Abstract

The aim of the research is to get a feel of the way diverse children can be included in the same classroom and share the same
learning agenda. Again, there is a process of, and there are many strategies for creating an inclusive classroom that the author
was not familiar with and he had to learn about because this deficit could potentially handicap him in achieving his aim. Thus,
the paper focuses on effective inclusive teaching strategies. The first part of the paper considers the notion of effective inclusive
pedagogic strategies and the research that has investigated this notion. The second part of the paper considers some of the
examples of practice of attending to diversity highlighted by a study of the strategies used by some teachers in English primary
school classrooms. The evidence provided here proved useful in helping the author, on the one hand, to understand better ways
for responding to pupil diversity in classrooms, and on the other hand, it would potentially help practitioners to learn more about
their own classroom practice and think about possible changes.
