Contribution
This paper is focused on the types of participation of families and community members in those successful practices. Community participation in schools involved different approaches, degrees of participation and opportunities that needed to be further explored because some forms of participation are more related to educational success than others. Through the study presented in this symposium, we have identified 4 inclusive practices which involve family and community participation in successful centres with low SES and students with minority background: family education, participation in decision-making processes, participation in classrooms and learning spaces, and participation in evaluation and in the curriculum. After the first two rounds of the case studies, it is showed that there are these specific forms of participation as well as the emergence of new research questions to study in depth the specific improvements which each one of these form of community and family participation causes in the school.
