Building the Inclusive Montessori School. Shanks, P. NAMTA Journal, 39(3):5–36, 2014.
Building the Inclusive Montessori School [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Pam Shanks describes Raintree Montessori School, an exemplary inclusion school, and gives credit to the legacy of Dr. Montessori. An inclusive Montessori community begins with "physical integration of all children, progresses to functional inclusion, and finally culminates in the highest level, social inclusion." Each of these levels is described with examples, photos, and stories, while the details about the physical environment, the staffing, and the strengths of the classroom community are helpful and heartwarming. [This talk was presented at the NAMTA conference titled "Building the Inclusive Montessori Community," Phoenix, AZ, January 16-19, 2014.]
