The study's objective was to contribute to pre-service and in-service teacher education. A qualitative exploratory design was used individual and group interviews were conducted, and analysis showed that teachers refer to four aspects of students living in poverty: their limited views and expectations; homogeneous views; tensions concerning pedagogical knowledge and teacher identity; and cultural differences. The conclusion is that the main barrier is related to teachers' beliefs, which exert pressure on the cultural encounter of the school and the students' contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
