Abstract
In nowadays Society of Information and Knowledge, the school needs to provide the best means that ensure learning for all students, overcoming inequalities and guaranteeing the improvement of academic achievement. In this sense, there is scientific evidence showing the importance of the participation of families and other community members as a strategy for success at school. One of the fundamental references stressed in this article is the Include-ed project, which underlines different types of community participation and their influence on learning and school performance. The three kinds of participation most related with success are Decisive, Evaluative and Educative. Among these ways of participation, there is evidence of at least four specific interventions involving the participation of families and community based on egalitarian dialogue which improved the educational success. To conclude this article, we show some specific actions that help and strengthen that participation.
