Due to the complexities and challenges that teaching is facing nowadays, teachers’ continuous and permanent training is a social need to promote an improvement in education.

It was carried out differently in the way of facing the teachers and their relationship with knowledge.

In order to do so, the policies related to the teachers´ training during the 90s and 2000s have been analyzed and explained, together with the main training pedagogic methods of each period. It is acknowledged that the “professional growth” perspective comes of a powerful method to improve and enrich the practice of those who teach, the corresponding training mechanisms are presented to work in those moments.
