The purpose of this paper is to present questions concerning the profession of the deaf educator, examining the legislation, especially regarding the employment relationship, because many deaf professionals, trained and qualified as teachers, are hired as instructors. To problematize the expression “Libras instructor”, attributed to deaf professionals who teach Libras, we have analyzed public tenders that bring in their text the expression “deaf instructor”. We defend the autonomy of the teacher in his pedagogical practices, anchored in a specific formation and we emphasize the need to differentiate the terms “Libras instructor” and “teacher”, to value the teaching work and, above all, to give visibility and space to the deaf teacher.
