Innovation strategy at the level of municipal government – the case of inclusive education

Diversity pedagogy and inclusive education – understood as the integration of the
representatives of heterogeneous groups into the educational community – is as an example of a very up-to-date, socially important innovation, which requires serious, systematic approach to its generation and diffusion. The paper shows that successful implementation of such innovation depends not only on what part of the population considers it to be socially useful, but also on the consistent and, in the long term perspective, logical steps taken to implement and disseminate the innovation. Such consistency can be accomplished most effectively within the
framework of the strategic plan of innovation implementation.
