Abstract

Abstract: Effective training of special education teachers is an essential component of Special Needs Education in Nigeria.. Special Education teachers are often overwhelmed with the various challenges of working with students with a wide range of sensory, physical and intellectual/cognitive impairments as well as students with multiple impairments. This makes classroom management inevitable to enable these categories of students benefit maximally from classroom instruction in general and inclusive classroom settings. This paper examines the efficacy of training special education teachers on classroom management in inclusive settings. To set the tone for the discussion, the concept of classroom management was presented. Classroom management in inclusive settings was examined. Similarly, teacher preparation programmes for effective management in inclusive settings is presented. Finally, it is therefore recommended that the National Policy on Inclusive Education in Nigeria should be adequately developed and implemented and to ensure that inclusive education programmes are developed based on the stated philosophy of education in planning education programmes.
