How Will the Selection Process Work?
The selection for the specialization course will be rigorous, ensuring that only the most qualified candidates are approved.
UFRB has formed a specialized committee to evaluate the candidates, who will be ranked based on a detailed analysis of the following criteria:
Candidate’s Academic Background (up to 15 points) — The educational qualifications of each candidate will be taken into consideration, and it is essential that the candidates have the appropriate training for the course.
Teaching Experience in the Last 5 Years (up to 30 points) — The practical experience of each educator in the classroom will be a determining factor for approval.
Proven Teaching Activity in 2025 (20 points) — The selection will prioritize teachers who already have contracts signed to teach in the year 2025.
Statement of Intent, Highlighting the Candidate’s Objectives (35 points) — Candidates will need to write a letter explaining their motivations to participate in the course and how they plan to apply the knowledge gained in their pedagogical practice.
After the scoring, candidates will be classified in descending order, respecting the distribution of spots by UAB/CAPES poles and the modalities of reserved spots.
The evaluation will consider each teacher’s potential to apply the methodologies acquired in the course in their schools, thereby promoting quality and transformative education.
How to Enroll?
Enrollment for the selection process must be done exclusively online by March 10, 2025. Interested candidates should access the Integrated System for Academic Activity Management (SIGAA) to fill out the enrollment form and submit the documents required in the announcement.
