Negotiating Learner Differences MOOC’s Updates

Strengthening Inclusion through the DepEd’s Inclusive Education Framework

One effective inclusive education strategy in the Philippines is the Department of Education’s (DepEd) Inclusive Education Framework, which ensures that learners with disabilities and those from marginalized backgrounds receive equal access to quality education. This approach promotes differentiated instruction, accessible learning materials, and the integration of learners with special needs into mainstream classrooms. As a future educational leader, I see this strategy as vital in breaking barriers to learning by fostering empathy, equity, and collaboration among students and teachers. However, its success depends on continuous teacher training, sufficient resources, and strong community support to truly create a learning environment where every child feels valued and capable of succeeding.
