Discussions concerning Environmental Education (EE) arise every day all over the world. In this sense, the school environment has been seen as privileged for the sustainable environment awareness. This work aims at examining the experience of the Environmental Education Program Lagoa Viva, concerning teacher training. To this end, we carried out a comparative study of the pedagogical practices of teachers who did not attend training for Environmental Education (Block I), sponsored by the Program cited above, as well as actions of teachers who joined such a training (Blocks I and II). In the latter group, some schools were considered notable in developing their projects. Regarding the implementation of EA in the schools, teachers in blocks II and III could result better than the Block I. The themes of the draft EA for teachers in the block I was mostly very general and did not involve the community surrounding the schools, while the blocks II and III were more relevant and more realistic place. Teachers of the blocks II and III showed a higher percentage of involvement in the projects of EA compared to the block I. It was verified as the analysis reveals that, despite undergoing the process of training (Blocks II and III), some teachers are still struggling to develop an interdisciplinary way, shares of EA in schools, however, this difficulty was more present in Block I. The teachers know little about the contents of EA included in the PPP of the school, but the blocks II and III proved to be a little more attentive to this issue. The teachers cited the three blocks, lack of resource material / financial support and lack of direction as the main difficulties in implementing the EA in schools. From this study, it was possible to observe, as the analysis shows, that despite having undergone training process, some teachers are still struggling to develop, in an interdisciplinary way, Environmental Education actions in schools. On the other hand, the analysis also showed that teachers' participation in the process of preparation of environmental educators, enabled the socialization of school projects, dialogue and a significant interaction among the units of instruction, specifically with regard to effective communication among different areas of expertise. These moments of reflection, not always possible within the school environment, contributed to the sensitization and mobilization, particularly by teachers, for the need to implement environmental education in schools.
