One of the most discussed subjects, when it comes to our country's social improvement, is the quality of education. Society demands from governmental institutions, actions that help Brazilian students performance. From that point of view, on the governmental spheres (federal, state and municipal), many actions are taken to please social demands. One of those actions concerns teachers training, both initial and continual. Because of our line of work, related to continuous teacher training, we entertained the idea of planning a teacher training meeting. Specifically, the objective of the present study was to investigate if the elaboration of guide lines for a training model for Portuguese Language teachers, made by themselves, at the local state schools in São Paulo could be beneficial to these teachers' performance. The decision to focus on teacher training, despite being a central theme in a significant number of studies, has arisen from our findings that, with few exceptions, teachers seldom participate in the elaboration of their own training programs. We believe that if a group of teachers could themselves be responsible for developing teacher training guide lines designed for a sustained training course, new perspectives on teacher training could well emerge, as a result of the understanding of these perspectives that teachers would contribute to teaching training in general. In this sense, based on the findings of the current study, new parameters for the elaboration of courses and teacher training could emerge. To this end, a group of teachers offered to devise training guide lines at a teacher's meeting, with the objective of creating their own training program, working along side their respective mentors. For the current investigation, we shall take the concept of Socio-discursive Interactionism as the theoretic and methodological framework (Bronckart,1999,2004;Bulea,2010),as well as arrange of studies published in Brazil (Lousada,2006; Abreu-Tardelli,2006; Machado, 2007; Gomes, 2011; Barricelli, 2012; Dantas-Longhi, 2013), together with concepts that are discussed in the studies from the Activity Clinic (Clot,1999;2001) and the Activity Ergonomics (Amigues,2004;Saujat,2004). These different lines of theory allow for the understanding, through language analysis, of the dilemmas that teachers encounter at work. The results of the analyses of texts that referred to teachers' performance, as considered by the group, in discussions surrounding the drafting of training guide lines, brought forth a range of perspectives on the role of teaching. We consider that having a clear object for investigation favors the debate on different dimensions of teaching, since it encourages a didactic approach, provoking reflections, questions and changes in perspective regarding forms of teaching, planning activities, managing the classroom space, using available materials. The current investigation also aims to illustrate that from the moment that the teachers become the protagonists of their own training program, we are setting precedents for the teachers' mentors to face up to the challenge of imparting professional skills in a collective manner, thus strengthening their position in their own métier
