Abstract

Treatment to the handicap has undergone many phases, since segregation, going through integration overture until the so called Inclusive Education came along, which strengthened primarily since the Salamanca Declaration. The implementation of the Inclusive Education depends on various factors, amongst which the student board stands out. In this perspective, the objective of this study is to analyze the Inclusive Education Implementation Policy in the County Education System of Anapolis in the early years of Elementary school, as well as the Continued Preparation of Teachers to act in The Inclusive Overture. It is also intended to elucidate the main legislations relative to inclusive education on an international, national and countywide scale, as well as discovering the condition considered necessary for the inclusive implementation, to discuss the role of the teacher in their preparation, analyzing how this preparation has been occurring in relation to the teachers of the 1st and 5th grade of the county education of Anapolis. The methodology used can be described as an exploratory research that involved a bibliographic gathering of the subject studied, and data collecting through questionnaires, documental analyses and strategic methodology of the focal group. 1st to 5th grade Elementary teachers of 15 model schools of Inclusive Education in Anapolis, which corresponds to a total of 50% of this school type, participated in the research, not to mention the teacher of Special Educational Services of the same schools. It is suggested that everyone assumes their responsibility as to the effectiveness of inclusive education, leaving in to public authorities to guarantee the adequate conditions to the implementation, amongst which include the adaptation of the physical structure, adequate didactic material and real conditions of teacher preparation to work with diverse cases. On the other hand, teachers also need to invest in their own formation, seeking to upgrade their knowledge not only through courses, but by reading up to date material about the subject and exchange information with colleagues. The County Secretary of Education has promoted some preparation courses for teacher focusing on Inclusive Education, but this has not been enough to attend to the necessities of teacher preparation.
