Políticas públicas como instrumento de valorização docente no Brasil

This study presents concepts and models of typologies, cycles and analyzes of educational public policies, taking into account the political scenario and the historical and political context in which they are created and implemented, having as a starting point the 1988 Federal Constitution of Brazil and as final milestone of the 2016 coup d'etat discussion. It is a documentary research that is part of the field of policy discussions. The study highlights that the PNE and the National Curriculum Guidelines for Initial and Continuing Education for Basic Education Teachers can be alternatives to intermediate actions that encompass different aspects of basic education professionals. The valorization of these professionals must be guided by a policy based on some fundamental pillars that include training, remuneration, career and working conditions. This requires commitment from the government and organized society in the different spheres of governance within the spheres of the federated entities.
