Responsive teaching for sustainable learning: A practical conceptualisation of inclusive education

Abstract

Inclusive education is about learning for all. It depends on teaching that is appropriate for each student who presents at the classroom door and aims to contribute to the growth and development of every learner. Inclusive education no longer refers only to teaching children with disability. It is a much broader notion within which schools are expected to respond to a wide variety of learning needs: to focus on both the group of learners that make up a class, and individual learners.
