| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
A school-based approach is adopted to provide individual learning support or Education Plans for students with special educational needs. To help students with speech and hearing impairment, school-based speech therapy sessions are provided. For students with special educational needs, reading and writing support programmes, and tailored curricula are in place to help increase their motivation and ability in learning. A variety of school tutoring services and peer group support, such as training of executive function, self caring and language knowledge, are assigned to special educational needs students for the consolidation of different skills. It is also our utmost concern to help students build a better self-image and blend in with the school community. An implementation of “Core Subjects Supporting Scheme” is intertwined with tiered assignments and an appropriate curriculum adaptation programme in Core subjects to help cater for different learners’ diversity. Form Coordinators are assigned to facilitate cooperation among different committees, including Discipline, Academic, Career Planning, Inclusive Education, and such. As a result, students’ performance in specific aspects can be acknowledged by teachers across the committees. |
