With the spread of inclusive education, new requirements are imposed on a teacher, including their readiness to teach, educate, and help with the development of children with special educational needs. Scholars recognize the need to amend the training of general education teachers (primary school teachers and subject teachers) to form their readiness to teach school children with disabilities. The study presents an analysis of modern Russian research on this issue using methods of analysis, systematization, and comparison of modern approaches to teacher training for inclusive education of children with disabilities. The study reveals Russian scholars’ understanding of the term “readiness for inclusive education of children with disabilities” and a list of professional and personal qualities, value-semantic guidelines, and professional competencies that an inclusive education teacher should have. Scientific approaches to the training of such a specialist (competency-based, integrated) and proposed forms of education are critically analyzed, and issues of content and new technologies used in preparing a teacher for this type of professional activity (contextual, project-based learning) are considered. The study reveals the shortcomings of the modern situation in the preparation of a general school teacher for inclusive teaching of children with disabilities, and the authors’ view on changing the form of such training is proposed. As a result of the analysis, prospects for further research in the field of teacher training for inclusive education of children with disabilities are highlighted.

The article analyzes the historical stages of inclusive education in the United States: the first – 1960 – the stage of segregation and marginalization of people with special educational needs, the second (from 1968 to 1975) – the stage of normalization, the idea of involving disabled students in the educational environment, the third stage – educational mainstreaming (1975–1983), the fourth stage – (1983–2004) – inclusive education characterized by joint training of people with special needs with peers using typical development, the fifth –mixed educational system – a comprehensive inclusive education system starting in 2004 and until now in the United States.It was determined that the definition of “special educational needs” (learning disability), means developmental delay, disorder of one or more processes related to speaking, reading, pronunciation, writing or arithmetic abilities as a result of possible cerebral dysfunction, but not in the result of mental disorders, loss of sensitivity, cultural, educational or upbringing factors. It has been found that disorder or disability is not one specific concept, but often a mixture of disorders grouped under one broad term, and inclusive education is seen as “the process of addressing and responding to the diverse needs of students by ensuring their participation in learning, cultural activities and community life and reducing exclusion in education and the learning process”. Now intellectual level is determined by using standard intelligence tests, mostly Stanford-Binet, that allows to use individualized curricula as a basis for teaching children with disabilities in inclusive settings. But it is still clear that even in such circumstances, the problems of inclusive education remain to be complex and ambiguous. Keywords: special educational needs, children with disabilities, inclusive environment, inclusion, child with special educational needs, inclusive education, state acts, US general education system.

An interdisciplinary study examines the problems of implementing the concept of inclusive education in the education system of the Republic of Tatarstan. An urgent problem is the lack of training of teachers of General education organizations to work with children with disabilities who have special educational needs, which makes it necessary to form professional competencies of teachers related to the development of the ability to design and implement innovative technologies of educational and correctional work aimed at achieving educational results. The purpose of the study was to identify the opinions of teachers about the difficulties of implementing the concept of inclusive education in the national educational system and their readiness to be active in the new conditions. The object of the author's research was chosen pedagogical discourse. Written works (essays) of primary school teachers and subject teachers were used as a communication space reflecting pedagogical discourse. Discourse analysis was used as the main research method. The results of the analysis of pedagogical discourse confirmed the research hypothesis about the lack of training of teachers of the General education system to work with children with disabilities and indicate that the common problem of all teachers is the lack of positive motivation to work; lack of special knowledge about the organization of the educational process; practical skills necessary to work with children with special educational needs. The research data presented in the article give grounds to say that the Republican education system should create conditions for the development of inclusive practices using the network interaction of educational organizations, health and social protection institutions, constant methodological support for teachers, innovative teaching experience.

the article reveals the content and legal aspects of the design features of an inclusive educational environment in a mass school. The understanding by the government and society as a whole of the concept of equal opportunities for children with disabilities and children with disabilities formed the basis for creating a special inclusive educational environment at school, determined the need to find effective ways to include and opportunities for interaction of subjects of an inclusive educational process. Based on the theoretical analysis of domestic and foreign literature, the authors present a refined definition of “inclusive educational environment”, define and describe its essential characteristics. Based on their research and personal experience in implementing inclusive education programs, they prove that an inclusive educational environment is a variation of the educational environment in which students with disabilities are provided with conditions for self-realization and the formation of value-semantic life orientations in the context of their special educational needs. For the first time in the context of the study, a scientifically based relationship between the values of inclusive education and inclusive policies, inclusive practices and inclusive culture is presented. When describing the fundamental principles underlying the design of an inclusive educational environment in a modern school, the authors reveal its algorithm and describe the value system of inclusive education.

The ideas of the article are based on the high social significance of discussing the practices of inclusive interaction in various spheres of life and ensuring the variability of approaches to the integration of children with special educational needs into the general education system. On the basis of the environmental approach in education, presented in the works of domestic and foreign authors, the basic principles are outlined and the general difficulties of the functioning of inclusive practice at the present stage are identified. The strategy of applying the vector approach to the examination and modeling of the environment of inclusive interaction and designing ways to improve it for the organization of psychological and pedagogical support of the educational process in school is justified. On the basis of the generalized results of the survey of teachers who organize the education of children with disabilities in non-specialized classes, the features and the type of relations that are currently developing in the joint education of schoolchildren with different educational needs during their integration into a single educational space are characterized. Using the methodology of psychological and pedagogical expertise of the school environment, the typification of the most characteristic influences exerted at modern schools on a child with a developmental disorder is carried out. The emerging dominant modality of the educational environment, its orientation to the development of relationships between teachers and peers, based on the priority of stimulating the activity of the individual with different degrees of manifestation of its freedom or dependence, is revealed. The article describes potential capabilities of each of the diagnosed types of environment in terms of its resources for ensuring freedom of choice of activities, stimulating activity, developing students' independence, and forming their personal characteristics. The diagnosed priority of creative and career-oriented orientation allowed us to draw conclusions about the currently established approaches to the inclusion of children with deviant development in the environment of normotypic peers.

Implementation and educational inclusion in school is a relevant topic for pedagogical and social context because it implies the acceptance and appreciation of differences among children as incentives, rather than obstacles in the process of teaching and learning. On the UNESCO World Conference concerning Special Educational Needs held in 1994, Statement and Framework for Action were adopted, which promote the right of every child to be involved in the educational system, and in regular schools, regardless of their physical, intellectual, emotional, social, linguistic or other conditions. The term special educational need in this context does not exclusively refer to children with disabilities. The concept of inclusive education with the meaning of inclusion of all children in compulsory education extends and deepens the educational model of integration of children with disabilities in regular education. The introduction and implementation of inclusion in schools becomes the requirement of contemporary educational policies of Europe and the world, whereby the changing of schools in order to achieve educational inclusion is conditional on changing the entire educational practice (Mittler, 2006). This paper will show some of the assumptions that are crucial for the implementation of inclusion in schools with special emphasis on the role of activities of teachers as key participants in the process of inclusive school.

Abstract. The article analyzes the teachers᾿ readiness to work in field of inclusive education. It is emphasized that in the context of educational reforms, the question of the feasibility of introducing inclusive education has become acute. This involves educating children with disabilities in comprehensive schools and kindergartens ‒ together with peers who are developing normally. According to the content of the modern national education model, it is assumed that the number of people with disabilities who get educational services in public institutions will increase. At the same time, in accordance with the national action strategy in the interests of children, it is planned to reduce the number of children with disabilities who remained outside the education system, for some objective reasons. Accordingly, it requires new demands on teachers, requires the expansion of their functional responsibilities, changes in professionally significant and personal characteristics. Modern society makes new demands on teachers ‒ the willingness and ability to teach all children without exceptions, regardless of their inclinations, abilities and disabilities. At the same time, the widespread use of a new category of children in kindergartens and secondary schools has led to changes in the teachers᾿ working conditions. The range of teachers᾿ pedagogical interests has significantly expanded. There is a social demand for updating the content of professional training, which includes issues of inclusive education. As a result of the conducted empirical research showed mostly the average, and also low readiness level for work in the inclusive education conditions. The respondents revealed interest in the education problems and raising children with disabilities together with their healthy peers, but just a small number of teachers are willing to work in these conditions. The reason is the lack of knowledges about the peculiarities of the children development, their special educational needs and the pace of progress in the educational process.

With the push to include all students, despite disability, in the general education classroom, general education teachers need to be trained in ways to adequately educate intellectually disabled students alongside their nondisabled peers. Many students with an intellectual disability are capable of learning in an inclusive environment if provided with proper support, such as through instructional methods like project-based learning. Project-based learning actively involves learners in investigating real-world issues and answering related questions. This chapter focuses on how to use the project-based learning method to teach children with intellectual disabilities within the framework of inclusive education, using biology as an example subject area.
