Abstract:
This paper reviews several factors impacting a teachers’ attitude toward an inclusive classroom. A teacher’s attitude is determined to be a major factor in the growth and development of students with disabilities. It is suggested that to support the increase of students with disabilities in the general classroom setting, a shift in the demeanor of teachers is necessary. Educators must examine policy and strive to enforce robust measures. Identifying concerns, providing resources and support are essential factors in improving the success of students with disabilities in an inclusive classroom.
