Abstract:	Learning from practice is usually based on learning from challenges and failures, while successful practices go unexamined and unperceived as opportunities for collective learning. The study explored the factors that promote or hinder collective learning from successes when working with students who have severe intellectual disabilities. The school's learning culture and structural mechanisms can assist with the sustainment of collective learning from successes. The principal's role is important in initiating learning mechanisms as well as promoting a learning culture for productive learning from success in a special education school. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
