In Chile, during the last years, a set of educational policies that promote collaboration among public educational institutions as a (key) factor for school improvement has been implemented. However, there are few studies that reveal the learning that it generates among the actors who participate in the network and that has repercussions in the different areas of the educational communities. This study aims to identify which learnings were possible to generate in this Catholic education network in Chile, as of the collaborative instances carried out by school managers. A case study with a qualitative approach is carried out by collecting data through semi-structured individual interviews, focus groups and meeting observations. The results obtained reinforce the idea that working in network contributes to the creation of both a culture and a learning community, enhancing people’s sense of belonging to the institution. It is concluded that when bonds of trust are generated among managers, sharing of experiences becomes possible and they become explicit learnings, which in many cases become strategies to facilitate the achievement of local and institutional goals, and most importantly, generating new knowledge, specific to the context.

Palabras clave : Educational leadership; Collaborative culture; Learning community; Collaborative bonds.
