Schools must continuously adapt to societal changes and external expectations. Getting school teams involved in this ongoing development is not self-evident. The role of the school leader is also essential here. A supportive school culture seems necessary, but how can this culture arise? There is increasing evidence that by creating cooperative structures within and between schools, targeted work can be done on school development and on fostering a gradually growing supportive culture. Within these structures, attention is for instance paid to participatory vision development, professional development through learning from and with each other, linked to concrete (didactic) co-creation, supporting coaching structures, etc. This symposium brings research-based insights from three real-world applications.

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is increasingly recognized as an important objective of education. The ability to plan, monitor, and regulate one's learning activities is linked to student motivation and academic success (Dent & Koenka, 2015). SRL has also been suggested as a key competence to initiate and maintain lifelong learning (Cornford, 2002). Despite the widespread acknowledgment of the significance of SRL, promoting SRL continues to be challenging. This symposium presents a collection of three research papers, each offering a perspective on promoting SRL across different educational levels.

Canadian scholars have made significant impacts on inclusive education across the globe. The UN’s 2016 call to action for equitable and inclusive education for all children by 2030, prompted many nations to examine their current education practices specific to children with disabilities and work to ensure all children have access to participate fully in school. This symposium brings together scholars to discuss Canada’s connection and impact to inclusive education at multiple levels from policy to schools, in various parts of the world.
