Abstract

Teacher education needs to be revised to empower teachers to support all students to accomplish inclusive and equitable education. Teacher training programmes would be the easiest way to implement inclusive pedagogical methods that respect diversity, equity, and learner agency. This chapter presents how teacher training programmes help to develop sufficient knowledge, attitudes and skills required for inclusive education, linking with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4) and the UNESCO Framework for Inclusion in Education (2020). It highlights the integration of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), culturally responsive education, and strength-based approaches in pre-service and in-service teacher education. The chapter stresses how theoretical and practical case studies help provide teacher training that focuses on moral, social, and professional commitment. The chapter presents conceptual models which can be applied for any teacher training institutions to integrate inclusion and equity into 21st-century teacher training pedagogy.
