Abstract/Notes: Inclusive education means that exceptional children (EC) can fully participate in the learning process alongside their typically developing peers, supported by reasonable accommodations and teaching strategies that are tailored to meet their individual needs. The main goal of inclusion policies for EC is to provide high-quality education for all without discrimination and to ensure the implementation of equal opportunity principles. The primary purpose of this study is to explore the reality of inclusive education systems in Egypt and the United States (US) and to develop a better understanding of similarities and differences and thus identify the lessons learned. The study applied a comparative analysis method. Research findings revealed that the progress towards inclusion practices in Egyptian inclusive public schools is minimal and hindered by many challenges. Among them are lacking financial resources and a shortage of qualified teachers trained to differentiate curricula for EC. Based on the research findings, the study concludes with recommendations to improve the Egyptian inclusive education for EC.

Abstract/Notes: Les écoles Montessori se multiplient dans tous les pays du monde. L’article s’appuie sur l’étude de l’auto-présentation d’une centaine d’écoles, pour montrer qu’elles sont très diverses. Dans un contexte d’accentuation du consumérisme scolaire et du développement de nouvelles classes moyennes des pays émergents soucieuses d’éducation, le succès international de cette pédagogie tient au fait qu’elle est fondée sur l’utilisation d’un matériel très concret qui la rend immédiatement compréhensible et qu’elle est, de toutes les pédagogies nouvelles, la moins subversive et la plus acceptable socialement. Surtout, cette pédagogie réussit à concilier des exigences qui semblent en partie contradictoires : en mettant à la fois l’accent sur les apprentissages académiques précoces et sur le bien-être et l’autonomie des élèves ; en se présentant aussi comme une pédagogie « de l’élite » mais accessible à tous et favorisant la réussite des plus défavorisés ; en conciliant enfin modernité et religion. [Montessori schools are multiplying in all countries of the world. The article is based on the study of the self-presentation of a hundred schools, to show that they are very diverse. In a context of accentuation of school consumerism and the development of new middle classes of emerging countries concerned with education, the international success of this pedagogy is due to the fact that it is based on the use of very concrete material which makes it immediately understandable and that it is, of all new pedagogies, the least subversive and the most socially acceptable. Above all, this pedagogy succeeds in reconciling requirements which seem in part contradictory: by emphasizing both early academic learning and the well-being and autonomy of the pupils; by also presenting itself as an “elite” pedagogy but accessible to all and promoting the success of the most disadvantaged; finally reconciling modernity and religion.]

Abstract/Notes: Dr. Maria Montessori provided the world with a powerful philosophy and practice for the advancement of humanity: change how we educate children and we change the world. She understood two things very clearly: One, that we can build a better world, a more just and peaceful place, when we educate for the realization of the individual and collective human potential; and two, that the only way to create an educational system that will serve this end is to scrap the current system entirely and replace it with a completely new system. She gave us a system through which to accomplish that goal: The Montessori Method. The following is a personal and professional account of the Montessori Method of educating children.
