Abstract
The following study investigates inclusive teaching strategies in Business Studies and Accounting classrooms in post-primary schools within the Republic of Ireland (RoI). Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through semi-structured interviews with five teachers within a DEIS school. Through thematic analysis, findings highlighted the use of differentiated instruction and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to address diverse student needs. The results of the study presented challenges such as large class sizes and limited resources. The results also emphasised the positive impact the DEIS initiative has had. This study closes with recommendations which include enhancing teacher professional development and increasing resource allocation to support inclusive practices effectively.
