  text: "Previous research has identified the importance of teacher attitudes and
    self-efficacy in supporting inclusive education. This study involved a multi-national
    exploration of a further dimension of\r\ninclusive education, collective efficacy,
    through the testing of a new tool, the Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practice-Collective
    (TEIP-C) Scale. The study also aimed to investigate whether teacher\r\nattitudes,
    self-efficacy, collective efficacy and intention to teach in inclusive classrooms
    differ across countries. Participants included 1,523 teachers from Canada, Greece,
    Italy and Switzerland. Results\r\nsuggested a two-factor structure for the TEIP-C,
    Engagement, and Inclusive Pedagogies, with strong internal consistency for the
    scale. Several differences across countries were identified, with teachers\r\nfrom
    Italy reporting more positive attitudes towards inclusion and a greater intention
    to teach in inclusive classrooms. Implications of the study in terms of further
    strengthening inclusive practice are\r\ndiscussed."
