Clinical training at Japanese nursing universities has an increasing need for individualized learning support for students with potential learning disabilities. Despite a high interest in student support, educators' difficulties are neglected. This study clarified the difficulties encountered by practical training instructors in delivering clinical training to nursing students with potential learning disabilities. In this descriptive, qualitative study, online focus group interviews were conducted. Participants were nine Japanese nursing university graduates with over five years of clinical education experience. A total of five categories were extracted: searching for measures tailored to students in a short period of time during training; resistance to individualized responses that significantly differ from traditional Japanese collectivist education; conflict over support being perceived as favoring a particular student; hesitation to identify students' limits; and barriers in the process of supporting difficulties due to the nature of learning disabilities. Practical training instructors experience difficulties and hesitation when teaching students with potential learning disabilities. The practical training instructors need support and educational opportunities as well as students who need help. To overcome these difficulties, university educational staff, as well as students and families, must be educated on the existence and value of support tailored to the characteristics of an individual's learning disability.

Background: In light of the increasing diversity within school populations globally, a pressing need arises for nations to prioritise the enhancement of teachers' competencies in implementing inclusive education, recognising the central role teacher education programmes play in addressing this imperative. Teacher education programmes centred on inclusion not only respond to this global priority but also wield influence on teachers' attitudes, self-efficacy and stress levels when engaging with diverse learners.
Objectives: The study presents an analysis of the effectiveness of a teacher education programme in Ethiopia in developing teachers' competencies for inclusion.

Objective: Our study sought to determine if participation in a simulated Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting improved pediatric medical residents' attitudes toward the IEP team as an interprofessional health care team.
Methods: Pediatric medical residents on the Developmental-Behavioral and Advocacy rotations at an urban medical center participated in a simulated IEP eligibility meeting for a case of a fourth grader with a specific learning disability. Standardized actors portrayed the child's parent, principal, school psychologist, and classroom teacher.
Graduates of special education teacher education programs can teach in a range of special education settings, raising the potential that their training can occur in very different settings than where they find their first jobs. We follow 263 completers of Moderate Disabilities programs in Massachusetts from their field placements to their early-career teaching positions and study the characteristics of their field placements and the degree to which these are aligned with their early-career teaching positions. We also assess the degree to which alignment is associated with early-career teacher turnover.
