Inclusion is a hard work. A research contribution aimed at supporting teachers

Primary educational systems play a meaningful role in creating an inclusive culture, offering a “basic minimum standard of education for all” (OECD 2007), a prerequisite for the full access to all levels of social life. Inclusive practices solicit high commitment from teachers, make their work harder, presume they are able to cooperate and integrate each other’s action. A critical point is special/support teachers’ subjective perception of being supported (or not) by colleagues and the educational staff altogether. Aim of this paper is to present a validated instrument, the CSIT Scale, and its potential use in school settings helping in monitoring the relational well-being of the school staff.
