Breaking Barriers: Fostering Inclusivity in Teacher Education through Competency-Based Framework

Inclusive education aims to give every student, independent of their abilities, background, or learning needs, a high standard. Getting teachers ready for inclusive classrooms calls for a change from conventional teaching paradigms to a competency-based framework stressing attitudes, skills, and information vital for handling diversity. The need, framework, and application of a competency-based model in teacher education to improve inclusive teaching are investigated in this paper. It offers a complete framework for building inclusive education competencies in pre-service and in-service instructors drawing on theoretical viewpoints, current models, and empirical data.
