Abstract: Introduction. The article presents the results of a pilot study that allows describing the dynamics in building teachers’ readiness to implement inclusive education based on the development of inclusive competencies (regional aspect). A description is given of the developed educational modular interactive course for teachers, which is available in the public domain and allows for the development of the necessary competencies.
Materials and Methods. The content of the article is based on the study of readiness for the implementation of inclusive education and the formation of the necessary inclusive competencies among teachers of general educational general education organizations in Saratov and the Saratov region. Based on the available research methods, we compiled a questionnaire aimed at collecting information on the knowledge, understanding of the content and possession of inclusive competencies by school teachers.
Results. The identified lack of readiness to implement inclusive education across all components of inclusive competence necessitated the development of an educational digital resource – a modular course that provides for interactivity, exchange of experience and online support for teachers.
Discussion and Conclusion. Positive initial feedback on the usefulness of the developed resource indicates the feasibility of continuing the presented work. The practical significance confirmed by this study allows us to recommend the modular interactive course for replication in the pedagogical environment.
