Students and Leadership for Inclusion

Including Students in Leadership and Teaching

  • Chapter
Leadership for Inclusive Education

Part of the book series: Studies in Inclusive Education ((STUIE,volume 18))

Abstract

A central tenet underpinning the rationale of this book is that school leadership is relevant to inclusion in education. This chapter set out to explore the involvement on the part of students in inclusive school leadership. Paraphrasing Freire (Horton and Freire, 1990, p. 107), there is no education without educators, no education without students and no education without certain objects to be learned.
