Abstract: The text in question is a letter, a dialogue between a more experienced teacher and one that has just arrived to the classroom. It was inspired by a real situation of communication where, in fact, the unexperienced teacher asks the other guidelines to overcome the challenges she identifies at the beginning of her professional journey. Throughout the text, the teacher with more experience shares experiences and knowledge built along her training itinerary. To do so, she recovers contributions from authors who were decisive for her process of resignification as an educator. Throughout the dialogue, questions are presented related to the current educational model, closely linked to Instructionalism, that do not seem to correspond to the demands of the youth and that has cooperated to get them away from school. Also discussed are concepts aligned with Education for Freedom and Engaged Pedagogy, according to Freire (1991 and 1996) and Hooks (2013) proposals, Pedagogy of the Presence, by Costa (2001) and the teacher's perspective as a transformational intellectual, according to Giroux (1997).
