Abstract

This professional activity report, drawn in the context of the Master’s Degree in Educational Sciences - School Administration and Organization, aims to reflect on theimpact school projects have to build an inclusive school, which promotes educational equity. It starts with a brief reference to two organizational models, followed by a reflection on how the democratization of education, based on the “Lei de Bases do Sistema Educativo” (fundamental Law for the Educational System), influenced the construction of a school of masses. Therefore a reference will be made to the universalizability of education, as a way to guarantee equal access to education to every children and young people, leading totheir integration at school; to the evolution of special needs education (which entitles disabled children and young people the opportunity to develop their skills as well as acquire new competences, within an appropraiate climate) to what we know now as Inclusive Education; to justice and human rights in education; and to the schools’ role in promoting inclusion and educational equity. Finally, two school projects are presented in order to show the impact of schools’ dynamism in building an inclusive and equitable school, aiming more and better educational success.
