Special Department for students with special needs No student is left behind. Students vary in their abilities, some are brighter than others in certain areas and some haven’t been given the correct attention in their early years at school, so they were raised deficient in certain areas of their academic pursuit. Its our mandate to work on each and every student no matter how challenging or difficult his situation could be. We follow a state of the art plan to find improvements in struggling students: • Understanding the Situation We first need to go through a series of assessment exams to have a 360′ degrees picture of the students academic abilities. We will understand his/her strengths, weaknesses, and areas where we can work on. • Defining Objectives Based on the evaluation, we then define specific, measurable and attainable goals. • Choosing the right Strategy When we know our goal, we, in coordination with the academic board as well as the parents, devise a strategy to obtain our objectives. • Following a detailed Action Plan Once we are confident about the strategy, we put it into action with detailed tasks and time frame. • Revising and monitoring results Our plan will be flexible, and we continuously check and revise it whenever needed. We keep control over the outcome and we change direction whenever necessary. 17 ‫مدرسة بولدوين العالمية‬
