Ana de Castro-Calvo; Núria Carrete-Marín; Núria Simó-Gil – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2024
Understanding what is meant by pedagogical renewal today, based on the transformative processes that are being carried out, poses a challenge, one that is even greater if the aim is to elucidate the pedagogical benchmarks and hallmarks of secondary schools.

School improvement has become a goal in many education systems globally, with the mantra of 'whole school change' adopted as key to achieving that goal.

Kauffman, James M.; Schumaker, Jean B.; Badar, Jeanmarie; Hallenbeck, Betty A. – Exceptionality, 2019
We suggest that special education could die among common myths about it. That is, special education could cease to exist, at least as we know it, because its true nature and requirements for its functioning are misunderstood. We discuss only 12 common myths about special education, recognizing that there are many more myths and that the ones we…
