Abstract
We intend to present achievements on the continuing education of early childhood teachers at the Municipal Departments of Education in different regions of the state of Paraná from 2002 to 2016. To this we add the reflections we have undertaken on the subject. We witness the daily challenges of teaching teams and teachers and consider that one of the elements that contribute to the fragility of pedagogical work is due to the fragile continuous formation of teachers. Studies and works developed by us, in a decade and a half, focus on the classic and contemporary elaborations of the Historical-Cultural Theory, which defends the possibility of maximum intellectual development and that reaffirms the need to organize teaching based on the maximum human elaborations. As a result of our work, we are successful in some countries: our pedagogical teams and teachers developed the sense of belonging and recognize themselves as protagonists of the historical process and, at the same time, enabled children to become equally proud in their individual and historical realizations.
