What are the elements creating inclusive school environment and how can we identify them? How is integration understood in school? What can be improved so that the principle of inclusion is more effective to school life? Which aspects of inclusion does research in the Czech Republic focus on? In this book you will find an answer on all these and many other topics.

How can we ascertain that a school is inclusive enough? Not only officials and stakeholders but also school representatives themselves ask that question very often. However, finding the answer is not as easy as it might seem. Our team, thus, decided to assemble a guide which might come to their assistance. This book summarizes the results of our work. The first chapter is a summary of the main reasons why we support and advocate school inclusion. In the second chapter we answer the question What is school inclusion?. The third chapter then introduces basic indicators which form school inclusion. A short overview of Czech research in the field of school inclusion in the last few years follows in the fourth chapter. The last and most extensive chapter presents the results of our effort to create a tool for school inclusion evaluation. Here you can find both an evaluation and autoevaluation tool design including its qualitative and quantitative design.
