The criteria (motivational, content, procedural and behavioural, reflexive) and the levels of their formation (high, medium, low) were developed to evaluate the future teachers’ formed readiness to organize educational process in conditions of inclusive education. Experimental implementation of the developed methodology testified positive results in the level of formation of future educators’ readiness.
