The purpose of this study is to explore the ways that can be applied in the inclusive classroom of elementary school by using co-teaching for character education. It is a literature study analyzing 40 related literature. The results of this study are as follows: First, character education in an inclusive classroom of elementary school should be centered on virtues such as understanding, consideration, respect, empathy, and sharing for others based on inclusive values in an environment w here diversity such as disability, culture, and language coexist. Second, when conducting character education in inclusive classroom, the types of supportive teaching, parallel teaching, complementary teaching, and team teaching can be used. Third, teachers can serve as an example for students by appropriately utilizing co-teaching. And teachers should conduct experience-centered activities (story-telling, fairy tales, role-playing, discussion, etc.) rather than theory-centered throughout the curriculum. It is clear that co-teaching is an effective strategy for all teachers and students. Therefore, it must be properly utilized for character education in inclusive classroom of elementary schools. However, sufficient time should be given to cooperation planning so that co-teaching can proceed smoothly, and there is a need to revitalize a school culture that encourages teachers' cooperation.
