Training teachers to become inclusive educators is essential to attaining quality Education for All. As the basic right to education receives greater recognition and is interpreted in a more holistic manner, children with different needs are progressively being included in general education classrooms throughout the world.
IBE Programme Specialist Renato Opertti will be sharing strategies that empower teachers to address learners’ diverse needs, with an emphasis on pre-service and in-service teacher training. He will also present on the manner in which personalized learning, inclusive curricula and assessment, and professional communities of practice can support educators in overcoming some of the challenges associated with inclusion.
