- Abstract
Despite the clear worldwide school inclusion initiative, translating the widely embraced notions of inclusive education into differentiated teaching practice has been recognized as a common difficulty. Based on replies from 780 educators in inclusive schools in Beijing, China, this study explored how distributed leadership contributes to teachers' use of differentiated teaching, the mediation role of teacher leadership for inclusion, and teachers' professional competencies of inclusive education. The results suggest that principals' distributed leadership directly influences teachers' employment of differentiated instruction. Teacher leadership for inclusion and professional competencies of inclusive education play a serial mediating role in the relationship between distributed principalship and teachers' use of differentiated instruction. Implications for implementing inclusive practices were further discussed.
