This reflective paper stems from the research entitled “The construction of the professional identity of elementary school students”. I intend to review the way in which narrative research is contributing to the construction of teaching practice, based on the review of the school narrative that teaching professionals are producing in the context of neoliberal moral. The paper highlights how the contingent and historical character of the construction of reality, through the story we make out of it, questions the dominant neoliberal ideology in training and teaching practice.
