This study aims to discuss the forming elements of the teaching profession history, in the 192030s, based on the organization of the first normal school in the city of Montes Claros, located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is placed within the scope of Cultural History, and used the newspaper Gazeta do Norte as documentary source and the magazine Revista do Ensino to capture the local harmony with the proposed discussions in Minas Gerais. The study highlights the role of normal schools for teacher training, the clash between technical training and general education, and self-denial and guilt as fundamentals of teaching. It emphasizes that Montes Claros adheres to the program proposed in Minas, defends teaching as a priestly function and normal education as a technical activity.

Keywords : Teaching profession; History; Normal School; Teacher training.
