Resumo: The actions on Environmental Education (EE) cover the process of building values, competences, attitudes and skills in favor of environmental conservation. At school, teachers play an important role in decision-making, planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating projects focused on environmental issues. Considering that the literature points out the need to support teachers to work with EE and the lack of studies that describe teacher orientation work in this area, the present study aimed to describe an intervention with teachers related to the planning and application of EE. The main goal of this research was to evaluate the effects of an orientation program on the planning and application of Environmental Education projects with public school teachers. The data collection followed the following steps: 1) preliminary procedures, in which, at the first contact with the teachers, the objectives of the research were explained and those invited to participate; 2) EE projects planning, in which the orientation program was applied and the teachers elaborated their own projects; 3) monitoring the application and evaluation of the EE projects, in which the teachers applied the projects with their classes of students; 4) evaluation of the orientation program, where a final meeting was held in which teachers evaluated the orientation program and reported the facilities and difficulties encountered in the implementation of the EE projects and presented suggestions for their improvement; 5) follow-up, after the closure of the orientation program to verify the continuity of the projects. Data were collected through records of observations of the school environment and surroundings, follow-up worksheets, field diary and photographic records. Results pertaining to the plans indicated mastery of most of its steps by teachers. In relation to the applications of the projects, positive changes were registered in the environment of the school and its surroundings, as well as improvement in students' behavior regarding themselves and the conservation of the environment. Teachers also assessed the orientation program positively. The follow-up showed that most teachers continued to work on EE projects, although some of them have stopped using follow-up worksheets. This research showed that in a relatively short time and with few financial resources, it is possible to motivate teachers to develop systematic actions of EE in school, and a longer follow-up time is necessary in order to better ensure the maintenance of their behaviors.
