Abstract
Educational leadership is an important component that attempts to improve education at all levels because it engages, encourages, and integrates with all stakeholders, including students, parents, and educators. Effective educational leadership has a significant impact on inclusive educational practices as it strongly contributes to student performance both inside and outside of the institution. The formulation of effective collaboration and the implementation of tailored educational programmes in an inclusive framework are indeed the primary concerns of effective educational leadership. This chapter presents evidence from the existing literature that focuses on educational leaders' role and responsibility in promoting and implementing inclusive practices, educational leaders as change agents for inclusive education, transformational leadership and inclusive education, and finally, the initiatives and actions taken by educational leaders in transforming inclusive education.
