The professional identity of teachers is not inherent or fixed; it is complex and built from the social meaning we attribute to becoming a teacher. This premise guided us, in this article, to reflect on the concepts around the constitution of the teaching professional identity, resulting from the production of drawings prepared by elementary and high school students. The question that guided us was: which images are commonly related to the teaching work and how is the teachers 'professional identity constituted in the students' perception? We opted for exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, taking as a theoretical-empirical parameter, the bibliographic review and content analysis of the speeches expressed in the drawings prepared by the students. The analysis of the students 'productions revealed that the teachers' professional identity is understood by them in the relationship they establish in the classroom, marked by affection, access to knowledge, social and cultural traditions.

Keywords : Teaching Identity; Teacher Education; Teacher Professional Development.
