This paper discusses the proposal of teacher training and the foundations of the method adopted to teach deaf children, from 1951 to 1961, in which Ana Rímoli de Faria Dória was the director of the National Institute for Education of the Deaf (INES). Based on Marc Bloch’s conception of history, the historical research was chosen as methodology. Speeches recorded in the Annals of the 1st National Conference of Teachers of Deaf Learners, held at INES, in 1959, and supporting texts were analyzed. The results point out that the conception of education, based on the correction of the disability, had a dialog with theoretical conceptions spread at that time, influencing teacher training, since they should teach oralization and lip reading to deaf children, according to the principles of the Pure Oral Method adopted throughout the national territory.

Keywords : Education of deaf children; Teacher training; Teaching method.
