dc.description.abstract | There is a need to advance inclusive education for students with significant disabilities, and one
way to support this effort is to ensure educators have expertise in, and are prepared to implement,
inclusive practices. We surveyed and interviewed general and special education teachers to
understand their experiences and preparation to demonstrate skills associated with inclusive
education and collaboration and identify the factors that may contribute to their preparation.
There was a relationship between educators’ preparedness for inclusive education and whether
they have taken university courses or had special training on inclusive education. Analysis of
interviews with a subset of participants supported this finding and provided a deeper
understanding of the educators’ preparation and experiences in implementing inclusive practices
for students with significant disabilities. | en_US |
