On Monday 22 April, Ms Karen Geating, Northbridge International School Cambodia Learning Support Coordinator and PYP SEN Teacher, and Ms Lana Lautamus, Northbridge MYP SEN Teacher and International Life Skills Coordinator, organized a 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.
When we champion inclusion and belonging at Northbridge International School Cambodia, we positively impact student wellbeing, and our entire school here in Phnom Penh becomes a safe space for students in all their diversities.
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing our planet today. It is a complex problem, but it is one that we can solve. And who better to lead the way than our future generations on the Northbridge International School Cambodia Eco-Council?
Eco-Council's most awaited project, Earth Week, has been in the works for over 2 months. Members worked diligently to come up with innovative projects to encourage students to participate in becoming more eco-friendly.
