1. PORTUGUESE CPD GUIDELINES
We need sensitive school communities that understand the diversity of personal, linguistic, cultural, social, ethnic and other differences as a human reality and not as a problem.
We need well prepared schools to deal with this pluralism with:
1. a strategic curricular plan of intercultural education;
2. CPD programmes centred on educational practice.
It was necessary to re-set, from the theoretical and methodological point of view, the models and practices of CPD according to:
a new paradigm of personal and professional development different from a paradigm of technical rationality;
new alternative methodologies (focused on teaching practice, strategies, experiences and stories) different from traditional models of teacher training (focused on teaching contents).
