This paper presents partial results of a research on the history of training and work of teachers from rural elementary schools belonging to the Board of Education of the municipality of São José do Rio Preto/SP between 1940 and 1970. The fundamental corpus of the study consisted of interviews with ten teachers (nine female teachers and one male teacher) who taught in rural schools during the period delimited for the study. Besides these oral sources, educational policies are analyzed in relation to the expansion of rural elementary education, as well as the changes in the Normal School, especially with the Reform of Primary and Secondary Education, by means of Law nº 5.692/71. TThe results obtained indicated that the teachers had difficulties with the multigrade classes and the location of the rural schools, generally difficult to access, however, many challenges were solved with the production of teaching materials, the production of meals and the purchase of primers for the children, but they were individualized solutions, since the rural schools in São Paulo never received systemic planning.

Keywords : History of the teaching profession; Training and work of rural teachers; Rural elementary school.
