We are documenting Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) through different resources with the goal of making available Libras videos and annotations for research and educational purposes. The main objective is to systematize the data and data search tools in Libras in a public way with open access. This has empowered Libras in all states of Brazil (QUADROS et al., 2016, 2019). For this documentation, in addition to the Libras corpus and other materials, we are establishing educational interfaces for the teaching of Libras as a second language. All these components integrate the Libras Portal (UFSC, 2020).  In this paper, we will show Libras Teaching Levels, that were inspired by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (COUNCIL OF EUROPE, 2001).  We also analyzed the organization of the European Framework for Sign Languages - ProSign (LEESON et al., 2016). The goal of this project is to make available the descriptions of the levels of second language proficiency in Libras to offer a reference for all the forty Libras Teaching Programs spread out around the country. Also, there will be available video classes, planned and presented by deaf sign language teachers, that may be used by Libras teachers as a base to plan their own classes. This paper shows the development of this project, which is being designed to be open access, available in the new version of the Libras Portal.
