Contribution
Our research project is about the relationship between family and school. Specifically, its objective is to locate, identify, describe, interpret, value and make visible “good practices” about family-school relationship of Special Educational Needs Students in public and ordinary school.
We think is important to value those experiences, with the purpose of using them as models that other families and school can learn from.
The final destination that we hope with this work is to be able to transfer to the Educational Community, to the Administration and, particularly, to mothers, fathers and teachers, a systematic description of the characteristics of the relationships between families and the school that act as facilitators of learning and school integration of their children and students. The purpose, therefore, is to learn from what is done well so that, based on this contrasted knowledge, we can improve relations between the family and the school in general.
