This study reflects on the continuing education of working teachers, with the field of analysis a municipal school in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul State. This is a case study, conducted with document research and interviews with teachers and administrators. Their statements indicate that the allocation of time for the continued education of the school teachers studied is given secondary importance to bureaucratic issues, which limits the autonomy of the school and its advances in meeting collective needs. The contradictions identified in continuing education, which result from conflicting interests, can simultaneously represent limiting aspects that subordinate education to the system of capitalist production. But they are also stimulants of transformations, because they encourage dialog, autonomy, participation and critical reading.
Keywords : Continuing Teacher Education; Participation of Teachers; School Autonomy.
