Hi all, I need your advice on creating an appropriate inclusive environment that supports the needs of all students, including those with evaluated and qualified needs. I am particularly interested in the following:

1. What is the optimal number of students with SEN backgrounds per classroom?

2. What is the number of Tier 3 students per classroom?

3. What should be the adult ratio to students?

4. What is the caseload per learning support teacher?

5. What level of needs does your school accept (mild, moderate, severe) and what kinds of disabilities?

Many thanks!

Hi everyone!

Quick question: What do you do for students on the full IBDP without a formal diagnosis and (extremely) illegible handwriting?!

This student, a profile you may be familiar with, has been supported with a computer throughout their education so not an issue until gr. 11! Now of course, they need to handwrite everything. As you can imagine it's been stressful for the student and teachers!

Do you make the student go through a full edpysch to get the computer accomo? Do you just have them do an abreviated eval? Do you use an ergothérapeute/OT eval? Medical? Do you just send the child to an outside provider for support and abandon any thoughts of a computer on the IB finals?

I find this profile very tricky as this isn't a case of any disparages in learning/processing etc. but calls for a clear inclusion accommodation!

Your wisdom and guidance is more than appreciated! Wishing you all a restful break :)

I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on requesting WIDA MODEL online accommodations.

IB accreditation - Swiss inclusion piece.

Hello everyone,

I hope the start of the year has been treating you well! We are busy here at LAS as our numbers are growing AND growing...

I have an IB inclusion question we need to answer for accreditation:

What are the Swiss legal requirements with regards to inclusion access? What are the Swiss regulations and do we have to follow them as a private school?

Do you have this information on hand or know where to quickly find it?

Thanks in advance - very grateful to have this community to ask!

IB points: 1. identifies all legal requirements 2. outlines the structure and process it uses to comply with legal requirements.

Hi all,

I am curious what EAL screening tools and processes other schools are using during admissions to determine EAL support. In particular, I’d be interested in knowing:

Which screener(s) your school uses (e.g., WIDA Screener, paper vs. online, etc).

How you administer the screener:

Do students come to school in person?

Is the test done remotely or online?

Is it self-access (independent) or proctored?

Timing: When in the admissions process is it done?

If you’re willing to share your approach (even just briefly) it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! Happy New Year!

Just a quick question for those of you who do IB at your school. Who makes the finals schedule for your LS kids? Does the IB coordinator make the schedule for everyone or do you make your own schedule and plan for your kids?

We have so many kids with just one/a few certificates this year so it's logistically very complicated! Just trying to see how other schools do it...
