School inclusion: principles and strategies to make it possible

Abstract

This article describes that in an inclusive school are attended – loved and valued- all the children whatever are their personal caracteristics, not only inside the school, but in the same class. However inclusion can bring different kind of problems, or “non desirable effects”, that we must try to counteract. We are thinking for example on fear of parents and teachers, the increase of conflicts or inapropiate behaviour of other students, difficulties to adapt the curriculum to all children that are different,... We talk about the general principles to work in an inclusive approach in the school and we anounce the strategies that can be followed. We talk also about all the challenges that brings school inclusion.
