The purpose of this article is to present the results of a self-study about my own political-pedagogical practice in the USA, between 2004 and 2016, teaching the course Paulo Freire and Education for Social Justice in graduate programs in education in that country. The beginning of this experience at University of Wisconsin-Madison – including the very first day of class – is presented in a little more detail. In addition, there is also an overview about how these courses were developed in these 13 years in the US, emphasizing planning and evaluation. Finally, following methodological guidelines, I present a summary of the main learnings taken from this experience and their influences on changes in my ways of being a teacher educator.
