Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Awareness, readiness, and knowledge of teachers with the method and techniques of instruction severely determine the impact on the equity toward education. In line with this, this study focuses on teachers' sensitivity towards children with special needs in a regular classroom setting. Hence, the researcher aimed to assess the status of implementation of inclusive education among CSNs so as the common cases of children underinclusion as well as the extent of implementation of inclusive education were assessed to design a proposed action plan that will enhance the implementation of inclusive education in the Division of Batangas.

METHODS

This descriptive study involved school heads and their teachers in schools with inclusive education.

RESULTS

It was revealed in the study that there was a lack of teachers' training related to inclusive education while instructional materials are inadequate; evaluation instruments and curriculum materials are substantially evident; teachers' knowledge and awareness are partly evident according to its interpretation, while the quality of instruction, physical facilities, and teaching strategies are substantially seen and evidently implemented.

DISCUSSIONS

The researcher, therefore, offered SPECIAL MANIFESTO to enhance the implementation of inclusive education in the Division of Batangas Province. This caters a series of enhancement programs and activities that will uplift the present situation of inclusive education in the division.
