Inclusive practices are a key element of the educational process, which requires collaboration between the teachers and the students. They focus on facilitating equal educational opportunities for all students, fostering a sense of belonging and creating a learning environment that fosters individual goals. This is achieved through a variety of methods, including physical and creative activities.
This approach recognizes that no two children are the same, and educators must treat every child the same. It helps children develop empathy for others, problem solving skills, and a positive self-image. It also creates a welcoming and safe environment where everyone can feel comfortable. It also builds confidence among parents and teachers.
Inclusion requires flexibility in teaching and learning environments, and the study posed two research questions: what teachers do and don’t do to ensure inclusion, and what challenges they face. The study’s methodology addresses these questions by looking at teachers’ perceptions of what inclusive practices are and how they can be incorporated into everyday practice.
Inclusion of children with disabilities can be challenging, but it can also be rewarding. By addressing the specific needs of students with disabilities, inclusive practices create supportive school communities and increase engagement. By taking into account students’ social and academic needs, school leaders can strengthen the educational experiences of students with disabilities. By creating an environment that supports the social and academic development of all students, inclusive practices can promote the success of inclusive education in all areas.
