Book Description
The book describes the experience of Rafael Calderón-Almendros (the first person with Down syndrome to obtain a professional music degree in Spain) and his family. A confrontation arose with his school at the end of his compulsory secondary education stage. After Rafael had been a student in the centre from the start of his education, the institution lost its vision and denied the student his rights. The school used concealed segregation strategies, legitimized by the institution and its professionals, which were almost insurmountable. However, Rafael’s family embarked on a process of Action Research, began to fight for the recognition of the right for all students to obtain a formal education. This research shows how critical analyses were born from the experiences of a representative of one of the most disadvantaged groups (disabled people), which have been rigorously recorded and evidenced. From an inclusive, engaged and radical perspective, the text presents a solid case of someone outside the able-dominated average completing his education to a high professional standard. His success is endorsed by subsequent events: Rafael passed his compulsory secondary education, the equivalent of the English Baccalaureate and his Elementary and Professional Grades of Music (ten years). He obtained the Gold Medal of Merit in Education of Andalusia and the World Down Syndrome Day Award. He was admitted to the prestigious Academy of Orchestral Studies Barenboim-Said. Rafael has nothing else to prove. Today, his example challenges many of the usual school practices and urges us to rethink the commitment of educators in stimulating the participation of the entire school community, in promoting student autonomy and the recognition of others in their human and social rights.

Book Description
Hemos construido la pedagogía al margen de las personas para las que se dirige. Las políticas educativas se centran ahora en grandes cifras, extraídas de enormes herramientas estadísticas omnipresentes a lo largo y ancho del planeta, que comparan realidades radicalmente diferentes y desiguales sin ningún pudor. Como respuesta a esta realidad y de forma casi residual, se han ido creando en las últimas décadas estudios que buscan «dar voz» a quienes no la tienen.Sin embargo, todas las personas tienen voz, aunque algunas no han sido oídas mínimamente. Por tanto, el primer paso para estudiar sus realidades es reconocer sus voces y el valor de lo que dicen. En el fracaso escolar, por ejemplo, algo tendrán que decir quienes lo sufren?

Book Description
This collection explores ways in which theories of space and place can be used in understanding processes of exclusion and inclusion in education. The contributions foreground how the ‘spatial turn’ and geographical knowledges can inform: debates on the relationships between learning, space and place understandings of the ways in which space and place affect education and learning ‘familiar’ research agendas through the application of conceptual perspectives from different disciplines The ten chapters which make up this book are by contributors from Australia, Italy and the United Kingdom who draw, in very different ways, on spatial theory as a means of exploring processes of inclusion and exclusion in education. Each one of the authors not only seeks to challenge growing orthodoxies in their respective field but is interested in cross-disciplinarity and spatial theory in education. This book provides key readings for experienced and beginning teachers studying for bachelors, masters and research degrees or professional qualifications. It will be particularly useful to equality and diversity post-holders, lecturers, researchers and policy makers working in all education establishments which take issues of inclusion seriously. The international content of the diverse papers in Space, Place and Inclusive Learning will be of interest not only to those practising in the United Kingdom but to educationists working in other countries who seek to understand how space and place modulate opportunities for inclusion. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Inclusive Education.

Book Description
En el primer capítulo presentamos los diferentes modelos o perspectivas de la discapacidad. La forma en que vemos a las personas con discapacidad suele determinar cómo (re)actuamos con ellas, cómo interactuamos (o no), cómo convivimos (o no). Es más bien en los últimos años cuando aparece una legislación que regula el derecho a la inclusión de las personas con discapacidad, y este es el tema del segundo capítulo. El tercer capítulo ofrece una visión de cómo puede producirse la inclusión. Analizamos la inclusión como un proceso de transición del “cambio educativo” y estudiamos cómo crearlo. En el cuarto capítulo presentamos algunas herramientas concretas que son útiles en esa transición. El quinto capítulo ofrece una visión general de la legislación sobre la educación inclusiva y la situación en los países socios del proyecto PINC. En el último capítulo nos planteamos la pregunta “¿funciona realmente la inclusión?”.

Book Description
This book provides an innovative and thought-provoking analysis of the policy of integrazione scolastica from an inclusive perspective. Drawing on historical and empirical research methods the book arises out of an ethnographic study, which investigates the extent to which the policy of integrazione scolastica can be considered an inclusive policy. The author poses two fundamental questions: why are there episodes of micro-exclusion and discrimination against disabled pupils still taking place in regular schools after more than 30 years have passed since the enactment of such a progressive policy? Can the policy of integration lead to the development of inclusion in Italy? The research findings presented in the book indicate that exclusion and discrimination towards disabled pupils in education do not result from a lack of implementation of the policy at a school level, rather from the perpetuation of dominant discourses, which construct disability as an individual deficit. The book does not deny the progress made in the country following the application of this anti-discriminatory policy; rather it challenges the hegemonic abilist culture and the traditional perspectives of disability and schooling that undermine the development of inclusive education. After having investigated the theoretical premises of the policy of integration, the author argues that this progressive policy is still rooted in a special needs education paradigm and that what was once a liberating policy has been transformed into a hegemonic tool which still manages, controls and normalizes disability leaving school settings and teaching and learning routines unchanged. She finally argues for a human rights approach for the development of an inclusive school for the 21st century. The book is an essential reading for academics, policy makers, researchers and students involved in education as it links ideological pressures to practical analyses.

Book Description
¿Alumnas y alumnos con discapacidades deben estar continuamente en aulas ordinarias o solo parte del tiempo? ¿La solución para la educación de estudiantes con muy diversas diferencias es la escuela ordinaria, la especial o ambas? La educación inclusiva se ha introducido en la política educativa de los gobiernos de todo el mundo. Determinadas organizaciones internacionales claves, como la UNESCO y la OCDE, declaran su compromiso con la Educación para todas y todos y con los principios y prácticas de la educación inclusiva. Sin embargo, la educación inclusiva es muy discutida y genera intensos debates entre docentes, familias, grupos de investigación y responsables de la política educativa. La polémica sobre la naturaleza y el grado de la inclusión sigue viva. La escuela extraordinaria examina los fundamentos de las controversias actuales y afirma que seguir pensando en términos de "escuela ordinaria" y "escuela especial" obstaculiza el progreso hacia la educación inclusiva. Roger SLEE sostiene que tenemos que lograr una mejor comprensión de la exclusión, de los fundamentos de la división entre la educación ordinaria y la especial, y de la reforma escolar como precondición para una escolarización más inclusiva en el futuro. La escolarización debe ser un aprendizaje en democracia y la inclusión es un prerrequisito de una educación democrática. La escuela extraordinaria se basa en investigaciones, en numerosas innovaciones prácticas, en el análisis de las políticas educativas de diferentes países y en la bibliografía más actual para comprender de una manera más global los procesos de exclusión y, en consecuencia, apostar por una concepción más innovadora y decidida de la educación inclusiva y por un compromiso con una auténtica reforma escolar que deje de lado las antiguas divisiones entre escuelas ordinarias y escuelas especiales.
