This study sought to ascertain teachers' and school administrators' preparedness and practices in inclusive education. The descriptive-correlation analysis utilizing the survey technique was used. Through random sampling a survey questionnaire was administered to 357 teachers and 27 administrators in the public schools in the division of Agusan del Norte. Findings have shown that as to the level of preparedness for inclusive education of teachers and administrators in terms of school leadership, school climate, curriculum instruction, individual student support, and teachers' knowledge, skills and attitudes, individual student support got the highest mean (4.05). As to the extent of inclusive education practices among teachers and administrators, the overall mean is 3.94 which implies that there is a positive inclusive education implementation. Moreover, data reveal that there is a significant relationship between the participants' level of preparedness in the implementation of inclusive education and their practices. Thus, the result of this study can pave the path for more meaningful inclusive education implementation in all the schools in Agusan del Norte Division.
