Abstract

Inclusive education is an essential educational pillar. The research objective is to analyse the role of the teacher in the creation of inclusive environments with special emphasis on the identification of the necessary competences and pedagogical strategies that allow the development of an equitable and accessible education. This study is framed in a descriptive documentary type research in a population composed of 30 scientific articles. The creation of inclusive educational environments requires not only the implementation of adaptive pedagogical strategies, but also the development of seven key teaching competences. The effective use of ICT for inclusion, effective classroom climate management, pedagogical leadership and authority, an inclusive and reflective attitude, the ability to collaborate and work in teams, the design of inclusive pedagogical strategies, and sensitivity and empathy towards diversity.
