摘要:AbstractIn Spain, Teachers’ Centers (known as CEPs) constitute a kind of stable platform for the teamwork that teachers need, are managed in a democratic and participative manner, and supported by the Regional Administration. The process of educational decentralization meant that competences in this area were devolved to the autonomous communities. In the autonomous community of Andalusia, these centers are being empowered and their structure and functioning reformed in such a way that they have come to constitute key bodies for the lifelong learning of the teaching profession, and serving as intermediaries between the Regional Administration, the schools and the teachers.
