This paper describes some features of the teachers that make up five municipal education networks of Ceará, selected by intentional sample, and identifies how the policies of continuing education for teachers are implemented in these municipalities: Fortaleza, Limoeiro do Norte, Maracanaú, Sobral and Canindé. Data from 2018 School Census provided by Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira were used, and material was collected from the education secretaries and school principals through a semistructured interview held in 2018. The results show that there are still challenges related to initial training, the adequacy of teacher training presents low percentage values ​​in all municipalities and the indicators of effort and teacher regularity point to excessive workload by teachers and high turnover, including aspects within the school network itself. Continuing education initiatives are proposed mainly by municipal education department, with content aimed at reconciling school curriculum and the pattern of large-scale external evaluations; the accomplishment of monitoring is differentiated according to the specificities of each municipality; the training actions are well accepted by most teachers and, although discontinuous, there are incentives to graduate.
