Teacher Education for Inclusion – Profile of Inclusive Teachers

The Profile of Inclusive Teachers presents a framework of values and the areas of competence necessary for all teachers if they are to be effective in inclusive classrooms. The Profile presents information on what essential values and areas of competence should be developed within all ITE programmes. However, it does not attempt to describe how these areas of competence should be used within different country programmes for ITE. Although some key issues relating to implementation are considered within a later section of this document, the Profile has been drafted as a tool to be examined and developed in ways that specifically fit within the different context of each individual country’s ITE system.
