Teaching, Learning and Inclusive Education: The Challenge of Teachers’ Training for Inclusion

Diversity in education is reflected in different learning rates, abilities, interests, expectations, needs, and so on and demands appropriate educative attention. This reality justifies the need for teachers training to meet the challenges of achieving success for all the students. For the current study, an ad hoc survey to assess the perceived training needs for promoting inclusion of school teachers was developed. A sample of 200 teachers was utilized. The results showed several perceived training needs in teachers related to issues for participating in the processes of transforming schools into inclusive settings and to inclusive methodologies to be implemented in schools.
