This paper shows the results of the research project Cultural Difference in Schools: Teacher Narratives. It was conducted by the Equity and Diversity in Education Research Group, conformed by teachers from the universities Francisco Jose de Caldas and Pedagogica Nacional. The ideas in this paper focus around the stories of teachers on their childhood memories associated with difference. The way those experiences have permeated their relationship with the otherness and processes of re-signification in their lives as teachers has allowed them to advance in the construction of their pedagogical bettings, practices, and knowledge about cultural difference.
