education pilot in mainstream schools of three regions of Albania.
Inclusive education (IE) is generally known a process that involves the
transformation of schools and other centres of learning to cater for all
children (UNESCO 2009). In its philosophy Inclusive Education
embraces the change of policies, cultures and practices in all levels of
education. As such it is not a static process but an evolving one which
seeks for constant analyses and adjustments in all its three
dimensions. Although efforts to establish IE in Albania started years
ago, it is officially introduced as a necessity in education system by the
new Law for pre-University Education 2012 and its Normative
Dispositions 2013. Such legal provisions form strong bases for IE
implementation across the county, yet the process is challenged in many ways. Scarcity of the knowledgeable and experienced human
resources, as well as the allocation of sufficient financial resources
remains the main challenge. The paper aims to bring an overall view
of the IE pilot interventions, focusing on the values of teachers as
agents of change in the process of including SEN children in education
settings in Albania. The paper tries to analyses their role, highlight the
positive experience and provide some recommendations for distributing
this positive experience and making it sustainable. | | Keywords : | | | Teachers, supportive teachers, inclusive education,
