En la actualidad, atender a la diversidad del alumnado de un centro es proporcionar una respuesta adecuada y personalizada de todos y cada uno de los alumnos del mismo, en función de sus necesidades educativas, y no solo de los que están adscritos a determinados programas. Esa atención se ha convertido en la esencia misma de la actividad docente, por lo que conocer cuáles son sus necesidades y dar respuesta a las mismas, poniendo en práctica las medidas necesarias en cada caso, es el reto más importante al que se enfrenta diariamente el profesorado. Esa es la razón que explica que uno de los documentos más importantes de un centro sea el Plan de atención a la diversidad, ya que debe recoger el conjunto de medidas, ordinarias y extraordinarias, que el centro ha contemplado para atender a la diversidad de todos sus alumnos. Ante este enorme reto profesional, el centro educativo en general y cada profesor en particular deben saber qué hacer, por qué deben hacerlo y cómo hacerlo. Por ello, y en un intento de ayudar al profesorado, presentamos este libro que, además de aportar algunos elementos teóricos indispensables, proporciona al profesorado criterios, pautas y materiales para diseñar y abordar la respuesta educativa a la diversidad educativa de sus alumnos. En sus páginas, los equipos directivos encontrarán modelos abiertos para organizar y diseñar la forma en que el centro atiende a la diversidad de su alumnado; y los profesores, materiales e instrumentos de gran utilidad para favorecer la personalización de los procesos educativos de sus alumnos.
