This article aims to get to know the teaching knowledge that is mobilized by Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) teachers in Higher Education. The profession of Libras teachers is relatively recent, and it came into existence in Brazil with the officialization of Libras as a language of communication and expression for Brazilian deaf people according to Law 10436/2002. Thus, researching teaching knowledge becomes important in qualifying the training of Libras teachers. Through a qualitative methodology it was possible to interview six Libras teachers working in Higher Education. The interviews were categorized by content analysis (BARDIN, 2016) for further interpretation. Authors such as Nóvoa (2009), Tardif (2014), and Cunha (2010) theoretically referred to the discussions about teaching in Libras. As a result, the data showed the different origins of this knowledge which have been established since entering school as students and developing throughout life. Furthermore, it indicated the temporality of training and professional development, as a continuous process, and the importance of collective work and the exchanges between peers as a device of significant training.
