ABSTRACT
This article discusses the impact of a Cultural and Pedagogical Residency Program (CPRP) on the professional identity of female early childhood education teachers. It uses two studies that collected teacher narratives through interviews, informal conversations, written reports, and focus groups. The analyses are organized around two resonances: recognition of the need and possibility for change; new pedagogical perspectives. It is concluded that the CPR contributed to the interrelation between theory and practice and awakened in the residents other ways of looking at, valuing and occupying the city with children.
