Teacher professional performance is very important, as it concerns questions related to the improvement of the educational system and school success. In this sense, it is important to initiate the continuing learning of teachers and the creation of opportunities for professional learning in their working context by means of collaborative learning and the strengthening of relationships, knowledge and competencies. In the study carried out using a qualitative methodology nine interviews were conducted with teachers and members of the directorate of a group of schools in the north of Portugal, which later on were subjected to content analysis. The results of this analysis revealed that there were initiatives that facilitated collaborative learning and also factors that made it difficult for its development in the school context.
