Personal/professional development for teachers

This research deals with two topics that are very much on the agenda these days: inclusion, which has become an imperative subject, the implementation of which is demanded all over the world, in the various fields of knowledge, and teacher training, which occupies a prominent position in academic, professional and political debates, including with regard to training for educational inclusion. Both themes are supported by national and international documents and legislation, as well as being widely discussed and researched by numerous scholars. The general aim of this book is to identify, from the perspective of teachers working at the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso (IFMT), what the gaps, needs and interests are in terms of teacher professional development to meet the demands of inclusive education, as well as to examine how attitudes, experiences with inclusion and training relate to the professional development needs that the teachers themselves identify and the need they feel to continue seeking knowledge.
