“To talk about education is to talk about inclusion, happiness, passion, innovation, emotion, research, creativity, cooperation, rights, justice, and vocation. We cannot talk about happiness or innovation without considering inclusion because without inclusion, there is neither happiness nor innovation\u201d<\/p>\n

Inclusion is an enshrined right in the legislation of our country and international legislation. The UN (United Nations) approved the Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities<\/a> <\/span>(CRPD) in 2006, and our government ratified it in 2008. In the 74 points of ARTICLE 24 on inclusive education, everything related to inclusion is clearly stated.<\/p>\n

Everyone has the right to the best education<\/h3>\n

To build an inclusive education and school, we must transform the obsolete educational system we have today, based on \u201cmodels and practices\u201d of the 18th century. As all people have the right to a good education, a change of outlook and educational practices is required considering all their abilities and competencies and having all the opportunities and possibilities to be first-class citizens in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Is everybody in society very clear about inclusion, integration, and their significant differences? From my experience, I can say that the answer is no. Most of the time, both terms are often used as synonyms. Therefore, it is urgent and necessary to learn and be very clear about these differences to know precisely what we are talking about when referring to inclusion and inclusive education.<\/p>\n

What is co-teaching?<\/h3>\n

When speaking of shared teaching as a fundamental pillar of inclusive education, it is about teamwork. When providing excellent attention to diversity. The mere fact of two or more people (teachers, experts, etc.) working in the same classroom space is not shared teaching if they are not working as a team.<\/p>\n

A cohesive team of teachers is much more powerful and capable of proposing changes and developing more systematic and lasting innovations. It is easier to reorient educational practices change attitudes and values in the teaching staff when the team has common goals and shares the same objectives. It also favours the quality of teaching.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Teamwork between teachers, students, specialists, and the educational community is essential in shared teaching. It establishes a solid basis for cooperation that favours attention to diversity.<\/p>\n

Implementing shared teaching in an educational centre requires a firm and decisive commitment to quality education. The necessary transformations to carry it out are profound, as the centre\u2019s organisation must contemplate it. The teaching staff must assume it and actively participate in it.<\/p>\n

When it comes to shared teaching, there are some facilitators to be considered:<\/p>\n
