The paper presents the results of a content analysis looking for examples of good practice in inclusive schools, specifically looking for factors that increase the quality of inclusive education in schools. The main method chosen was the aforementioned content analysis of available foreign research investigations. The documents for analysis were defined by the data set - type of source documents, content analysed and time period. Based on this specification, 12 research investigations were selected and further analysed by axial coding. The results show a significant agreement of the selected researches in the following areas: school leadership - qualified and knowledgeable principal; building community and school culture; school communication with family and professionals; developing a favorable pro-inclusive environment; pro-inclusive attitude of teachers; developing and maintaining inclusive values; managing the educational process. According to selected research, these areas have a major impact on the quality of inclusive education on a global scale.
