REDES DE COLABORACIÓN ENTRE ESCUELAS INGLESAS PARA LA MEJORA DE LA INCLUSIÓN SOCIOEDUCATIVA

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review how schools can overcome barriers to be more inclusive. Further this work examines ways in which schools in the same geographical area can use networks of collaboration to achieve student diversity. Case studies from three English schools which have already established networks with other schools are presented. Data has been collected by interviewing, leadership teams, teachers, administrative staff and researchers. This data has been analyzed using Atlas.ti 7 software. The findings indicate that schools need, among other things: a) to have a political support to develop inclusion inside and outside of the classrooms, b) to create networks with neighbouring schools for sharing experiences and resources and c) to open their gates to the local community for a better use of social capital.
