Free Course Is Offered in Distance Learning Mode, with In-Person Meetings
A total of 100 spots are available for the course, distributed between two teaching centers: 50 for IFSC Palhoça and another 50 for the Tubarão center.
The mode is Distance Education (EaD), but with biweekly in-person meetings, providing flexibility while also offering moments for face-to-face exchange and deeper content understanding.
The spots are exclusive to public education professionals, especially:
- Elementary education teachers from municipal, state, or federal networks;

- Educational support for students with disabilities in public schools.
The selection of participants will be made in order of registration, with priority for professionals with proven ties in 2025. Therefore, the earlier you register, the greater your chances of securing a spot.
Course Workload and Structure
The training has a total workload of 180 hours, covering topics such as:
- Fundamentals of inclusive education in Brazil;
- Disability studies and human rights;
- Pedagogical practices and curricular adaptations;
- Educational legislation and public policies;
- The role of AEE and support professionals.
The in-person meetings will take place at both IFSC centers — Palhoça and Tubarão — always biweekly, facilitating the reconciliation with the educators’ work routine.
The course is scheduled to start on May 27 and will be completed on December 23, 2025.
The training is entirely free of charge, with no enrollment or monthly fees.
Training for a More Equitable and Transformative Education
The course offered by IFSC is not merely a technical qualification. It is also an invitation to rethink pedagogical practices and build a fairer, more inclusive, and democratic education.
In times of diverse educational challenges, especially regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities, it is essential that educators are prepared to transform their classrooms into genuinely accessible and welcoming spaces.
According to area specialists, continuous training is essential to break down exclusionary paradigms that still persist in many schools.
Inclusion is not limited to enrolling students with disabilities; it requires planning, sensitivity, and technical knowledge.
Growing Demand for Training in Educational Inclusion
The search for courses focused on inclusive education has increased throughout Brazil.
According to data from the Ministry of Education, the number of enrollments of students with disabilities in the public network increased by more than 30% over the last decade, requiring increasing preparation from teachers and pedagogical teams.
In this context, courses like those offered by IFSC become essential tools to meet the demands of contemporary schools.
Free training with the support of federal institutions stands out for its quality and its real contribution to the development of basic education.
