Professor Dr. Jaime Grinberg, Ph.D

Abstract
This paper discusses salient patterns in the history of teacher preparation, including tensions and institutional politics that influenced the programs' content, time, and quality, during the 1800s to the 2000s. A discussion of dominant institutional evolutions and changes, from normal schools to universities, analyzes and problematizes the disabling effects on the construction of teachers and teaching. Furthermore, the paper cautions about how such an impact carries on with the pathologization of practicing teachers and the consequences of framing teacher development.\ conceptualization and practices.
