Today children can be taught in di erent ways. There are di erent methods and approaches
that teachers can use to teach students in a today’s class, however since each of us as teachers
h
ave students with specifi c learning di culties in the class, it is our responsibility to fi nd
a
nd embrace the way of learning for all students that have been entrusted to us in this Nobel
p
rofession so not one child is le behind!
I
ntegrating all students with speci
fi
c learning di
culties can be organized
f
rom the curriculum
s
tructure, involving parents and community activities outside of the class however all of this
requires great engagement and cooperation with school authorities, di erent individuals,
family and also community.
Currently in Kosovo, the integration o
f
students with speci
fi
c learning di
culties requires
a
dditional e orts, training, motivation and also a su cient level of sensitivity and patience
.
S
o in order to integrate students with specifi c learning di culties, aims and objectives need to
b
e carefully planned with positive interactions, interactive approaches between students with
s
peci
fi
c learning di
culties and those with normal intelligence so all students
f
eel com
f
ortable
with each-other in a re
g
ular school environment.
This research aims to explain the steps that should be taken in order to increase the learning
motivation in inclusive education and it also presents the di
culties that teachers
f
ace and
ways to overcome
