On September 6th, our Coordinator of Student Support Services, Dr. Sarah, presented a profound and inspiring sharing on the theme of "Overcoming Learning Barriers." This training was not merely an exploration of educational philosophy but a vivid manifestation of CISK's commitment to high-quality teaching for every student.
01
Cherishing Differences,
Unleashing Potentials
Centering her discourse around the inclusive education philosophy of the International Baccalaureate (IB) organization, Dr. Sarah emphasized CISK's dedication to eliminating or reducing learning barriers, ensuring that every student can fully engage with and benefit from the IB curriculum. She meticulously dissected various dimensions of barriers, including special education, medical conditions, and mental health, using vivid examples to deepen teachers' understanding of their real-world impact on students' learning lives.
02
Precise Identification,
Tailored Support
To more effectively assist students, Dr. Sarah proposed detailed identification processes and access arrangement strategies. She encouraged teachers to gather comprehensive student data through classroom observations, parental feedback, and professional assessments, aiming for a thorough understanding of their needs. Additionally, she underscored the significance of timely referrals to ensure students receive prompt professional support and services.
03
Bearing Responsibility,
Educating with Love
Dr. Sarah's training instilled in every teacher a profound sense of our significant responsibility as providers of student support services. We are tasked not only with imparting knowledge but also with nurturing each student's mental health and holistic development. Her passion and professionalism resonated with every teacher present, further strengthening our resolve to create a superior learning environment for our students.

A Message from Dr.Sarah
Sarah Salazar
Coordinator of Student Support Services
We are all unique beings and we have different interests, strengths, weaknesses, needs, and learning preferences. That uniqueness is what makes this world interesting. We all have something to contribute and we need guidance along the path to our destiny. However, when our needs or learning preferences, interfere with our ability to learn or function in the school environment, we need to put a comprehensive plan in place to remove or lessen the barrier to learning that the student might be experiencing. The goal is to create a learning environment that is conducive to all learners. It is not just about holding meetings or conducting testing, rather finding the abilities of each student and working in that area to overcome the weakness so they can thrive in school and beyond.
At our school, we do not diagnose. Rather, through observations, classroom work, academic assessments, collaboration and communication, we may discover that a student needs an additional level of support. At that time we may discuss our concerns and findings with the parents to seek further input or make recommendations. The parents are a crucial part of our educational team. Their insights into other aspects about the student is a valuable part of the process in finding the correct level of support needed. Each student is entitled to growth, at their own pace, in a safe and nurturing environment. Our job is to educate and assist the student on that personal journey. Sometimes additional testing and meetings are needed, but this is not something of which to be fearful - nor is it punitive. Rather, it is an opportunity to learn more about the student's needs and further personalize their education so they can reach their maximum potential.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve your students. We welcome all students and appreciate your collaboration with our educational efforts!
Let us work hand in hand to contribute to the bright future of CISK students! At CISK, we are committed to providing each student with a personalized, high-quality educational experience, empowering them to excel in both their academic pursuits and personal lives!

学生支持服务协调员
“我们都是独一无二的个体,拥有各自不同的兴趣、优势、弱点、需求和学习偏好。这份独特性正是构成世界多彩多姿的源泉。我们每个人都能有所贡献,而在通往各自命运的道路上,我们也需要指引。然而,当我们的需求或学习偏好妨碍了在学校环境中的学习或表现时,就必须制定一个全面的计划,以消除或减轻学生可能遇到的学习障碍。我们的目标是营造一个对所有学习者都有益的学习环境。这不仅仅意味着召开会议或进行测试,更重要的是发掘每个学生的能力,并针对其薄弱环节进行辅导,使他们在学校乃至更广阔的领域中都能茁壮成长。
在我们学校,我们不进行诊断。相反,我们通过观察、课堂作业、学业评估、合作与沟通,可能会发现某个学生需要额外的支持。届时,我们会与家长讨论我们的担忧和发现,以寻求更多意见或提出建议。家长是我们教育团队中不可或缺的一部分。他们对学生其他方面的了解,对于找到正确层次的支持至关重要。每个学生都有权在安全、滋养的环境中,以自己的节奏成长。我们的职责是在这段个人旅程中教育和帮助学生。有时,确实需要额外的测试和会议,但这并不可怕,也不是惩罚性的。相反,这是一个更深入了解学生需求、进一步个性化其教育,以便他们能充分发挥潜能的机会。
感谢您给予我们服务您学生的机会。我们欢迎所有学生,并感激您对我们教育工作的支持与合作!”
让我们携手共进,为CISK学生的美好未来贡献力量!在CISK,我们承诺为每位学生提供个性化、高质量的教育体验,助力学子们在CISK的学习与生活取得卓越成就!
