TEACHER EDUCATION FOR PREPARING TEACHER IN AN INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM

Abstract

One innovative strategy for helping students with special needs and other forms of disability succeed in school is known as inclusive education (IE). The goal of inclusive education is to help all students succeed in school, but it prioritises helping children from low-income families and other groups who are more likely to experience prejudice and exclusion. Assuming a sufficient network of support services is in place, the approach suggests that all students, regardless of disability, should have equal access to public schools and community learning environments. The concept of inclusive education was reaffirmed at the 2000 World Education Forum in Dakar, Senegal, and was first accepted at the 1994 World Conference on Special Needs Education: Access and Quality in Salamanca, Spain. When it comes to creating an inclusive culture in the classroom, teachers have a pivotal role to play in terms of their attitude and ideals. Students' emotional well-being and sense of self-worth are profoundly and permanently impacted by the beliefs and demeanour of their educators. For inclusive education policies and initiatives to be effective, instructors must possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and values. A variety of viewpoints regarding the overhaul of our educational system continue to surface, touching on topics such as the redesign of course syllabi and the alteration of the learning environment. There are a lot of different viewpoints, but all the experts agree that insufficient teacher training is a huge problem. The career that paves the way for other professions, like all others, requires ongoing skill development. Keywords: Inclusive education, self-esteem, differently abled, LEAD, Inclusive Classroom.
