This article aims to investigate what influences does the teacher training process in the first year of the Brazilian National Pact for the Strengthening of Secondary Education have in the choice of textbooks (LD) for high school. We did a qualitative research, of a case study kind. Data collection was executed in 2014 out in a city in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, in the outskirts. Ten teachers from different areas of knowledge and a coordinator/supervisor were interviewed using a semi-structured screenplay. The process of choosing the textbook was characterized by individualism, culminating in the absence of dialogue and reflection among all teachers. But even individually, positive signs of the Pact for the Secondary Education were noted in the choice of textbook and in the daily lives of teachers. However, major changes, mainly referring to a “curriculum redesign” don’t materialize in isolated actions. For this to occur it is necessary to understand the school as a unit of multiple facets, each of which needs questioning, discussing and reflection among each other.
