Consequently, they hold hopes for an improved inclusive education system. This research investigates the challenges and aspirations of shadow teachers regarding the implementation of inclusive education at SDN Pajang 1. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study collects data through observation, interviews, and documentation of experiences. Findings reveal that SDN Pajang 1 has embraced inclusive education with the aid of shadow teachers. Challenges include inadequate resource support, ineffective training, and managing students' tantrums. Hopes for inclusive education involve better resources, collaborative efforts, and due recognition for these dedicated educators. The limitations in the design or methodology of this research are the result of the implementation of inclusive education, which has led to issues that pose challenges for special needs teachers and their hopes for the welfare of children with special needs and inclusive education. Recommendations include the need to increase the number and competence of shadow teachers, as well as to maximize the fulfillment of the needs of children with special needs and shadow teachers.]]>
