Abstract

Inclusive education aims at fully accepting the different abilities of children, responding to teachers in all their learning needs, and treating them equally, without discrimination. Inequalities within schools, especially for students with disabilities, are now a daily challenge for education leaders. Leadership training and education programs should be designed to promote socially just leaders in education, who are called upon to create appropriate learning spaces in which all children can learn. Special education emerges as the most delicate and difficult issue that education leaders must deal with. Providing equal opportunities to all students, even those in need of special education, can and should be primarily a moral concern of leadership. School leadership is the means by which inclusive education is developed. The aim of this chapter is to highlight all the necessary steps to improve inclusion in schools.
