Abstract
This paper discusses the contributions of the academic debate on four dimensions related to teacher policies in Brazil: attractiveness, training, retention and evaluation. Starting from a review of works that address these dimensions, often individually or without a relationship with each other, the aim is to highlight the main problems to be resolved by public policies driven to teachers in order to improve the educational quality. The paper is divided into six parts: an introduction, which presents the importance of the teacher’s issue and the challenges imposed by it on public policy; and four sections in which attractiveness, training, retention and evaluation of teachers are analyzed, respectively. The main challenges to be equated to overcome the problems discussed are synthesized at the end of the paper.
