Diverse Education Needs Department
In order to positively impact the lives of children, we believe that each student is their own individual with varied needs.
This year we have revamped our e3 department to the Diverse Education Needs (DEN). DEN follows the guidelines from the Australian Curriculum Assessment Reporting Authority - committing to developing a high-quality curriculum for all AISM students that promotes excellence, inclusion and equity in education.
Our DEN department is a multidisciplinary team which consists of Learning Support Teachers and English as Additional Language Teachers who work closely with the School Counselor, Heads of Department , Teachers, Parents and External service providers. Together we collaborate to determine and implement the best plan of action to help every child grow, achieve and succeed.
The Diverse Education Needs Department develops and implements an effective service delivery model to provide enhanced services to students who require additional and targeted support. Students may have a range of needs including one or more of the following;
- Gifted & Talented
- Learning Gaps
- Learning Difficulties
- English as an Additional Language
- Physical Impairment
- Social and Emotional Issues
All of these students are accommodated within the AISM community where the school's resources are used effectively and efficiently. DEN identifies student strength and critically evaluates our support systems as well as using culturally responsive and evidence based intervention.
This year, We are delighted to have a team of Learning Support and EAL teachers, Charlotte McNarn, Alicia Lee Su Yin, Ashikin Hasnan, Sharkila Milliams and Jaeshinthaa Kaur that work closely with individual students in Junior School and Middle Senior School to provide a variety of interventions to meet the needs of the student body.
