This book supports the professional learning of school principals,
and those who aspire to be such, in development of their skills and
knowledge around fostering inclusive schools for students with
special education needs. The book includes 27 case stories that are
based on research with school principals. Each case includes expert
commentaries and resources to support principals and emerging
leaders as they consider how to effectively support students with
special education needs in inclusive schools. Its premise is based
on the recognition that there are increasing numbers of students
with disabilities and special education needs in neighbourhood
schools. Principals need to develop new competencies to navigate
the challenges, and benefits, of including students with special
education needs into inclusive classroom settings. The book
provides opportunities to build leadership competencies by
considering a diversity of cases related to inclusive leadership.
The cases in the book are divided among nine sections addressing
the following areas: transitions, early years, elementary school
cases, secondary school cases, community supports, school
board/district supports, school teams, complex cases, and cases
specific to new teachers. Seven cross-cutting themes are addressed
in these cases including: communication, parents/caregivers,
agency/efficacy, collaboration, relationships/trust, legal, and
advocacy.
