This book addresses issues related to school inclusion from the perspective of systemic inclusion. It focuses on the need to face the challenges of inclusion in education from a broad perspective, including the classroom, the school as an institution, families, and the community. It also pays attention to the full interactions between them. The book demonstrates how inclusion can be carried out in very real, concrete and everyday ways. It also shows how researchers can work hand in hand with the professionals and other stakeholders who are developing their practices day by day. The book draws on a range of research projects of the Spanish and international research groups to provide both rich theoretical frameworks and rigorous research outcomes related to the four dimensions of the systemic inclusion perspective and its necessary networking: classroom, school, families and the community. Most of the chapters take Spain as the case study but, far from being a local book, it uses Spanish analysis to dialogue universally with current main debates and challenges in inclusion, almost 30 years after the Salamanca Statement.

This book deals with the evolution of initiatives connected to the social and solidarity economy and their political cultures and educational implications in the south of Europe and in Latin America. Employing a comparative perspective, the contributors present 11 studies of these trajectories in Argentina, Chile, Portugal, France, Italy, Spain, and Catalonia in order to engender familiarity with social tributary practices and projects in the Latin world. As the cyclical crises of capitalism and their resulting inequalities have created proposals of reform and brought them into action, certain shared ideological influences and policies have emerged across these societies. Faced with the interpretative schemes used for the Anglo-Saxon sphere, which have been the usual reference in international research, this volume’s geographical and cultural matrix of analysis helps fill a longstanding gap in this field. The book will be of interest to scholars, educators, and students specialising in the history and political science of the social and solidarity economy sectors, as well as professionals involved in cooperatives, mutual aid societies, and associations.

While many books explore the possibilities for developing inclusive practices in schools, and ‘inclusion’ is widely regarded as a desirable goal, much of the literature on the subject has been narrowly concerned with the inclusion of pupils with special educational needs. This book however, takes the view that marginalisation, exclusion and underachievement take many forms and affect many different kinds of child. As such, a definition of inclusion should also touch upon issues of equity, participation, community, entitlement, compassion, respect for diversity and sustainability. Here the highly regarded authors focus on: barriers to participation and learning experienced by pupils the practices that can overcome these barriers the extent to which such practices facilitate improved learning outcomes how such practices can be encouraged and sustained within schools and LEAs. The book is part of the Improving Learning series, published in partnership with the Teaching and Learning Research Project.

Este libro es producto de una tesis doctoral cuyo propósito fue comprender las experiencias de vida escolar de estudiantes en situación de discapacidad intelectual producidas en la intersección de la medicalización, la mercantilización y la inclusión como dispositivos pedagógicos en las escuelas actuales. El lector y la lectora encontrarán, descritas, diferentes escenas de aula que dan cuenta de las experiencias corporizadas de la vida escolar de los y las estudiantes participantes, desde dos aspectos: primero, el modo en que los espacios y los tiempos escolares demarcan realidades particulares, alimentan prácticas y construyen representaciones sobre «algunos» sujetos que tensionan sus realidades, al no acoplarse con la idea normativa del «ser estudiante»; segundo, la problematización de las categorías de estar y ser en la escuela, al identificar que los movimientos hacia la educación inclusiva en muchos casos se restringen a evidenciar la presencia de sujetos «diferentes» en las escuelas, mientras que en otros se logra percibir la ocupación por su existencia como responsabilidad ética requerida para cualquier proceso educativo.

This is the first English translation of the last book written by Paulo Freire. Pedagogy of Indignation delves ever deeper into the themes that concerned him throughout his life. The book begins with a series of three deeply moving reflective "pedagogical letters" to the reader about the role of education for one's development of self. He also speaks directly to the reader about the relationship to risk in one's life and he delves deeper than before into the daily life tensions between freedom and authority. Building on these interconnected themes, Freire sharpens our sense of the critical faculties of children and how a teacher may work with children to help them realize their potential intellectually and as human beings. Subsequent chapters explore these topics in relation to the wider social world: the social constitution of the self in the work of educators; critical citizenship; and the necessity of teaching "from a position" about the world that goes beyond literacy programs to include the legacy of colonialism in peoples' resistance movements today. The book's poignant interludes, written by Ana Maria Araujo Freire, reveal Paulo's thoughts about the content of this book as he was completing it during the last weeks and days of his life.

La exclusión social es un proceso que afecta a millones de personas en todo el mundo, tanto en países en desarrollo como en nuestras prósperas sociedades occidentales. Una obra básica para entender las concepciones que durante mucho tiempo -y todavía hoy-, han mantenido las prácticas de una educación escolar poco capaz de atender a la diversidad del alumnado y, por lo tanto, excluyente y de baja calidad para muchos alumnos y alumnas y para ayudar a los lectores a comprender, por otra parte, aquellos principios y prácticas educativas que pueden conducirnos paso a paso, hacia ese horizonte siempre en movimiento de una educación de calidad para todos, sin eufemismos ni exclusiones, hacia una educación más inclusiva.
