This analysis is the result of academic work linked to the graduate program in education with the line of research on intercultural education. In this perspective, it was entitled Professional Identity of the Teacher who works in the Multifunctional Resource Room: a study from an indigenous school in Roraima, with the objective of analyzing the process of building the professional identity of the teacher of the multifunctional resource room who works in the context of the indigenous school in Roraima (RR). The research was carried out in partnership with a group of teachers and heads of divisions of the State Secretariat of Education and Sport (SEED), with a qualitative approach, which included bibliographic research, interviews and document analysis. In this section we will present fragments of the results and discussions focusing on: profile of special education teachers working in the indigenous school, interpretative analysis of the idea of difference in diverse social contexts and specialized educational assistance as an inclusion process: school and indigenous students. It is observed that the identity of the special education professional who works in the indigenous school is constituted of elements arising from the personal, collective context and the educational experience, however, the culture of each indigenous teacher must be considered. Noting that the teachers who work in the multifunctional resource room at the indigenous school from the perspective of inclusion, amid difficulties, insecurity and yearnings, feel unprepared to exercise full articulation for the inclusion of students with educational needs specials in the school ambience.

Keywords : teacher; professional identity; special education; inclusion.
