GONZALEZ-GIL, Francisca  and  MARTIN, Pilar Sarto. An international experience of training teachers for inclusion. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2011, n.19, pp.25-36. ISSN 1645-7250.

Diversity demands appropriate educative attention if all students are to receive a quality education, which guarantees the equal opportunities principle. Inclusive education is the better way to achieve it. At national and international levels, inclusion is considered a model for developing educational systems although the majority of schools have not yet attained it. This reality justifies the need for teachers training to meet the challenges of achieving success for all the students. We present an experience developed at nine schools in Spain and Costa Rica, through a teacher training for inclusion project. With this project schools have initiated processes for transforming into inclusive educational centers. We relate the core process principles, the strengths and difficulties found and the main results. The findings show how these processes represent substantial changes for the schools
