Brief trajectory of public policies on teacher education

Abstract

The present work analyzes teachers' narratives about their graduation related to national and municipal public policies that impact teacher training. We sought to understand teachers’ formation based on Brazilian public policies related to municipal ones. For this, the study is focused on the legislation, having as its object the (auto) biography of four elementary school teachers from two Bahia municipalities. They reflect on life education and professional performance, focusing on the education policies of teachers. We can notice breaches in the system, setbacks in public policies for teacher training in recent decades, and the urgency of rethinking the process of teachers training at the municipal level, emphasizing the main training space and the practices that occur in the daily life of the school.
