Inclusive schools and classrooms. A bet for shared educational projects

Abstract

This theoretical article presents the key considerations that any educational professional should take into account in order to facilitate the development of more inclusive schools and classrooms. For that purpose, coming from the available literature mainly within the European context, the highlights of a shared educational project are described, stressing the educational community participation, the reorganization of the spaces, educational services and curriculum and the ethical values that inclusion should be based on. After a theoretical presentation, outstanding examples of educational projects and practices that foster the development of more inclusive spaces are collected. The Learning Communities project is a proposal for educational transformation that, within the framework of dialogic learning, promotes successful educational activities such as interactive groups, extension of learning time, dialogic literary circles and the participation of families and other community members, among others.
