The COVID-19 pandemic caused a desolate scenario in education, but even with the serious impacts on the teaching-learning process and the psychological traumas in the entire school community caused by the social chaos generated by the virus, there was a sector of the ruling class that saw a window of opportunity to deepen its activities within the educational system, including the Península Institute (IP), the social arm of the Diniz family (founders of Grupo Pão de Açúcar and Península Participações). The present work will focus on the intervention in IP education during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the reproduction of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) booklet for teacher training, that is, on the construction of the “effective teacher”. This investigation will be based on documentary research, associated with the use of Gramscian theoretical instruments, supported by the studies of Aparecida de Fátima Tiradentes dos Santos and Lúcia Maria Wanderley Neves. We will analyze the application of the OECD program through research and technical notes produced by IP during the pandemic, in addition to extension courses and partnerships with Vivescer and in the pedagogy graduation at Instituto Singularidade, both organizations of the Península Group.
