Abstract

Cross-university pairs of teacher education candidate researchers (TECR) viewed Ted Talks on inclusion and used the Classroom Culture Characteristics for Inclusion (3CI) instrument to identify specific components of inclusion. Additionally, teams wrote a personal definition of inclusion and highlighted their major takeaway. The TECR reflections and 3CI responses were coded and evaluated. This evaluation formed the basis of post-research discussions and provided a model for future assessment of inclusion. The use of research-based evaluation criteria is encouraged when determining the components of inclusion in a classroom, school, or lecture.
