Our team is thoughtful, listens carefully to the child and is open to their unexpectable actions. This attention allows us to rethink educational proposals, spaces and times, in order to respond to their needs. We focus on a child’s natural curiosity, exploring what motivates them. Each child leads its own development, with close support from the teacher. Knowing the child in action is essential to face the greatest challenge of participatory pedagogies: aligning children’s interests with educators’ intentions. This purpose is achieved through teamwork with the entire educational community.

The success of schools as quality learning and development environments depends, to a large extent, on their internal organisation and pedagogical practices. These are directly linked to the ongoing training of the entire team, both teaching and non-teaching staff.

Colégio Catarina de Bragança and Project To Be group invest in the comprehensive development of their team, through a Learning and Development Plan that includes all employees and covers several thematic areas.

The school annually carries out an internal Satisfaction Survey to gather the opinions and suggestions of employees, promoting the continuous improvement of processes and procedures.
