Abstract

One of the indicators of creating inclusive culture is a good partnership between parents and teachers so that the expected objective of inclusive education can be achieved. However, schools do not have opportunities structure for teachers and parents to collaborate in establishing inclusive culture at schools. This research aims at giving an overview of opportunities structure of the partnership between teachers and parents to create inclusive culture. This research uses narrative method with qualitative approach. The data collection is conducted by examining a semi-structured interview with partnership indicators between teachers and parents adapted from Booth and Ainscow. The participants in this research are principal, teachers, and students’ parents at playgroup and kindergarten in the region of East Jakarta. The result of the research points out that there is opportunities structure built by the school to establish the partnership between teachers and parents through parenting activity (an education for parents) and the involvement of parents in a grand meeting that aims at socializing the program and the decision making. However, the inclusive culture is not yet developing optimally, so that it still needs other strategy in establishing other opportunities structure to develop the indicator of partnership between teachers and parents in establishing inclusive culture at school.
