Abstract

Taken the inclusion as a complex social phenomenon that essentially depends on both planning and  capacitating of the involved agents, the present work had as its main objective the establishment of  conditions that could allow the members of a public elementary school to present attitudes that could  turn the school environment an inclusive one. In order to do this, technical orientations were planned and provided to the pedagogic coordinator and 16 teachers during the HTPC (Horário de Trabalho Pedagógico Coletivo - Collective Pedagogic Work Time). Among the involved teachers, four had students that presented special educational needs, so that it was developed some actions to be taken in the classroom in order to involve all of the students in the class activities. In addition, during the parents’ meetings, which occur every two months, orientations were provided to the parents of the special needs students. The procedures used to implement the established actions were meetings for technical orientation and participating observations in the classroom. The main results are related to less segregating and more inclusive attitudes by the community school members. The results stress the idea that a school planning is necessary in order to increase the probability of success of the inclusion  process in the elementary educational system.

Keywords: inclusion; special education needs; school planning; elementary public school.
