Overseas Schools Offering Support to Children with Special Needs 2017-2018 Overseas Schools Offering Support to Children with Special Needs 2017-2018 This list of schools offering Special Education and/or Gifted and Talented programs is compiled from information collected through the 2017-2018 Summary School Information forms submitted by posts, other materials available in A/OPR/OS, and forms from previous years. The information is self-reported, is taken verbatim from submitted forms, may change from year-to-year, and is by no means conclusive or all-inclusive as school administrators may not report offering a special needs program. In addition, what is available one year may not be the following year due to staff changes. Therefore, the list is, by its very nature, incomplete and may not be reliable in some instances. It is to be used only as a starting point in the search for possible programs for children with special needs. In many instances, schooling for children with special needs in overseas locations is not comparable to that available in the United States. Parents should also be aware that many of the schools listed do not offer an American curriculum. A school whose name appears in BLUE is assisted by the U.S. Department of State. The dates in parentheses after the name of the school denote the year the information was received. Parents are STRONGLY urged to follow the suggestions outlined below in their search for a suitable program for their child(ren): 1. Use this list only as a starting point in the search for a suitable program. 2. Be very familiar with your child's school records and the present school's recommendations for accommodations. 3. Contact the Child and Family Program at the Department of State (Tel: 202-663-1815) and inquire about medical clearance requirements. 4. Get in touch with A/OPR/OS Regional Education Officers for further information on any specific overseas school program. A list of the Regional Education Officers, their phone numbers, and e-mail addresses, is included. 5. Contact the school's administration directly and request explicit information on the educational programs presently available, admission criteria, etc. 6. Get in touch with the Community Liaison Office Coordinator at post for any possible background information on the school and possible other programs in the community. 7. Read the brochure Transitioning to an Overseas Assignment with a Child with Special Needs with information on special needs in the Foreign Service at www.state.gov/m/a/os/27909.htm. OFFICE OF OVERSEAS SCHOOLS A/OPR/OS Room H328, SA-1 Department of State Washington, DC 20522-0132 Telephone: (202) 261-8200 Fax: (202) 261-8224 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: www.state.gov/m/a/os Intranet: http://aopros.a.state.gov/ The Office of Overseas Schools (A/OPR/OS) is staffed with regional education officers, each assigned oversight of a geographic region, who are well-informed about schools attended by U.S. government school-age dependent children. A/OPR/OS publishes a one page "Fact Sheet" on each overseas American-sponsored school assisted by the Department of State. It also maintains a database with detailed information on over 600 overseas schools and preschools, including course offerings, special programs, programs for children with special needs, extracurricular activities, graduation requirements, etc. The information can be found on the A/OPR/OS Intranet website at http://aopros.a.state.gov/pdf/pdf/alpha.html. Families are encouraged to contact A/OPR/OS for information on educational opportunities overseas for their school-age dependent children. Director Mr. Thomas P.

  • 2018–2019 Information Pack Mathematical Literacy Reading
    ISA International Schools’ Assessment ISAInternational Schools’ Assessment 2018–2019 Information Pack Mathematical Literacy Reading Writing Scientific Literacy Australian Council for Educational Research What is the ISA? The ISA is a set of tests used by international schools and schools with an international focus to monitor student performance over time and confirm that their internal assessments are aligned with international expectations of performance. Designed and developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), the ISA reading, mathematical literacy and scientific literacy assessments are based on the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). PISA is developed under the auspices of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Note that the ISA is not part of PISA and is not endorsed by the OECD. What is ACER? ACER is one of the world's leading educational research centres, committed to creating and promoting research-based knowledge, products and services that can be used to improve learning across the life span. ACER has built a strong reputation as a reliable provider of support and expertise to education policy makers and professional practitioners since it was established in 1930. The development of the ISA is linked to ACER’s work on PISA: ACER led a consortium of research and educational institutions as the major contractor to deliver the PISA project on behalf of the OECD from 2000 to 2012. What is PISA? PISA is a triennial international survey which aims to evaluate education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of nationally representative samples of 15-year-old students in key subjects: reading literacy, mathematical literacy and scientific literacy in order to inform national stakeholders about how well their education systems are preparing young people for life after compulsory education.
