose action intended to harmonize the teacher's practices with the rules determined in shaping of a certain school model in the State of Minas Gerais.
