workshop in the city of General Villegas The workshop was held on 11 and 12 November at ADERID day. The call was heterogeneous: they came teachers of special schools and mainstream schools in urban and rural-level teachers, members of the Social Action area of \u200b\u200bthe Municipality, sheltered workshops and ADERID.
were two intense days of work. From the first morning there were two problem areas in relation to disability issues of concern those present. Throughout the workshop these issues were put on the table to discuss and identify its nuances with the resources available to do something with them. On the one hand, educational integration: the different social actors and institutions that fail to carry out jointly build the direction to follow for each integration. This generates more than integration, as one participant said, disintegration. Moreover, difficulties relating to the formation of the advisory council on disability policy. Integrations
Regarding the first topic discussed disconnection, miscommunication, not speaking the same language ... Thinking begin framing this issue: was mentioned as an important aspect of acceptance or denial of the parents of disabled children, along with fear and helplessness. The discussion led us to believe there was a problem in order to convey to parents the decisions and guidance will continue the integration, in order to make parents understand what the school tells them. But the problem is not only fail to be understood but that means school is not so clear to the school itself. For a variety of issues not working a meeting and joint construction between the educational institutions themselves. Integration teaching in many cases will disintegrate. Is named as an unwanted effect of "teaching disintegration" that it ends up producing an over-adjustment of the child to the operation of the various institutions that attends.
problematic within the school to carry out the integration identified two priority areas. On the one hand the lack of time: it was noted that inclusive teachers have no time to carry out the integration with the dedication you deserve. There are few objections, a large waiting list and many students in integration. On the other hand, there is a lack of teacher training. Training orders and charge to alleviate these two problems are not heard through the inspection. Also, there is space for teachers training, or supervision or containment (no one will say anything if you work poorly). There
a teacher talking about burn-out. One is exhausted, burned remains unable to produce changes in the institutional inertia. Appeared, by way of emphasis, which was written and drawn on the maps the first morning of the workshop: the bureaucracy and an "all talking at once."
was then proposed to think about strategies: It is worth transcribing.
A first idea was to create an alliance with the CEAM (Centro Municipal Open Education) for training. They also discussed the implementation of workspaces (to address diversity) with students of all levels and give workshops for parents and adults in general. This resulted in the proposal to organize a task force that:
• Advise the actors involved in integration. • Implement dynamic
working in schools.
• Advise and inform businesses about the rights and obligations.
• Advise and inform people. • Build projects
internships. Advisory Council
The other sticking point revolved around working the conformation of the advisory board. The board should be a workplace in which different institutions and social actors involved in something that is common to all. In fact, over the two-day workshop, appeared several general requirements in relation to disability issues that should be addressed by the future council.
said there were previous attempts. They had great difficulty in carrying out specific projects. Ended questions are processed individual and specific needs of different people with disabilities in the municipality, according to the urgency, "plugging potholes as a firefighter." But in regard to carrying out the function of advising on policies that are common to the topic of disability, could not function operationally. The discussion
said the problem is that such a space is made subject to the comings and goings of municipal and provincial duty, can not function as a real public space of work. How then call? How to ensure autonomy and they really do hear Time management policies must be implemented in relation to disability issues? He was
some workshop participants a taste bitter, always the same, exhaustion. This should be noted, was very present in those who work for years and are involved in the field, to the inertia of the public sector to produce real changes that alter the unfavorable situations for people with disabilities. Other participants was the enthusiasm and commitment to shape those workspaces when they thought they discussed strategies to address the problems discussed.
In one of the first activities of the spaces of governance and bureaucracy were called directly. If this is so, if the public works as a bureaucracy that is not working. The public then it would be the institutions to which management responds in power, but it is in public / common areas of exchange and collective construction.
Likewise: if politics is twists and turns of the management shift, then politics must be done. Politics lies in collective bargaining space in which collectively build and utilize available resources to do something with the discomfort. That's the bet that's what I want to convey. The policy has to be done, and it is doing. But by no means went to say that anything is possible. No, not everything. Maybe you can not achieve a radical transformation of situations of injustice and exclusion that exist in that community. Tell them that would have been meaningless. Yes we wanted to convey the excitement of that while not everything is possible, by joining forces and putting into operation available resources as we can see that everything is susceptible to transformation.
