In a postmodern and multicultural society, defined by Bauman (2003) as “liquid modernity”, it is necessary a substantial change, transforming the personal relationship and the organizational structures. We believe it is necessary to “build” an inclusive and democratic school that is based on the active participation of multiple professionals really involved in students’ education overcoming the current conception of artificial cooperation and balkanization of performances. For this reason we have analyzed, through four instrumental study cases, the inter-professional coordination processes and cooperation culture which are behind professional practices with immigrant’s students.
