Special Education Needs (SEN) teachers are the backbone of inclusive international schools. The International SEN Consultation Circles were created to support SEN teachers around the world in their work to provide quality education for neurodiverse children.

 

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING A SESSION?

Meeting online for 90 minutes, groups of 5-8 international learning support teachers will meet with Linden's neurodiversity specialists. They will facilitate confidential discussions designed to highlight the rich knowledge and diverse perspectives of school learning specialists around the world.

 

Each session will feature the following:

• Celebrate: Sharing wins of the week

• Discuss: 1-3 educators present a case or a challenge

• Support: Participants share insights, unique strategies, practices and resources

• Close: Facilitator summarizes and wraps up the session

• Share: Facilitator sends a list of resources based on topics addressed and wisdom shared

• Closing ceremony - At the last session we celebrate what we’ve learned and how we’ve grown

​

This is your chance to grow professionally while sharing your own expertise in supporting diverse learnings in multicultural and multilingual settings
