Inclusive Special Education

Principals and assistant principals, collectively referred to as<em> school leaders</em>, play instrumental roles in ensuring the success of inclusive special education in the schools they oversee. However, school leaders continually report they lack the knowledge and skills to effectively oversee quality inclusive special education programs. There are very few training programs available to school leaders that focus on leading inclusive special education programs. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide school leaders with nine tips, along with 11 immediately implementable practical strategies, to improve upon the inclusive special education programs in their schools. Topics include pertinent definitions, laws, and concepts associated with inclusion; models of coteaching; transformational leadership theory and traits; roles and responsibilities of school leaders in inclusive education programs; and practical strategies to implement to improve upon current inclusive education practices. This article is designed to be used with emerging, new, and experienced school leaders.

The US Office of Education has been involved in the support of educational research related to the handicapped for slightly over ten years. During this period the level of support, breadth of program, and flexibility of funding have consistently and significantly improved. Most important, the role of the US Office of Education has changed from one of passive reaction to the professional community to one of active leadership in the advancement of the field of special education. Programs instituted by the Division of Research within the past year and expanding authority provided by new legislation promise even greater development during the coming years.

The growing concern about planning and providing effective physical facilities for special education programs is presented. Particular emphasis is focused on the inadequacy of decisions made by special educators and architects regarding the nature of the physical environment in the absence of empirically obtained evidence. Supporting the need for such research, some of the difficulties encountered—the isolation of variables, management techniques, and design—are discussed.
