Iclusion and online learning in the middleschool in pandemic times (Italy)

Abstract

Working in inclusive schools is a great challenge that we have been tackling in Italy for over 40 years. In this time, many new strategies have been implemented and also constant changes. The closure of special schools has been, in retrospect, a courageous decision that has been adopted by more and more countries over the decades. The outbreak of the Corona pandemic has also put pressure on our inclusive school system. I would like to use this presentation to examine the reaction of my inclusive classes and analyse the advantages and disadvantages of online teaching in the inclusive school system and answer the following questions: What has been the impact of online teaching on inclusive classes?
