Inclusive Education

Abstract

This chapter outlines the aspects entailed in the effective implementation of inclusive education. Four building blocks for the effective implementation of inclusive education are highlighted as the teacher, collaboration, organization, and motivation (TCOM) pyramid. Other elements identified as important are teachers' qualifications, the adoption of inclusive teaching strategies, inclusive assessment, and collaboration. Furthermore, the school is flagged as an organization that contributes to the effective implementation of inclusive education. The schools' characteristics are highlighted as the culture, climate, resources, leadership, structure, and staff capacities. The chapter concludes by presenting motivation as another aspect that contributes towards the effective implementation of inclusive education. Lastly, tenets of motivation that include the qualified benefit, compatibility, intricacy, visibility, and urgency are presented to show how they contribute towards the effective implementation of inclusive education in schools.
