Trust amongst classmates for support. What is the special needs teacher’s role in this?

Cristina Ambrogetti

Trust: there are those that grant it, those who receive it, those who reciprocate it, those who deserve it and those who need it. This paper aims to offer an interpretation, according to which the act of granting one’s trust to others can turn, from an isolated moment, conditioned by expectations of reciprocity, into an «investment» in terms of respect towards others, thus generating bonds which become connections and networks within the class group. Trust amongst classmates becomes support, a resource for all and a drive towards co-evolution. All of this necessitates collaboration amongst different professions and roles.
