A questionnai re was designed and the information was coded following the  classroom ecological model and complemented with categories drawn from the Index. The results analysed in detail for each school, show varying practices towards inclusiveness approaches. In  conclusion, we have identified how certain elements, such as the organizational culture, the organizational structures and the teachers’ beliefs, among others aspects, become key factors to further progress towards more inclusive practices.
