Contribution
This paper presents a qualitative research involving Icelandic primary school teachers´ experiences and understanding of teachers roles in inclusive schools.
The overall aim of the study is to explore, describe and interpret the ideas and understanding of primary school teachers about the teacher in an inclusive school and how a different cultural background and the predominant education policy shapes teachers‘ ideas and understanding
The Icelandic data is analysed et.al. through the lens of comparable Dutch data in order to highlight the impact of different cultural background and different exclusionary school system, and the experience and understanding of the teachers and how this reflect their attitude to the policy and its implementation.
