| Description | The publication focuses on the profession of a special education coordinator in elementary school. Building on the current scientific knowledge and relevant legislative documents, the book reflects on the need for these specific professionals in school counselling centres where they become one of the key elements in supporting the concept of inclusive education. Based on a qualitative research study carried out by means of semi-structured interviews with special education coordinators, the authors used the grounded theory approach to analyse the specifics of the profession as well as its tasks and job description in relation to all actors of the educational process including children, parents and other professionals in schools and educational counselling centres. At the same time, the publication addresses the workload, coping strategies and mental hygiene approaches among special education coordinators including their perceptions of their own professional roles and participation in the life of the school. |
