Grounded in the perspective of autobiographical narrative inquiry in education, this article develops a theoretical-reflective exercise on ten years of experience as a supervising professor in the curricular internship component of initial teacher education. It discusses challenges, learning processes, and meanings attributed to practice within the continuous movement of educating and self-formation, in view of the responsibilities and social role of teaching. The text is organized around the presentation of narrative inquiry in education and its methodological procedures, the discussion of curricular internship and teacher education, and the account of the teacher educator’s experience over the course of a decade. Reflections are presented on the challenges, learning processes, and meanings constructed in the relationship with students and schools. Finally, the analytical path is synthesized, highlighting the internship as a privileged space for education and for the construction of meanings about being a teacher.
