The pedagogical workers of kindergartens rated this post in the inclusive education as very beneficial and important, at the same time, many of them do not feel sufficient assistance and support from a special educator in the education of a child with special educational needs. The special educator from the school counseling centre has confirmed that his role is essential and in the context of inclusive education well founded. In spite of that, due to the large number of children with special educational needs in schools and due to the fact, the job is demanding and time-consuming, it is impossible to take well care of all children and schools as would be required. Most of the pedagogical workers would appreciate establishment of the post of special school educator in their kindergartens, because of the overall support in the education of children with special educational needs.

SKOPCOVÁ, Nikola
Special educator in our school system is an expert, who ensures some professional advice in a school consulting service. His/her position is so far in the Czech Republic a new phenomenon, and schools have different attitudes towards this problem. My bachelor's thesis "Cooperation of pedagogical team with special educator in the elementary school system" deals with some cooperation of class teachers and their assistants with the special educator. In first chapter of theoretical part of this work I deal with an education system. There I elaborate structure of our education system, and the system in other European countries such as Slovakia or Germany, too. I deal in this charter with different types of primary schools and particular consulting services they can offer. In the second chapter I deal with problems of the special educator. There are described his/her activities in school, a benefit for school and for teachers and parents, too. In the last chapter of the theoretical part is defined the concept of the educator, his/her personality and prerequisite for the job. The empirical part of the work presents a research in which I observe an attitudes of a teaching staff to a professional work of the special educator in the elementary school, where was already established his/her working place. In the research were used a semi-structured interviews with classroom teachers and their assistants. I investigated five primary schools in Benešov district where they have some special educator and I was always interviewing two teachers. The purpose of these interviews was to find out how the cooperation between the special educator and the teachers takes place, how often they usually meet and if they are satisfied with their mutual cooperation. From the research comes out that most teachers are satisfied with work of the special educator. Communications take place non-violently, informally, and in a good mood. Pedagogical staff takes the special educator as their colleague and they are not afraid to ask him/her for professional advice. These communications usually take place just between two of them without presence of another teacher. This bachelor thesis should serve as information for improvement of work with children with special educational needs. It might be also used for better understanding of the mentioned topic by public and teaching staff of primary schools.
