A challenge for the future

The book highlights that the paramount need for European countries and the world, in order to ensure sustainable development and social equity, is the implementation of effective inclusion policies for all learners, particularly those who are disadvantaged. Not only will the learning environment be inclusive, but teachers will also adopt an inclusive approach. Therefore, today, teachers will promote the teaching and learning process to ensure educational success for all. The author describes an experiment she conducted with pupils who have specific learning difficulties. The aim of the experiment is to demonstrate that learning is linked both to the pupils' individual learning characteristics and to the teacher's ability to adapt their teaching to modify the learner characteristics observed at the outset. In this way, we will build knowledge that endures over time. The results suggest that the teaching strategies tested promote learning across different subjects when the inclusive teacher uses metacognitive strategies with all pupils in the class and shares formative assessment with them.
