Descripción
Sumario:The objective of this paper is to understand, describe and explore the skills and/or practices used in the exercise of management leadership related to good educational practices in inclusion-oriented educational centers. Based on research designed for case studies, the perceptions of the Directors, management teams and educational professionals from three educational institutions of Obligatory Secondary Education in Spain are analyzed, each one having been selected for their specific characteristics. The techniques used for the collection of information were documental analysis, in-depth interviews and discussion groups. Among the findings, the authors highlight the importance of leadership skills with regard to the promotion of cultural inclusion based on the assumptions, principals, beliefs and values linked to the pedagogical actions of the educational center.
