The present article aims to analyze the formation of the teachers for the higher education and its relations with the diversity of teaching as a professional practice. The theme has been, slowly, questioned in the debate and ethics pedagogical and institutional practice. The teaching in the higher education is an undertaking that articulates different possibili- ties and demands pedagogical formation. I carry out a brief reading of the terms forma- tion and teaching and presents an argument in favor of the nature and characteristics of the teaching, leaving show through an issue of diversity. To propose a start point for the formative process I chose six facets of the teaching that gave origin to this article, from the observations achieved in the lectures in the graduation courses, in the area of health. I conclude defending the temptation of the construction of some formative principles such as: the teaching represents an amalgam marked by public policies, considers the diversity, and is a social practice contextualized.
