To analyze this public policy we have used data based on the survey of the proficiency average scores in Portuguese and Math, and also the School Performance Index (IDE) reached by the schools on the 5th grade participants of Premio Escola Nota Dez on the period of 2011 to 2015, that were analyzed qualitatively. As research instruments semi structured questionnaires were applied to managers defined according to the chosen criteria for the study. The results of this study show that sharing successful experiences among award-winning and supported schools through technicalpedagogical cooperation is positive in the Grade Ten School Award, but deserves improvement in some respects. The difficulty in implementing the technical-pedagogical cooperation actions observed in the research extends to the planning and elaboration of the pedagogical intervention plan, the processes for resource allocation, the need to prepare schools to work in partnership, distance between schools, the delay in the transfer of resources, among other issues that are pointed out in this dissertation. The Escola Nota Dez Award is a consolidated initiative in the state of Ceará and over the years has indicated that it is an example to be followed by other policies regarding the autonomy of the institutions involved and the dissemination of successful practices.
