1. INTRODUCTION
Development
and
improvement
are
two
characteristics involved in education and they
are the reason to present this proposal. The idea is
to create a small group of teachers in a primary
public school and take 40 hours per year on
teaching/learning contents pertinent to review or
find out essential concepts for education
achievements and be better as teachers and
learners.
This proposal must be supported by universities or
institutions authorized, year by year, to deliver
knowledge that helps education community to
get new levels of competences.

2. JUSTIFICATION
This proposal has reachable objectives as to go
over pragmatic teaching/learning knowledge, to
share scientific contents, to practice a critical
school, to evaluate and correct the path, to
admit the social responsibility
given to
education and teachers´ commitment of guiding
young people to become knowledge owners.
To improve academically for a community
means to ensure a better future. Equally, to
improve spiritually for a community means to
ensure justice and peace.

4. ANALYSIS
It can be a good putting in scene if the
development of the proposal is done according
reflected thoughts and based on community
analysis of what is done in/out schools and what
can be improved to generate new attitudes
towards education through languages that
affect messages and perhaps philosophies of
live.
The proposal can result huge taking into
account the content of the proposed subjects
included to be studied during this teachers´
professional development event but the
message is education is a long term
theory/practice teaching/learning process with
an important sociopolitic impact into society.

5. CONCLUSIONS
Women and men are immersed in education
and culture. So, women and men work through
strategies, intellectual events, look for autonomy
and dispositions that set principles to build
academic meetings to share information and
structure education and social environment in
benefit of a society that expects permanent
evaluation as a way to reflect the scholar life
and people´s mood, attitudes and aptitudes.
Education, as a social phenomenon, is a current
issue for teachers and learners and it has to be
developed together in community into justice
and peace.
