Cuidar dos professores para cuidar da escola

Abstract

This article aims to show how the matters of care permeate the actions that take place at a school that belongs to the public system of the state of São Paulo, resulting in teachers’ permanence. Reflexive interviews were performed with seven teachers of the unit mentioned. Qualitative data analysis resulted in the perception that caring for the structure, for the families, for students’ learning – which allows that positive results are evident –, for discipline, collective work, and the school environment makes teachers feel appreciated in their professional making, which contributes for teachers’ choice to stay at school.
