Description

The wide variety of student characteristics forces us to have specialized teachers, capable of detecting the particularities and needs of each student. In this advanced master’s degree, we give you the keys to Inclusive Education so that you can apply them to your daily work”

Teachers should direct their specialization and work toward Inclusive Education in which all students, regardless of their abilities, are treated as equals and receive an education tailored to their needs whereby their particularities and needs are taken as strengths on which to work to develop their skills and abilities to the maximum.

This specialization aims to provide a vision of Inclusive Education so all children and young people who are at risk of social exclusion or who have high capacities can learn on equal terms from the knowledge of their reality, and provide them with a quality experience focused on how to support their learning, their achievements and their full participation in their life at the institution and in society.

This program offers a comprehensive vision of the inclusive school in all its dimensions, both from the perspective of educational institutions and the role played by teachers and families, providing tools and experiences guaranteed by our teaching staff. In this way, students will learn from the faculty’s professional experience and pedagogic knowledge, thus making the specialization more effective and accurate. In addition, it must be noted this is a multidisciplinary specialization, since the contents on Inclusive Education are related to aspects involving social exclusion and high capacities.

Throughout this specialization, the student will learn all of the current approaches to the different challenges posed by their profession. A high-level step that will become a process of improvement, not only on a professional level, but also on a personal one.
