The initiatives of Erasmo Pilotto and Diva Vidal, educators who have acted and influenced the school administration in a moment of expansion of the ideas of the Pedagogy of the New School and of the Normal Schools in the State of Paraná, are the central theme of this present study. This article aims to highlight the performance of these historical individuals and their strategies to "modernize" the pedagogical practice of rural primary schools, through the Normal Schools, the pedagogical press, the normative and guiding documents, between the 1940s and 1960s. The method of this study consists in analyzing the documentary sources of the period, tracing a dialogue with the historiography of the education of Paraná, therefore, a documentary diversity is used: the Revista de Pedagogia (1957-1966); the Regulation of Normal Schools of the Foundation of the Normal Teaching Organization (1955); the Regulation and Organization of Normal Education (1958); Report of the 2nd Semester of the Normal Teaching Service; several originals of Gonçalves’ CD-ROM (2016), documents concerning the Technical Assistance sector of the Normal Education Service. As main results and final considerations, it is identified that Pilotto, with the prescriptive feature of the Revista de Pedagogia, emphasizes the process of individualized teaching and the use of the files system. Facing a sctruture of expansion, precariousness and also the search for pedagogical innovation, Vidal creates mechanisms for the "modern" to internalize. These are initiatives of historical individuals that reverberated in new practices, in tune with the new educational times, in order to "modernize" the “sertão” of Paraná.
