Sumario:This article presents forms of participation of families and communities inside schools, and their impacts in the students’ academic success as well as in the schools’ atmosphere. It also explains the strategies that make these kinds of participation possible. Based on a longitudinal study carried out within the project Includ-ED: Strategies for Inclusion and Social Cohesion in Europe from Education in different schools of the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Finland, Malta, and Spain, we have defined and classified four forms of participation that contribute to educational success: formation of relatives and individuals of the community; involvement in making decisions that are important for the school; contributions to the development of curriculum and evaluations; and participation of families and the community in learning spaces. These contributions are also supported by the scientific literature.How to reference this article: Martínez Gutiérrez, Beatriz y Reko Niemelä, “Formas de implicación de las familias y de la comunidad hacia el éxito educativo”, Revista Educación y Pedagogía, Medellín, Universidad de Antioquia, Facultad de Educación, vol. 22, núm. 56, enero-abril, 2010, pp. 69-77.Received: january 2010Accepted: march 2010
