School, guidance. and social change

Resumo

In this issue I’ll intend to give a view on in service teacher training from a political approach, understanding this as the contribution made to the community by people individually as well as in group. I’ll come close to show you how today’s teacher training focuses on simply technical and academic aspects and how the needs of teacher training are designed not taking in mind teachers’ real demands but according to the educative authorities policies. Thus, I think it will be relevant to relate to the school as an institution, the training/expert advice teachers receive and the social values which I consider them being embedded in teacher training, and which will outline pupils’ future education and their later influence as citizens.
