Abstract

In our schools, diversity is reflected in different learning rates, abilities, interests, motivations, expectations, needs, and so on. This situation affects coexistence and demands appropriate educative attention. Inclusive education is the best way to achieve this in that involvement and participation of all people in transforming schools is the only way to achieve and fine-tune coexistence in each educational centre. However, this reality justifies the need for teachers training to meet the challenges of achieving success for all the students. For the current study, an ad hoc survey was developed to assess the perceived training needs of teachers for promoting inclusion. A sample of 400 teachers working in Castilla y León schools was utilized. The results showed several perceived training needs for teachers. These needs related to issues for participating in the processes of transforming schools into inclusive settings. Additional perceived needs related to inclusive methodologies to be implemented in the schools and strategies to improve their coexistence.
