AISB recognizes that children learn in different ways, different rates, and believes that all students can learn. Learning Support at AISB provides individualized support to students with suspected, identified and/or diagnosed needs. Support follows the Response to Intervention (RTI) approach beginning in the general education classroom and progressing to more highly individualized support. Support is provided through multiple avenues including, but not limited to 1:1 and small group inclusion support, 1:1 and small group pull-out support, team teaching, collaborative planning, teacher training and parent support. Learning Support Teachers will work with and support students within the school community in line with the first tier of RTI which requires differentiation by all faculty for all students within the school. Should a student not respond to the initial wave of support, parents will be notified and formal support documents will be created collaboratively. Ongoing support is then provided for the student and regular updates provided to parents. Support can be initiated at the request of teachers or parents provided valid evidence is provided which reflects the student’s areas needs. Administrators notify and consult with the SEN Coordinator within the relevant section of school for any applicant who might require Learning Support services before making a final decision about admissions. AISB will not deny entry to students requiring learning support or with diagnosed needs unless the required support is unavailable within Romania. Parents whose children require specialised support or therapy services such as Speech and Language Therapy or Occupational Therapy should be aware that such services are extremely limited within Romania for non-Romanian speakers and AISB can provide very limited support in these areas. Any educational, social-emotional, physical, sensory, or medical needs must be fully disclosed in detail during the admission application process. All academic or psychological reports and/or any additional academic support the applicant is receiving or has received in the past (e.g. achievement or diagnostic assessments, psycho-educational evaluations, IEP, tutoring) must be disclosed at the time of application for admission. Failure to do so will delay the admission process, and may result in a revocation of an offer of admission, or the withdrawal of the student from AISB. Either at the time of the application process or after successful registration, students with academic and/or behavioral needs may be required by administration to have further cognitive, achievement, and/or developmental evaluations to support the student’s educational program. Assessments may be administered by Learning Support or by an independent, qualified Educational Psychologist as approved by the school. The cost of testing, reporting, and translating, where appropriate, is the responsibility of the family. AISB reserves the right to contact previous school administrators and/or teachers to gather additional information needed to inform the student’s application. At AISB, student needs are defined according to the following level of services: Tier 1: A whole-school instructional delivery model. Students receive differentiated instruction provided by their regular classroom teachers. Tier 2: In addition to tier 1 supports, students receive short-term, goal and research-driven interventions that are articulated, documented, and reported for parent communication Tier 3: In addition to tier 1 supports, students will have at a minimum not responded to at least one cycle of tier 2 intervention. With a non-response, the intensity of the intervention will have to be increased. Generally, structures (eg time or student to teacher ratio), assessment methods (eg more formative or more detailed diagnostic), or instructional methods (eg more opportunities to respond, more guided practice, more direct instruction, etc) are the areas where intensity is increased.
