This paper reports on processes employed at a secondary state high school in Australia, where students directed inclusive school development. The procedures used in the study were developed from the Index for Inclusion and included a student forum; a student presentation to parents, principal and teachers and a focus group interview with members of the school community. These procedures were designed to empower students to participate in school review and planning and evaluate the procedures developed from the Index for Inclusion. Samples of interview data from the school principal, staff, parents and the students illustrate a growing understanding of what inclusive education means for members of this school community. The research extends understandings of inclusive education in schools, from a focus on students with disabilities to a much broader philosophy that influences school culture, policy and practice for the diversity of students at the school. Discussion about feeling part of a ‘family’ in the school community and the description of the procedures linked to actions for change, provide evidence of a developing inclusive school culture that will inform educators interested in inclusive school development.

Furthermore, system support and shaping the inclusive culture is necessary to realize the inclusive education and teaching practices.[Penelitian ini mencoba untuk mengungkap persepsi siswa difabel mengenai praktik pendidikan dan pembelajaran inklusif di salah satu SMA Inklusi di Yogyakarta. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan mengambil satu studi kasus yang melibatkan dua orang siswa difabel (Tuli dan tuna netra) sebagai responden melalui teknik purposive sampling. Data diungkap dengan wawancara semi terbuka, analisis dokumen dan observasi terhadap bangunan fisik dan media pembelajaran. Data kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik content-analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan siswa memiliki persepsi yang cukup baik terhadap pelaksanaan pendidikan dan pembelajaran inklusif. Menurut siswa, praktik pembelajaran inklusif akan lebih bermakna jika aksesibilitas terhadap materi-materi pelajaran semakin dipermudah dengan menyediakan berbagai macam sumber belajar yang bervariasi, termasuk cara guru dalam menyampaikan pelajaran perlu menggunakan berbagai metode. Selain itu, dukungan sistem dan penciptaan budaya inklusif juga harus selalu dipupuk agar warga sekolah mampu mewujudkan praktik pendidikan dan pembelajaran inklusif yang seharusnya.]

Hablar de inclusión a nivel de centro inevitablemente lleva consigo hablar de una relación activa y positiva entre familia y escuela. En esta línea, se ha constatado la importancia de la participación de las familias en los centros escolares y su consecuente mejora en el rendimiento académico del alumnado; considerándose un factor clave en la prevención del abandono escolar. Este artículo se centra en determinar la perspectiva de las familias respecto al liderazgo inclusivo desarrollado por los equipos directivos, tales como los procesos de apertura hacia la comunidad y acciones que promuevan la participación, cooperación y reflexión hacia la diversidad en pro de un aprendizaje para todos. Se trata de una investigación cuantitativa de carácter descriptivo; la muestra estuvo compuesta por familiares de alumnos (N = 150). Utilizamos como herramienta el cuestionario: “Liderando la Educación Inclusiva” (LEI-Q). Los resultados muestran que las familias consideran que sus equipos directivos han implantado “sustancialmente” la mayor parte de las acciones que contribuyen a que sus centros sean inclusivos, promoviendo estrategias que reduzcan el abandono escolar. De esta manera se hace notable la necesidad de involucrar a las familias, para garantizar el éxito educativo y estimular a finalizar los estudios obligatorios y a continuar con una formación posterior. Talking about inclusion at a school level inevitably “involves an active and positive relationship between families and schools” (Simón, Giné y Echeita, 2016, p. 26). Along these lines, the importance of family participation in schools has been reported to lead to improvements in students’ academic performance, which, in turn, stands out as a key factor in the prevention of early school leaving. This article aims to determine the views of families on inclusive leadership measures developed by management teams, such as (i) opening the center to the community and the environment; and (ii) actions to encourage participation, address diversity, and prevent and manage conflict in centers so that learning can be for everybody. This is a descriptive quantitative investigation. In this sense, our sample is composed of students’ relatives (N = 150), who were asked to complete the questionnaire “Leading Inclusive Education” (LEI-Q) (León et al., 2016). This research is an ex post-facto cross-sectional investigation of a descriptive nature. The results obtained indicate that families perceive the efforts made by school management teams to foster inclusive schools, which, in turn, promotes strategies that reduce school dropout. In this way, it is essential to involve families in order to guarantee educational success and stimulate students’ completion of compulsory education and to continue their further training.

We are living today the challenge of instrumentalizing schools in a way that meets all the subjects respecting diversity. It is up to school management to work collectively to consolidate public educational policies that ensure the right to education for all. Managing actions become even more necessary when we perceive the increase of students with disabilities who reach the Youth and Adult Education Mode, leading us to understand the role of the management team in the construction of an inclusive school. The objective was to analyze the planning of actions of the school that contemplates the realization of the national policy of special education with focus on the execution and evaluation of these actions. Through of a qualitative approach and study of multiple case, in two municipal schools in Salvador, involving 16 subjects, we investigated if the official documents of the school contemplate actions that aim the inclusion of the person with disability in the EJA and how the management team manages the resources for the reach of them. The research reveals the need to redefine the internal performance of the manager, to achieve bigger articulation between the school management and the municipal secretaria for the implementation of an inclusive education in the EJA.

AbstractEducation is an important thing in human life. The success of an educational institution is largely determined by the leadership role of the principal. The principal is required to be able to bring the school towards the achievement of predetermined goals. Currently, the city of Yogyakarta has established an inclusive school policy as contained in the Regulation of the Governor of the Special Region of Yogyakarta Number 21 of 2013 Article 3 concerning the Implementation of Inclusive Education as a form of equity and a form of education without discrimination. However, in reality this policy is not yet clearly known by school principals, so it requires appropriate leadership strategies in dealing with problems and managing good inclusive schools to improve school quality. One of them is SMPN 2 Yogyakarta, which transforms the regular school system into an inclusive school. Therefore, this study aims to identify and describe the issues of inclusive education faced by the principal of SMP Negeri 2 Yogyakarta as well as to describe the leadership strategy of the principal in overcoming issues of school principals in inclusive schools at SMPN 2 Yogyakarta. This research uses descriptive qualitative research with data collection methods using interview techniques, observation, and documentation. The achievements of SMPN 2 Yogyakarta after following the policy to turn schools into inclusive schools include: sports and journalism.
