In this study we aim at identifying school psychologists' actions together with public school teachers from João Pessoa, Northeastern Brazil. We considered that psychologists' actions with teachers can favor educational and learning processes and, therefore, can contribute to the mediation of interpersonal relations developed at school. With this goal, we interviewed twelve psychologists from public schools of the first phase of elementary school. The results demonstrated that psychologists who were interviewed act oriented by a clinical-based theory. However, we also got reports of professionals who promote actions such as projects and workshops, activities with pedagogical staff and interventions in classroom. The results reaffirmed the importance of a contextualized action developed by school psychologists and the need of a continuing education with teachers from a perspective of the competence development. This, we believe, can contribute to educational and learning processes.
