Professional Support in the Educational Process Is One of the Basic Factors for Education for All

Summary/Abstract: Inclusive education is qualitative education which enables each child to receive optimal conditions for learning and development. This type of education is focused on the identification of obstacles and their removal from the educational process as well as having an active participation in all subjects included in this process. Assistants in the teaching process are professionals who contribute to the quality and improvement of inclusive education. Therefore, they are important subjects in the realization of the educational process in schools. They cooperate with teachers, students, parents, educators, rehabilitators, pedagogical services and the management of an educational institution. The aim of this paper is to present activities which were conducted in practice within the project “Development of the support system in the teaching process in elementary schools in Canton Sarajevo.” The project was related to the employment of assistants in the teaching process in elementary and secondary schools which offered professional support to teachers and all students in inclusive classes. There were 60 teachers, 123 children with special needs and 1,425 children in 58 classes included in this process. One of the aims of the Project was to define the role of an assistant. This was done by using available literature, previous experience of assistants’ work in mentoring, the analysis of the questionnaire filled in by school directors, pedagogues, and teachers and through communication with parents. This Guide defines the role, competence and responsibility of the assistant in the teaching process. A research promoted after the realization of the project showed positive results and its complete justification. It confirms once again the need to ensure permanent support in the teaching process.
