Care and Personal Attention from the Elementary School Teacher

This anthology includes a series of articles published by the author over the past five years, which explore a range of approaches that teachers can adopt through collaborative work. It begins by acknowledging some of the challenges faced by elementary school teachers in maintaining their health and personal well-being so that they are in optimal condition to carry out extracurricular tasks, such as participating in educational, school-based, classroom, intercultural, and community projects. It reports on the results of several innovative initiatives carried out in schools in rural Mexico. Readers interested in pedagogical innovation will find in these texts school-based practices and processes developed by teaching teams at various elementary schools, which have collectively and successfully addressed critical issues such as: the recognition of interculturality, its inclusion as an educational element for students and their families, and the committed participation of all educational and school stakeholders, as well as the entire community.
