School leaders play a key role in improving inclusion in schools.
However, information on the practices promoted by headteachers
to promote inclusion in their institutions is still scarce. The article
analyses the degree of implementation of actions undertaken by
principals to favor inclusion in compulsory education schools from
the perspective of families and teaching teams. 631 families and
420 teachers from the city of Granada (Spain) participated in the
research. It is a quantitative study and follows a comparative design
based on survey. In order to collect information the questionnaire
Leading Inclusive Education in Compulsory Education Schools was
used in its two versions (LIE-Q-Teaching Team and LIE-Q-Families).
The data obtained were subjected to both descriptive and inferential analysis. The results reveal that, in the opinion of teachers and families, most actions implemented by school headteachers to
favor inclusion, are those that favor the opening of the school to
the community and its surroundings. The study has made it possible to verify, among other things, that there are differences in the
perception of the inclusion practices of school leaders in compulsory education depending on the group analyzed (family or teaching teams).
