Internal Support Committee (ISC)
If the teacher, parents & the support department are "stumped" by a child and wish to explore the situation in more depth, the Internal Support Committee is the next level of referral. Pupils discussed here have usually already been observed by our SWV employee (Lia Bekking). The ISC has the following members:
- the Support Coordinators of the ISH, ESH and HSV;
- the school doctor;
- the school social worker &
- the SWV advisor.
Together we discuss pupils in great detail and formulate a plan of action. Parents need to give permission for a child to be discussed here. During our next Group Consultations, specific children can be put forward for this.
International SEN Working Group
Cooperative Learning
It is still some time away, but... on Wednesday the 26th of March, all staff are expected to attend the first collective INSET on Cooperative Learning. The training will be done by Sandra Lousberg from HCO. She will begin team-wide training in these proven structures to increase engagement and achievement!
