Extractions: SPECIAL SERVICES GUIDELINES PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT The goal of the Singapore American School (SAS) Special Services Program is to provide individual students who have learning differences with the academic and emotional support they require to succeed at SAS to the best of their ability. SAS recognizes the importance of involving students, parents/guardians, classroom teachers, special services staff, and administrators in a collaborative process in the delivery of special services. Singapore American School provides a continuum of services for a wide range of students. The continuum of services offered varies from early childhood through high school. We believe the ideal approach to helping with learning differences is through early intervention. The SAS Primary Division provides a full range of support services for students who may benefit from additional educational assistance. Areas of support offered include speech/language services; resource or enrichment support, classroom guidance and individual counseling, and assessment by the school psychologist. It should be noted, however, that as a private overseas school, SAS does not offer full special education programming as prescribed by law for public schools in the United States.

Extractions: Special Programs at Pacific Hills Christian School Tina Whiting by Tina Whiting Director of Special Programs All parents desire the best education for their children. Parents of children with special needs are often frustrated because help available for all sorts of reasons, does not meet their special needs. This is especially true for children whose disability is not easily defined, borderline or not recognised. Educationalist researchers and those working with children with disabilities all believe that inclusion in the mainstream is beneficial for disabled and non-disabled children. However, while inclusion is the preferred method of teaching, it is not always the best for special skill areas such as reading and mathematics. This also applies for gifted children as well, who may need a special program to meet their needs within the classroom. Each child should be taught to reach their highest possible potential spiritually, socially, academically and physically in accordance with their strengths and weaknesses. Each child should have the opportunity to begin and grow in a personal living daily relationship with Christ as Lord and Saviour. These principles, when applied in the practices of Pacific Hills Christian School, give the motivation for the inclusion of all students, whatever their abilities in the structure of the school. Special provision is made for students who have special needs, enabling them to achieve according to their abilities. These special needs may include students with disabilities, students with learning difficulties, students with gifts and talents, students from non English speaking backgrounds and students with behavioural disorders. The process of inclusion benefits the total student body as well as the families and staff associated with the school.

Extractions: English Language Courses. At our English Language School in Valletta, Malta, we want you to learn as much as you can during your stay with us. Our methodology is based on the communicative, task-based approach, which gives you the opportunity to practise and use your English in situations similar to the ones you will encounter in real life. On your first day you will be asked to complete a short test which will tell us your level of English. There are six levels from beginner through to advanced. You will then be placed in a class most suitable for your level. If you discover that the lessons are too hard (or too easy), then you can discuss this with your teacher and the Director of Studies. If there is something you know you need help with but do not need to move classes, your teachers are always available to help you either in the lessons or by recommending further self-study reading. Your lessons are carefully planned and the weekly plan is posted in the teaching rooms for you to see what you are learning and the progress achieved. In the Self Access center, linked material gives you the opportunity to reinforce your learning through additional exercises. Return to the Top English Courses for Adult Learners: General English.
