The growing number of children with disabilities who are served in general education classrooms has made it necessary for general and special education teachers to work together to ensure that all students receive an appropriate education. As the instructional leader, the school principal is presented with the challenge of facilitating and guiding effective collaborative relationships among teachers. This article presents a brief discussion of collaboration in inclusive high school classrooms and describes how administrators can facilitate the effective use of collaboration skills.
