Her doctoral research aims to analyze how teacher authorship strategies, context-based pedagogical practices, and peer learning communities contribute to the professional development of educators in the Brazilian Amazon, within the framework of the implementation of the Environmental, Sustainability, and Climate Education Policy in Pará. The goal is to propose guidelines for continuous teacher education in contexts of sociocultural diversity.
