<![CDATA[Inclusive education has become a national program in Indonesia, but its implementation still faces various challenges, especially among teachers who need support to provide optimal services for students with special needs. This research aims to explore inclusive classroom management strategies at Smart Auladi Cirebon Middle School to support the development of students according to their individual potential, conditions and characteristics. A descriptive qualitative approach was used by collecting data through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out thematically to identify challenges, strategies and solutions for implementing inclusive classroom management. The research results show that the main challenges include teachers' limited understanding of inclusive concepts, less effective classroom management, and a lack of supporting resources. The strategies implemented include teacher training, collaboration with parents, and the use of individual approaches in teaching. This research recommends the development of sustainable training programs, the provision of adequate resources, and the implementation of integrated, inclusive classroom management guidelines. It is hoped that these findings can become a reference for similar schools in improving the quality of inclusive education in a sustainable manner.
