Abstract
Scholastic instruction is continuously going through moments of crisis. Nevertheless, the need of a persistent process of innovation, it is important to understand how such a modernisation can be and should be accomplished. Taking the perspective of Special Didactics, the article delineates the question through three different themes: a) inclusive education as main objective with which evaluate the effectiveness of novelty actions, b) the challenges that school has to face, and c) the deep meaning of innovation itself. The result allows to point out the elements of a suggestion for teachers' education, who are fundamentally called to sustain an authentic innovation process.
