Abstract

This paper explores how schools are organized and the role of middle management within them. It examines how certain systemic figures influence decision-making within schools. It specifically looks at how certain systemic figures, (school leaders) influence deci-sion-making in schools, focusing on their role in promoting inclusion. The discussion centers on the concept of distributive leadership, where these figures play a key role in fostering high-quality inclusive practices. The paper argues that inclusive school leaders should have a diverse set of skills, including both technical and non-technical abilities like agency, reflexivity, and a willingness to enact change. By empowering teachers to be agents of change, with awareness and intentionality, this leadership approach can facilitate the development of in-clusive processes in schools.
