ABSTRACT
This book is concerned with what teacher educators can learn from multiple insider perspectives to inform teacher education for more inclusive education. School principals are central to this topic, because they are considered to be insiders who can provide some of the most useful perspectives on teacher education for inclusion. Therefore, the focus of this chapter is the views of school principals on initial teacher education (ITE) that promotes inclusive education in New Zealand. The following questions guide the discussion in this chapter:
What are the perspectives of school principals on a new teacher education initiative in New Zealand that emphasizes special/inclusive education?
What can teacher educators learn from these perspectives?
