In this 2 session Leadership forum, Christine Lowry, Montessori special educator, will lead us in a conversation on Inclusion for Montessori schools. From a common understanding of the philosophy, framework, and practice of inclusion, we’ll look toward how this model can be successfully implemented in our Montessori schools. We’ll think about the systems to consider, the preparation of our staff, and the communication, collaboration, and coordination of our school community as it comes together to best serve and support todays’ wide range of variability in learning and behavior of all students. We look forward to an interactive sharing of ideas, comments, and questions of this important topic for today’s Montessori schools and the children and families they serve.
