Abstract

Social awareness concerning behavioural problems and coexistence in schools has significantly increased in recent years. This circumstance led to the introduction of a series of training channels, regulatory frameworks and resources to support schools in order to adequately manage this concern. This article analyses one of these support resources, the specific guidance/orientation teams, where there are professionals devoted to cooperate with the orientation departments of schools and with the educational communities in general, to build appropriate teaching-learning environments for making learning possible, since coexistence and learning are mutually conditioned.

We will begin by explaining the role which this service is expected to play, describing its fitting in the orientation model designed for the Autonomous Community of Galicia: Functions, planned lines of intervention, as well as the general protocols to follow.

The focus of this article explains the principles upon which the interventions are based. Emphasising the importance of collaborating with school institutions to create inclusive cultures, proactive actions and collaborative and cooperative methodologies as effective ways to generate environments which encourage communication, mutual respect, dialogue and the leading role of the different agents that interact in these spaces.
