Benefits and Challenges of Inclusion in an Early Childhood Montessori Classroom

Abstract/Notes: This study indicates the benefits and challenges of inclusion in an early childhood Montessori classroom. The research has been significant due to limited resources on inclusion linked to Montessori education. This study was done in a private inclusive Montessori school in an early childhood classroom. Through observations, interviews and assessments, the results of inclusion in a Montessori setting were discovered. Meaningful relationships between peers and teachers are critical in the development of the child. The prepared environment is a unique feature of an inclusive Montessori environment that enables children to learn naturally by manipulating materials in the classroom with a hands-on approach. This engages academic success. It was also found that inclusion in a Montessori setting does not work effectively for every child with a disability. To have inclusion work successfully within this classroom environment, three teachers were mandatory: Two certified Montessori teachers and one special educator. This presents a challenge because the majority of schools cannot afford this luxury. Transitions, inconsistency and too much freedom are a challenge with inclusive Montessori education. However, inclusive Montessori education will benefit children in learning acceptance and respect for humanity. Further studies should be done on this topic with larger sample sizes, longer duration of time, various disabilities and different locations.

Abstract/Notes: Catherine Nehring is a passionate advocate for inclusion and presents a rationale for creating an inclusive Montessori school and details the considerations and guidelines for creating such a school. Beginning with the United Nations Resolution (Article 24) and carefully explaining Montessori's history with "abnormal children," Catherine outlines the barriers to inclusion, the many options for inclusion, and the value of building partnerships with the medical profession.

Abstract/Notes: Joachim Dattke inspires the reader to consider how a truly inclusive society is beneficial for both typical children and children with disabilities. Five essential components are defined for planning inclusive schools, and the key features of a Montessori model are discussed. The first inclusion-by-design school in the world (Munich, Germany), named Aktion Sonnenschein, was created through a collaboration between the founder, Theodor Hellbrügge, and Mario Montessori. From the beginning, this model integrated the key features of Montessori education into the pioneering field of social pediatrics.

Early Childhood Inclusion in a Public Montessori School: Access, Participation, and Supports
Available from: University of Illinois - IDEALS

Abstract/Notes: High-quality early childhood inclusion consists of providing access, participation, and supports to young children with disabilities (DEC/NAEYC, 2009). This case study examines how a public Montessori school provides early childhood inclusion to three, four, and five year olds with disabilities. Through interviews with Montessori teachers and administrators, classroom observations, and the administration of the Inclusive Classroom Profile (Soukakou, 2010), a number of supports and barriers to inclusion were identified. Supports included Montessori-unique practices, such as peer supports and multi-age classrooms which supported inclusion, and recommended practices in early childhood special education, such as teaming among professionals and offering accommodations and modifications. Barriers included restrictive systems-level special education policies.
