3 1. PORTUGUESE CPD GUIDELINES  We need sensitive school communities that understand the diversity of personal, linguistic, cultural, social, ethnic and other differences as a human reality and not as a problem.  We need well prepared schools to deal with this pluralism with: a strategic curricular plan of intercultural education; CPD programmes centred on educational practice.

4  It was necessary to re-set, from the theoretical and methodological point of view, the models and practices of CPD according to: a new paradigm of personal and professional development different from a paradigm of technical rationality; new alternative methodologies (focused on teaching practice, strategies, experiences and stories) different from traditional models of teacher training (focused on teaching contents). 4
