INCLUSIVE PEDAGOGY: TEACHING STRATEGIES FOR DIVERSE LEARNERS

The landscape of education has seen tremendous development over the years, following the innovations led by technology and digitization. In a nutshell, it can simply be put that teaching methods have now become largely student-centered. In the Indian scenario, several examples have shown how conventional teaching methods have only produced a literate population that has strived to meet up with parents’ expectations, higher grades and reverence for curriculum activities. In other words, students have passed out, however with minimal understanding of their own preferences, career-paths, skills, forte and so on. As time passed, new teaching models have come into effect. For instance, on a college and university level, event-based and personalized learning programmes were implemented to form interdisciplinary curriculums, altogether broadening the scope for the learner. The details about academic advancements, both in curriculum and teaching methods are vast and would take several discussions to fully understand the scope of such developments. However, in this paper, we shall place an effort to understand the effectiveness of inclusive pedagogy, or inclusive teaching methods that have improved several situations for the student, altogether preparing a well-integrated classroom environment.
