TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: PRINCIPLES OF THE TRAINING PATHS PROGRAM

Abstract

This article addresses the Veredas Formativas program, developed by the municipal education network of Curitiba, with the objective of consolidating the continuing education of education professionals and strengthening their identity as educators. Established in 2017, the program seeks to organize the various training actions of the network and create a structured and cohesive path for the professional development of teachers. Based on Paulo Freire's conception of incompletion, Veredas Formativas recognizes training as a permanent and collaborative process, promoting reflection and constant improvement of educators. In this study, we analyze the principles and objectives of the program, highlighting how it contributes to the construction of a pedagogical practice that values emancipation and social commitment. The research used a qualitative approach of a descriptive nature, allowing us to understand the different fronts of action of the program.
