The PYP section remains committed to developing the potential of each individual learner. Each year we collaborate with Luigi Sangalli, Pedagogista Speciale, from the University of Verona. Luigi Sangalli works together with our students, teachers and parents to offer each child a targeted and optimum learning experience.
Part of this process began today and involved a brief individual screening of all new students in EYU and Years 1 & 2 as well as the screening and rescreening of other students from across the PYP section. These individual screenings are conducted by Luigi Sangalli together with Rita Bernardo, our SEN Support Specialist. The screening identifies developmental needs that are then addressed through targeted interventions in the classroom and at home. Luigi Sangalli will return to our school next week to continue with the screening process.
This collaborative work, which is unique in Italy, provides proactive support and interventions designed to address emerging developmental needs that might prohibit progress in school. When there are items that emerge from this screening that require parent involvement, we will inform parents directly.
