Educational inclusion is a complex process that includes many aspects related to systemic and organizational activities. In implementing inclusion, the complex and demanding role of teachers is cited as one of the most important factors. Primarily, teachers are expected to understand inclusive values and inclusive education, to have positive attitude towards diversity, to support all students and encourage their education; to collaborate with other professionals and be a reflective practitioners ready for continuous improvement. Without qualified, competent and motivated teachers, it is not possible to develop inclusive culture and inclusive education. When it comes to the inclusion of children with developmental disabilities, study results indicate that a significant number of teachers do not feel ready to implement inclusive education and that school communities are slow in developing inclusive educational ethos. The aim of the paper is to present the results of research related to the basic values of teachers' professional development and teaching aimed at students with developmental disabilities
