Teacher professional development is a process that occurs in continuous cycles throughout life. Thus, the article summarizes the results of research carried out in a post-doctoral internship whose objec- tive was to analyze how experienced Portuguese teachers narrate their professional development process, identifying the sources that provided them with teacher knowledge. As for the approach, it is characterized as a qualitative field research, carried out with five teachers who work in two educational institutions in technical courses of professional education at a technical and higher level through biographical narratives. It was concluded that the entry into the profession occurred circumstantially. The main sources of knowledge are the experience in the training area and the reference teachers and, in relation to the feelings about the teaching career, they express motivation with the profession arising from the relationships they establish with students and recognition for the work done.

Keywords : Teaching life cycle; Teacher professional development; Professional education; Teacher education.
