School Leaders and Inclusive Education in Peru: A Case Study of Principal Leadership in an Effective Inclusive School
Abstract
Since the adoption of the inclusive education (IE) approach, the Peruvian Ministry of Education has made improvements to the normative regarding special educational needs (SEN) students.However, implementing this reform continues to present numerous challenges.A recent study of the IE policy, conducted in 2016, concluded that the key problem was the lack of sensitization and low training of school leaders and teachers which prevented them from providing a better educational service to SEN students [43].The evidence that links the role of principal leaders and IE is almost non-existent in the Peruvian context.Therefore, this qualitative case study seeks to fill this research gap by exploring the challenges, strategies, and training needs of school leaders in an inclusive school in Peru.The study was conducted in a school with a high performing school leader where it was believed that a more positive environment towards reform implementation could be found.Interview data was collected from school leaders, the administrative support staff, and teachers.The findings of this research work conclude that the selected school has been significantly successful in implementing the reform by promoting inclusive values within the school, working with the school community to improve school climate for inclusion, and developing professional learning communities to develop pedagogical strategies for inclusive teaching.This research provides important inputs for the design and implementation of leadership policies and preparation programs with attention to students with disabilities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
