Whereto From Here? A Discussion Among International Scholars of Inclusive Education

Abstract

Which ideas are central to inclusive education in Canada, and how do educators and researchers build capacity to provide it? Who or what is still missing, and how can international collaboration help us accomplish our goals in inclusive education? This article reports on a discussion among international scholars of inclusive education as they considered these questions together. These scholars, from Canada, Scotland, Finland, and Germany, considered the lessons they (we) have learned from our history of inclusive education in Canada. They drew on their experience with collaborative research to outline some clear benefits of working together, and learning from each other, to find progressive ways forward in inclusive education.
