This study investigated teachers feelings before the challenges of the school practice of inclusion. The sample involved 10 teachers teaching grades 1 to 4 working in public schools in the city of Osasco and surrounding areas. Participants were selected on the basis of whether they taught in inclusive classes with special education students. Data were collected through questionnaires and classified for content analysis. According to the findings, teachers feelings involved frustration, lack of adequate preparation, and lack of confidence before the challenge of dealing with special education students in mainstream classrooms. Predominant feelings were lack of confidence, frustration, isolation, anxiety, lack of preparation, and anguish due to difficulties such as lack of resources and lack of adequate teaching methods for inclusion. The analysis of teachers feelings and difficulties suggested implications for improving inclusion in schools, such as: (a) the implementation of school policies geared towards improving work conditions, (b) the improvement of teacher and staff training, and (c) more opportunities for teachers working on affective components of their practice. All these should foster collaboration among teachers and a deeper reflection on their actions as a way to assure a more meaningful professional practice that supports a deeper concern with the needs of each student, which is the very principle of school inclusion
