Son yıllarda sınıflarda ve okullarda öğretmen ve yöneticiler artan çeşitlilikle birlikte birçok zorlukla karşı karşıyadırlar. Bu çalışma ile okullarda okul müdürlerinin sergilediği kapsayıcı liderlik uygulamalarının gerçekleşip gerçekleşmediğini ve ne ölçüde gerçekleştiği vurgulamak istenmiştir. Buradan yola çıkarak araştırmada gelişmekte ve yakın geçmişte yoğun mülteci akınıyla karşı karşıya kalan bir ülke olarak Türkiye’de okullarda okul müdürlerinin sergilediği kapsayıcı liderlik uygulamalarını ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada karma yöntem desenlerinden yakınsayan desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel boyutu betimsel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama çalışması deseni ile nitel boyutu ise nitel araştırma desenlerinden fenomenoloji deseni ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini 2021-2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında Şanlıurfa ili merkez ilçelerinde mülteci öğrencisi olan ilkokul, ortaokul ve liselerde görev yapmakta olan öğretmenler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada kapsayıcı liderlikle ilgili olarak öğretmenlerin görüşlerine başvurulmuştur. Nicel boyutta veri toplamak üzere Hollander (2008) tarafından geliştirilen, Okçu ve Deviren (2020) tarafından Türk kültürüne uyarlanan Kapsayıcı Liderlik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın nitel boyutundaki veriler toplanırken görüşme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Görüşmelerde yarı yapılandırılmış yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. Veri toplama sürecine başlamadan önce etik kurul onayı alınmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel boyutunun verileri SPSS 26.0 programı kullanılarak, nitel boyutunda elde edilen veriler ise betimsel analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen bulgular genel manada dikkate alındığında yoğun göçle ani bir şekilde karşı karşıya kalan bir ülke olarak Türkiye’de yine yoğun göçle karşı karşıya kalan Şanlıurfa ilindeki okullarda görev yapmakta olan okul müdürlerinin kapsayıcı liderlik uygulamalarını başarılı bir şekilde sergilediklerini söylemek mümkündür. Bu sonuç her iki toplumun tarihi, kültürel ve inanç yakınlıklarının bulunması ile ilişkilendirilebilir.
