The article presents the socio-professional profile of teachers who work in elementary school, based on the analysis of initial and continuing education and its interfaces with diversity. The research used the Survey method, whose data were collected from a self-administered questionnaire, involving two hundred and eighty-eight teachers from two Bahian municipalities. Quantitative data analyzes were conducted in dialogue with the emergence of diversity in teacher education policies. The study showed how initial and especially continuing education are relevant to working with diversity in the teaching profession. It also showed that teachers invest in continuing education, with the aim to enabling career progression, as well as to develop knowledge from new learning about the activities with the theme of diversity that they perform in schools.
