Abstract

Community Consultancy and the Reinvention of TeachersSalto de línea Salto de línea This article deals with a more committed approach to community consultancy in education, being its main referent the persecution of the ethic community as well as the dissemination of an alternative common sense which opposes the standstill of the different prospects. Thus, the resulting aftermaths of social trends, such as the dissociation and individualisation of social issues in relation to teachers, schools and society as a whole, are analysed. Then, the reinvention both of teachers and the socializing framework of schools is intended to be fostered through the community consultancy. This will be achieved by means of the conversion of schools into spaces for new social experimentation along with the creation of rebel subjectivities among teachers, so that they can manage to structure educational institutions from everyday experiences that contribute to the promotion of solidarity and mutual understanding. Finally, three fields for activity regarding community consultancy are described. These fields are the following: first, different ways of establishing ties based on solidarity and mutual commitment; second, different manners to tackle issues and take decisions by means of disseminating the practice of a democratic participation as well as human rights; then, a set of strategies aimed at maximizing the possibilities of developing specific educational settings such as the so-called Situated Reform.
