Abstract
In March 2020, schools worldwide closed due to COVID-19 and students were required to continue learning from home. Following a review of principles for inclusive practice in schools, we share related literature focusing on how school systems employed these principles during online delivery. After describing emergent themes, we provide a commentary suggesting that the online learning environment resembled the “building of a plane, while flying”. Although there was disregard of a number of principles globally, positive stories are also shared to disseminate ideas for moving forward. We conclude with some key recommendations for future development of inclusive education in schools.
