Abstract
Professional development in ICT for teachers, in addition to being necessary given the dynamic nature of technology, also improves the institutional quality of schools. This work, based on action research, provides evidence that the school itself is capable of organising and designing a training plan as part of a broader process to improve quality based on the incorporation of ICT. In turn, it addresses the pivotal elements of a training strategy that facilitates the transfer of that strategy to classroom activities and increases the quality of the school as an institution.Keywords
