The development of an inclusive curriculum for elementary school education is an urgent need in order to provide equal opportunities for all students, including those with special needs, to access quality education. An inclusive curriculum is designed to accommodate individual differences in the teaching and learning process, create an inclusive educational environment, and promote the values of diversity and inclusion in schools. This study aims to develop and analyze an inclusive curriculum in elementary schools by reviewing relevant curriculum components and their effectiveness in supporting the engagement and development of students from various backgrounds and abilities. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, where data is collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The sample of this study consisted of teachers, principals, students, and support staff in several elementary schools that have implemented an inclusive curriculum . Observations were conducted to directly observe the implementation of the inclusive curriculum in the classroom, while in-depth interviews with teachers and principals aimed to explore perceptions, obstacles, and needs in developing the curriculum. The data obtained were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify emerging patterns and themes, and to examine factors that support and hinder the successful implementation of the inclusive curriculum.
