This article describes a conference held in Vancouver, Canada, that explored school leadership, inclusion, and Indigeneity. The conference, entitled Exploring Intersectionalities for Leadership and School Inclusion, provided an opportunity for educational scholars, government policy-makers, Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, school system leaders, principals, and teachers to examine how school principals can support students with special education needs in inclusive schools. This article provides the rationale, background, logistical details, and deliverables of the conference. In the conclusion, questions are raised that require further exploration in the field of inclusion and school leadership.

The main goal of this article is to describe the legal status and situation of disabled learners in Poland, the UK and in other European countries. The author wishes to analyze whether the trends advocated by the principles of Political Correctness (PC) have influenced the language used in the educational context, and, in particular, towards students of special education needs (SEN). The article attempts to demonstrate that neither English nor Polish are sufficiently polite in terms of describing, categorizing, evaluating or naming all the learners, who, owing to their mental or physical impairment, have Special Educational Needs.

We examine the process of developing web-based case studies, a novel form of professional learning for principals, specifically related to inclusive school leadership. Based on the input from 39 principals, 5 case studies were developed with branching scenarios that provided multiple options for decision-making. These “choose your own adventure” case studies were used in a special education for school administrators course with 109 participants in Ontario, Canada. We consider the authenticity of the cases, the importance of incorporating multiple perspectives, and issues related to function, form, and choice. We incorporate five lessons for developing web-based case studies.
