In this paper we intend to discuss some consensus around devaluation of teaching in the scope of the struggles involved in other forms of living and working at school. From a micro-politics view, the contributions of Foucault and Deleuze, we also discuss the devaluation of the teaching profession in the process of knowledge and job training institutionalization.In conclusion we show that, under the apparent convergence reside different readings of what is happening and the consequent challenges in everyday practice, encouraging developments and interference in public policy.
