A Montessori Model for Inclusion
Dattke, Joachim
NAMTA Journal, v39 n3 p107-119 Sum 2014
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. [This talk was presented at the NAMTA conference titled "Building the Inclusive Montessori Community," Phoenix, AZ, January 16-19, 2014. Translation and editing assistance provided by Barbara Luborsky and Catherine Nehring.]
