Abstrakt: Zkoumáme perspektivy praktiků (učitelů/učitelek, vedení škol, asistentů/ asistentek, atp.) na spolupráci učitele/učitelky a AP ve třídě, celkové postavení AP ve školách, jakož i základní politiky jak je ref lektují praktici. Ústředním bodem analýzy jsou nejistoty ohledně odpovědnosti AP a struktury určující jejich postavení.

Title: She is just an Assistant: Good Practices and Cooperation with Teacher Assistants in Inclusive Education from the Perspective of Practitioners in the Czech Republic
Abstract: This paper focuses on the vulnerable situation of teacher assistants (TAs) in the classroom and school and the ways that schools committed to inclusion cope with it. We explore the perspectives of practitioners on the teacher (T) – TA cooperation in the class room, overall position of TAs in these schools, as well as the underlying policies. The focal point of analyses is the power structures determining the position of TAs. We base our findings on 34 semi-structured interviews. These took place in 3 schools that we identified as successful in implementing inclusive education. The paper offers preliminary findings focusing mostly on good practices of schools as regards the presence of TAs that can be useful for other schools undergoing the shift to inclusive education. However, we do not only focus on the interactions of the TAs with Ts and pupils, but on the complete picture of measures building an inclusive environment and safe educational climate.
