The relevance of this topic lies in the fact that the development of inclusive education is inextricably linked with the training of teaching staff, prepared to work with "special" children. The aim of the study is to develop professionally important qualities in future teachers. To achieve the goal, the level of knowledge of the problem of the development of students' readiness to work in inclusive education and the level of development of the components of the readiness of future teachers to work with children with special educational needs were revealed, the effectiveness of an experimental model of the process of preparing future teachers to work in inclusive education was tested. A psychological and pedagogical experiment was conducted with ascertaining, formative and control stages. Diagnostics of the level of formation of the components of psychological readiness using the methodology "Diagnostics of the readiness of teachers to work with children with disabilities" at the ascertaining stage showed that students did not have any ideas about the patterns of development characteristic of children with OVZ on the specifics of organizing pedagogical support for special children in the system of inclusive education. In order to increase the level of development of inclusive readiness of students, a formative experiment was carried out, for which a special course of practice-oriented classes (12 lectures and practical sessions) was developed, aimed at a deep study of the patterns of development of children in conditions of inclusion and the organization of pedagogical support for special children. Repeated diagnostics showed a positive dynamic of students’ readiness for a number of indicators: the formation of ideas about the conditions that must be observed when teaching and raising children with disabilities, forms of organizing inclusive education and upbringing of children in inclusive education. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the experimental model of the process of preparing future teachers for work in inclusive education is effective and it is recommended to introduce it into practice.
