摘要

The purpose of this study is to identify the behaviors and beliefs of two high school principals, in a given school context, which are perceived by the principals and their staffs to influence staff attitudes toward special education.;The role of the principals is explored through two case studies. A discussion of the principals' beliefs and behaviors is presented, as well as a description of the school buildings and their respective surroundings to assist the reader in gaining a sense of each school.;The principals were selected based on the nomination of selected special education directors. These directors were asked to recommend principals they felt were exemplary in dealing with special education programs in their buildings. The use of exemplary principals allowed for a description of behaviors used by principals who are supportive of special education.;The data collection consisted of semi-structured interviews, limited observation, and a review of submitted documents. The participants interviewed were the principals, special education teachers, the special education department heads, and parents of students with disabilities. Observations of the principal and special education classrooms were conducted, as well as a review of the principals' job description, the school districts' administrative handbook for special education which contained policies and procedures, and at one site a recent evaluation of the principal.;Throughout the collection of data, an ongoing analysis was conducted. As data was obtained it was examined and categorized based on emerging trends. Upon completion of data collection an intensive data analysis was conducted. This process consisted of compressing and linking together the data, leading the investigator to reasonable conclusions based on a preponderance of the data.;The study found that the attitude of the principals toward special education was a key factor influencing their behavior. The organizational structure of these high schools prevented the principal from being involved in day-to-day activities of special education, but their symbolic behaviors sent a clear message that special education was important. In addition, the study found that the special education department chairperson was a key building leader for special education.
