CONTINUED TRAINING OF LITERACY TEACHERS IN THE BRAZILIAN EDUCATIONAL SCENARIO

Abstract

The present study is justified by the need to invest in the continued training of literacy teachers, aiming at qualitative transformations in the school. Ongoing teacher training directly contributes to improving the quality of teaching. This need for continued action has always been present, but it has currently intensified due to the increase in Education professionals seeking appreciation and prominence in the job market. The research was conducted through a thorough search of bibliographical sources, using renowned authors as a theoretical basis who address the fundamental issues of continuing education, literacy and Historical-Critical Pedagogy. It is concluded that the continued training of literacy teachers is essential to guarantee the quality of education in Brazil. It is essential that governments, educational institutions and teachers themselves recognize the need to invest in continuing education programs, which include not only the improvement of technical skills, but also the development of socio-emotional skills. Only in this way can we guarantee that our students have access to quality education and become citizens prepared to face the challenges of the 21st century.
