Northbridge teachers organize unique Student Support professional development morning

Involving educators from more than 10 different international schools around Phnom Penh, this was a unique opportunity for teachers and administrators working in the roles of Learning Support, Special Education Needs, Reading Intervention, and English as an Additional Language (EAL) to come together for a day of collaboration.

Topics discussed included 'Increasing Parent Engagement', 'Supporting Students with ADHD, Autism and Executive Functioning Disabilities', 'Dyslexia', 'ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis)', 'Push-in Strategies in the Secondary Classroom' and 'Reading Support in a Pull-Out Setting'.

They also discussed establishing a Cambodian chapter of SENIA (Special Education Network & Inclusion Association), which advocates for resources and support for differently abled students, and are looking forward to their next collaborative meet up scheduled for May.
