As part of the project, all partners collected good practices. In order to cover the whole field, the work focused on three target groups / three levels.

The collection of good practices and the analysis of data allowed us to look at existing experiences in different countries in relation to all target groups and at all levels, but with a particular focus on the international level.

A total of 333 good practices were collected and evaluated during the project. Most of them in English (278), but a significant number are also in Bulgarian (32) and Turkish (19).

Although some of the good practices are not in English, all of the descriptions are, and can be translated and adapted as needed (at the request of Asian partners).

Title of practice:	Handbook for Teachers on Inclusive Education
Author/developer:	Central Board of Secondary Education, Academic Unit, Shiksha Sadan, 17, Rouse Avenue, New Delhi - 110002
Language:	English
Description of good practice:	CBSE has, thus, made mandatory provisions for schools to accommodate children with special needs by stipulating provisions on disability-specific learning aids, adoption of alternate pedagogies as per the need of the child, and concessions in the scheme of studies and examinations for all categories of disabilities stipulated in the Persons with Disabilities Act 2016. Since it is critical to disseminate authentic information to all stakeholders for optimizing the impact of the inclusive provisions, the Board planned multiple measures to sensitise schools and the present handbook happens to be a part of this series. Apart from information on various issues related to inclusion in schools, the handbook aims at supporting teachers in the identification of children with special needs, putting the idea of a barrier-free environment into perspective, letting them know about different instructional designs, lesson plans, assistive technologies, documentation, information on special provisions available to special children, and techniques of assessment to help them as they create meaningful student learning experiences.
