This study entitled “Perceptions about permanent teacher training in an inclusive perspective: a study in the Municipal Network of Salvador” aims to investigate how the ongoing training of teachers and managers in the municipal network of Salvador has been taking place with a focus on educational inclusion. To achieve this objective, semi-structured interviews were conducted with teachers and managers from several schools in the municipal network of Salvador. The method used to treat the data obtained was phenomenological, with an emphasis on Bicudo (1994, 2003, 2011), among others. Through the reports of the research subjects it is possible to perceive that the initial, continued and in-service training has been insufficient to improve the pedagogical practices for teaching students target audience of Special Education. Nevertheless, the research gives clear evidence that experiential knowledge and the exchange of information and knowledge have contributed to the professional development of teachers.
