This book addresses the impact of inclusion on the performance of students with and without special needs in Lebanese schools. It examines the performance of regular students to the performance of students with learning disabilities (LD) and gifted students as perceived by them to identify the population that is best served by inclusion. The book investigates three domains affecting student performance in inclusive settings: management and organization. Teaching and learning, and student support and school ethos. In addition, it compares the ways in which these domains affect student performance for each population. In addition, the book presents a detailed description of the inclusive practices that affect student performance and the indicators that contribute most positively to fostering the performance of regular students, gifted students, and students with LD. Finally, it describes the inclusion model applied and proved empirically to affect the positive performance of all student groups as a response to the increasing call for inclusive schooling in Lebanon. Key areas of coverage include: Inclusive education, social justice, and equity in Lebanese schools. Student perceptions of inclusion in Lebanon. Inclusion of gifted learners and students with learning disabilities. Comparison of student performance among different populations in inclusive settings. Domains affecting student performance in inclusive settings. Proposed model of student inclusion in Lebanese schools. School Inclusion in Lebanon is an essential resource for researchers, professionals and policymakers, and graduate students in such interrelated fields as school psychology, inclusive education / educational psychology, and social work.

The attitudes of school principals, heads of divisions, coordinators, teachers and other school staff on disabilities, affect the placement of students with special educational needs in schools. In addition to their placements, these attitudes affect the way these students are likely to be treated, and whether their right to receive quality education will be respected. In this non-experimental quantitative study, the researcher explored attitudes of private school principals about inclusion of students with special educational needs in the general education classrooms. Principals of 28 private schools (17 within the capital city Beirut and 11 outside the city) from different genders and age groups, with different experience in the field of education, answered the questions of the Principals' Attitudes toward Inclusive Education (PATIE) questionnaire (a 5-point Likert-type scale). Statistical analysis (t-test) revealed a positive attitude among the participants towards inclusion of students with disabilities without any statistically significant influence or difference among them, regardless of the principal's gender, age, location of the school, or years of experience in the educational field.
