Abstract

The article examines the school as a formative space for teachers, highlighting the role of subjectivity, collaborative practices, and autobiographical narratives in shaping the teaching career. A critical literature review is used, based on authors such as Dominicé, Josso, Nóvoa, and Imbernón, and is linked to formative experiences lived by the authors. The study advocates valuing the school as a locus for knowledge production and proposes school-centered training as an alternative to traditional models. It concludes that teacher education should be continuous, situated, reflective, and grounded in lived experience, enabling connections between universities and schools, and strengthening professional identity through dialogical and investigative practices.

Keywords: school; teacher education; life stories; collaborative partnerships.
