Opis

This study describes change processes that selected middle school principals demonstrated to initiate, plan, implement, and monitor special education inclusion programs at their schools. Seventy-five principals, general and special education teachers, and paraprofessionals from four selected middle schools have worked together in their respective special education inclusion programs for a minimum of two years. Survey data and interviews were analyzed to find key processes that principals demonstrated during four phases of the change process.
