In this article, Freire’s legacy in relation to professional teacher development for a decolonial education is discussed, taking as a reference the culture circle. With a qualitative and theoretical approach, this text has Freire as its main theorist and, thus, relates his ideas to those of authors who deal with teacher training and decoloniality, re-signifying them in a different teaching perspective. The investigation addresses decoloniality as a proposal to build a different future for the teaching profession and points to its proximity to Freire. It is proposed a professional teaching development that assumes cultural plurality as the basis for an effectively decolonial praxis. The Culture Circle is also discussed based on the reflexivity of the practice, highlighting it as a possibility for the development of critical awareness and the transformation of the teaching action. In summary, the research aims to strengthen the potency of Freire’s legacy to the professional teacher development for a decolonial education.
