A child with learning difficulties or disabilities that make learning harder for him or her can be described as having special education needs (SEN).  For your convenience, we have copy pasted the Beijing section of the US State Overseas Schools office provided guide on Beijing schools that provide support to children with special needs.  The contents of the guide were originally provided by the schools.

If you suspect your child might be learning at a slower pace than other children of similar age and that it might be a problem, consult Olivia’s Place for an assessment, advice, or for opportunities to attend free parent education workshops.

Extracted from the US State “Overseas Schools Offering Support to Children with Special Needs” 2015-2016:

 British School of Beijing, Shunyi:

In BSB Shunyi, the Inclusion Department consists of a Leader of Inclusion, Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), Special Educational Needs (SEN) Teacher and Counselor. The SENCO in collaboration with the Leader of Inclusion plays a key role in determining the strategic development of the Special Educational Needs policy, support and provision in the school to raise the achievement of children with special educational needs.

The SENCO will coordinate additional support, Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and Action Plans for pupils with special educational needs and liaise with their teachers and other professionals who are involved with their education.

The counselor supports children’s needs when they are going through a difficult time; this can be emotional, social, or behavioral. For children it can be difficult to talk about their problems with their family, teachers, or friends and they might prefer to talk to someone that isn’t a part of their life. The counselor gives them the chance to share their feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment. By using different therapy, such as play and art therapy, the feelings of the child will be explored.

The School has a few SEN certified teachers that work with a small portion of students as part of the mainstream program.

---

 British School of Beijing, Sanlitun:

The School does not offer a comprehensive SEN program. They do have trained SEN specialists within their network of schools and work with professionals and organizations locally. The School endeavors to work with families to ensure that they have provisions in place to cater to the specific needs of their child. The School offers the support of a one-to-one teaching assistant for any student that may need the additional support during their lessons.

---

 International School of Beijing:

Learning Support Policy: In support of the mission, purpose, and philosophy of the School, as existing space and resources allow, students with mild to moderate learning differences will be admitted in accordance with the School’s admissions policy. This might include students with learning disabilities, ADHD and some high-functioning students on the autistic spectrum. However, placement in the learning support program is not based on diagnoses. Placement is determined by the level of support needed to be successful.

Description of Services: At this point, the School does not have self-contained classes for students who require a separate curriculum. Most services are provided through a push-in, inclusion model, with the exception of first and second grades in which a pull out model is utilized more frequently. Presently, they have ten learning support teachers, one speech and language pathologist and a director of student support services who also covers the school psychologist position. The School tends to use a modified response to intervention model (RtI) as the referral identification process. The modification is that they use standardized assessments as well as curriculum based to inform intervention.

Decisions regarding admission and services for a student will be made on a case-by-case basis within the policy parameters. The School does not have an educational program for:

• A student with intensive learning needs.
• A student who requires a self-contained learning environment with separate curriculum.
• A student with significant cognitive, developmental, physical and/or emotional needs/disabilities.
• A student who exhibits a continual pattern of behavior in the classroom that is disruptive to the learning process.
• The Student Support Team generally consists of an Administrator or designee, Counselor, Learning Support Teacher, and Classroom Teacher who interacts directly with the child.

---

 Ivy Schools:

While several of the School’s teachers are special-needs trained or informed, they are not equipped to accept children with special needs on a regular basis.

---

 International Montessori School of Beijing:

MSB employs two Learning Support teachers who are trained to diagnose and support children with learning needs. All learning support students must be identified during the admission process and will undergo observation and testing by our Learning Support staff. Admittance to the school will take into account their recommendations.

---

 Side By Side:

Their program is solely for students with special needs and learning difficulties. The School will consider students with a variety of special needs, though they are unable to admit those in wheelchairs, or with moderate to severe medical needs. Their special education students usually have autism, are mentally challenged, have down syndrome, language delays or disorders, or global delay. The majority of their students have a combination of communication, behavioral and social issues.

Side by Side also offers 1:1 learning support and 1:1 music therapy for students who go to international school and have learning, behavior, emotional or communication difficulties. The School has a qualified special needs teacher, a music therapist/social worker/special needs support worker, and an assistant on staff. They refer to external therapy centers for diagnosis, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and/or physical therapy if it is required.

---

 Yew Chung International School:

The School aims to assist children of foreign personnel as much as possible. However, there are limits to the range of services provided, resources obtainable, teacher and specialist expertise available in YCIS. For this reason, YCIS can only accept students with mild learning difficulties, i.e. children who can work successfully in a regular classroom environment with minimum support. The School employs a SEN teacher to work with students, in-class and in a withdrawal capacity. The School reserves the right (in consultation with the parents) to review all prior school reports, recommendations, and external assessments, and conduct an interview to determine the student’s level of need/s. The School will only accept students whom it believes will be successful in the YCIS program. Should a special educational need/s be identified after entrance (or a more serious need develops), the School reserves the right to review the placement.

---

 3e International School

Children with special needs are considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure that all their needs can be met if admitted.

---

 Beijing City International School – BCIS

BCIS provides learning support for those students who require additional assistance in mastering the curriculum. Acceptance into the school for children with special needs is made on a case-by-case basis. Determination is based on whether they have sufficient expertise and resources to accommodate the student. BCIS personnel do not diagnose disabilities.

---

 Dulwich College Beijing

The School accepts students with learning needs on a case-by-case basis. Mild needs are supported either through in-class or pull-out sessions. Students needing extra support are requested to hire a shadow at their own expense. They do not have services for severe learning needs that may require professional services such as speech or physiotherapy.

---

 Lycée Française International de Pékin

The School currently has 4-5 mentally handicapped or sight impaired students. These students’ families engage a personal assistant (with the help and agreement of the school) to assist their child in classes. The School also has several dyslexic students; 2 external speech therapists assist them after school.

---

 Western Academy of Beijing

Learning Support Program: Students are eligible for admission if it is believed that WAB can meet their emotional, social, physical and academic needs. WAB can offer places at each grade level to a limited number of students with mild learning difficulties. For these students, assistance is provided by their Learning Support Center, both in and out of the classroom as appropriate, usually in small groups and occasionally on an individual basis.

Since WAB does not have separate classes for children with learning difficulties, a primary consideration in offering a place will be the student’s ability to access the regular curriculum with limited support. WAB takes into account the number of other students requiring learning support in the grade level applied for, and the level of resources needed to support the applicant. Thus, while WAB recognizes the value for all children of the social learning which can occur through contact with a peer group, places cannot be offered to students who need extensive program modifications, an alternate curriculum or constant support.

In accepting students with learning difficulties, WAB usually also adheres to the school admissions policy of placing students by chronological age and educational background, so the ability to function with a group of similarly aged students is an important factor. WAB is able to accept some students with minor physical disabilities, although expertise with any type of adaptive communications systems is not available. In accordance with the general admissions policy, the school reserves the right (in consultation with the parents) to conduct all necessary assessments and obtain copies of all previous reports and records. The School will offer a provisional place only to those students who they believe can benefit from the educational program it provides.

British born Gary Cairns has been living in Beijing for three years and is currently the head of English at the British School of Beijing Shunyi. Cairns was based in Thailand for five years before heading to the capital. “Seeing The Forbidden City, The Great Wall and The Summer Palace will stay with me forever,” says Cairns. He talks more about his childhood favorites and teaching style.

What’s was your favorite subject when you were a student? Why?
Despite being an English teacher, my favorite subject at school was actually History. I still love learning about history today and read lots of historical fiction and non-fiction. When I was at school, I had a really inspirational history teacher called Mr Bailey and that was probably why I engaged with the subject so much. He had a great enthusiasm for the subject as well as a great sense of humor. He was a big influence on me and there are probably elements of his teaching style in my teaching style.

What did you want to be when you were a kid? What other career options did you explore before teaching?
When I was at school, I wanted to be a lawyer. I studied Law at college but when applying for university, I decided that I wanted to study English Literature instead. I don’t have any regrets about my choices though. Studying literature put me on the path to where I am today and I love being an English teacher.

How would you (or your students) describe your teaching style?
I enjoy what I do and I hope the students see that when I teach. If you want students to be passionate about your lessons, you have to be passionate as well. I think that I am creative as a teacher. I try to vary my lessons and come up with new ways to engage the students.

What was your favorite book growing up? What are you currently reading?
My favorite book growing up was Children of the New Forest by Captain Marryat.  I very much doubt that it is taught in schools now. However, we read it in Primary School and I loved it. It is about a group of children during the English Civil War. Their father is a Royalist and the children have to leave their home and hide in the New Forest to avoid capture by the Roundheads.

I am currently reading a book called Stonemouth by Iain Banks. It was recommended to me and I’ve only just started to read it so I will reserve judgement for now.

How do you like to relax on the weekends?
At weekends, I like to watch football with my friends. I try to watch as many Premier League games as I can. As an English teacher, I read a lot. I also have a PlayStation 4 and I spend quite a bit of time on that as well.

Where do you like to go on holiday?
Thailand is a beautiful place and, as my wife is Thai, I tend to visit often. I like to go to the beach, eat seafood, and generally just relax. I visited Tokyo recently and I loved it there. The shops were great, the food was amazing, and there was a lot to do.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?
I can’t say that I have any hidden talent that people don’t know about. I used to sing in a band when I was younger. My friends and I used to play in pubs when we were teenagers. It was really good fun.

I also used to work in a psychiatric hospital while I was at sixth form college and university. Mostly, I used to nurse the elderly who suffered from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. That will probably surprise a few people!

What’s currently on your playlist?
I am a big fan of indie music. At the moment, I listen to Arcade Fire quite a lot. I went to see them at Hyde Park a couple of summers ago and I really like their last album. Anybody who knows me will also know that The Smiths are always on my playlist.

What’s do you find most rewarding about teaching?
As a secondary school teacher, whenever you get exam results, and you see how well students have performed, it is a great feeling. Preparing students for exams is a long process and to know you have made an impact on a student and helped them reach or exceed their potential is a great feeling. It doesn’t matter how many years you teach, it is still a nerve-wracking, exciting, rewarding experience.

Something that really stands out in memory is when I left my last job in Thailand. On my last day, many of the students who I had taught over the years and had left for University came back into school to say goodbye. That really meant a lot to me.

British native Emily Newman packed her teaching expertise and brought it to Beijing a year ago in her quest for an Asian adventure. Newman previously taught in Germany and Ukraine. She was delighted to be offered a position at the British School of Beijing for she wanted to teach at a reputable British school in a large, vibrant city. Newman shares with us about her childhood dream job and what she finds most rewarding about teaching.

What’s was your favorite subject when you were a student? Why?
From a young age I have always enjoyed and excelled at mathematics, however I also enjoyed ICT, music, art, psychology and sociology. Being a year 6 teacher, I am lucky to experience all of these areas and more on a daily basis.

What did you want to be when you were a kid? What other career options did you explore before teaching?
I decided to become a teacher at a young age, however I have had other interests which I did consider pursuing, particularly maths and music. Teaching was the right decision for me because it is a career with which I can challenge myself and my pupils in many ways to develop to their full potential.

How would you (or your students) describe your teaching style?
My pupils describe me as caring, supportive and dedicated. I aim to secure their knowledge and understanding of concepts across the curriculum, as well as enabling them to develop into confident, responsible individuals.

What was your favorite book growing up? What are you currently reading?
I enjoyed reading the Harry Potter books as a child. Nowadays Iread travel, culture and cook books, and at the moment I am reading the hilarious book ‘Notes from a small island’ by Bill Bryson (who also handed me my teaching degree during graduation at Durham University).

How do you like to relax on the weekends?
In my free time I enjoy trying new restaurants, shopping and sightseeing, as well as attending balls and shows.

Where do you like to go on holiday?
I’ve visited 25 countries in Europe and Asia, and I’d like to discover more of these, but I’m also eager to visit the Middle East, Africa, and South America for the first time.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?
I have a wide range of hobbies and interests, including playing the piano, singing, yoga, dancing and learning languages – German and Chinese.

What’s currently on your playlist?
My current favorite band is Kodaline, but I also like listening to a range of music from around the world.

What do you find most rewarding about teaching?
I enjoy inspiring children to learn more about the world, as well as enabling them to do things that they never thought were possible. I encourage my pupils to believe that they could be capable of anything if they put their mind to it.

Is there anything else you would like to share?
I’ve been a member of Girlguiding UK since the age of 7, including being a Brownie leader, which has inspired my teaching style, through initiatives such as ‘Smurf Smart’ and ‘Free Being Me’. It has also opened up new opportunities for me; this summer I spent 5 weeks at Sangam World Centre where I volunteered to teach at a slum school in India. These experiences have taught me the value of global education and inspired me to be the best teacher I can be.

Black smoke filled the sky from a construction site near British School of Beijing‘s Shunyi campus Tuesday afternoon.

Although indicated by one witness that it appeared to be in the area of the Lane Bridge villa complex, a photo showed an area closer to BSB.

The fire is believed to be in a new retail site currently being built. The Beijinger could not independently confirm the location of the fire.

Parents, students, and others approaching the area for school pick-ups and after-school activities should use caution, both due to the fire and the likelihood of firefighting vehicles en route at speed.

This post first appeared on thebeijinger.com on February 23, 2016.

Graham Nuttall teaches Year One at The British School of Beijing (BSB Shunyi campus). The UK native was living in the Middle East for three years having previously worked in both Vietnam and Thailand. Intrigued by eastern Asia’s rich history and culture, Nuttall made his way back to Asia last August. Nuttall shares more about himself with beijingkids.

What’s was your favorite subject when you were a student?
Geography. I have always enjoyed learning about other parts of the world and it was through my geography lessons that my passion for travel started to develop.

What did you want to be when you were a kid? What other career options did you explore before teaching?
It might seem strange, but I always wanted to work in a supermarket! As an undergraduate I studied retail marketing and then became a buyer for a UK supermarket before deciding to train as a teacher.

How would you describe your teaching style?
I like to listen to my students’ interests and develop a curriculum based around them. My classroom is currently a fairy tale forest!

What was your favorite book growing up? What are you currently reading? When I was a kid my favourite book was The Twits by Roald Dahl. I am currently reading The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan.

How do you like to relax on the weekends?
As I am new to Beijing, I enjoy getting on the subway to explore different areas of the city.

Where do you like to go on holiday?
My wife is Filipino, so I enjoy taking her and our two children to the beautiful beaches there.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?
Looking at me, you may not think that I have run 3 marathons in the last 2 years.

What’s currently on your playlist?
Ghost – Ella Henderson, because my wife and kids keep on singing it all the time at the moment!

What’s do you find most rewarding about teaching?
As an early years teacher with many years of experience working with children who have English as an additional language, the best moments for me are when I am able to have a conversation with a child who had no English at the start of the school year.

Word from a Parent: 
"BSB makes us feel that we’re not just part of a school, but part of a family. We love the fact that BSB sees our children as individuals. They make the school fit the child, not the child fit the school. Our children have grown amazingly and blossomed in the BSB environment."

– Mr. Minsker, father of a Year 5 and a Year 6 student

Water sports facilities in Beijing are somewhat limited, so opportunities for kids to take part in water-based activities are few. However, O’le Sports has had success with its new venture O’le Afloat programs and summer camps. The latest addition to the raft of activities is a week-long sailing course that culminates in a certification. If you prefer to be up in the trees rather than on the water, try zip lining, climbing, and trapeze at Happy Gorilla Treetop Adventure Park (which has a location in Shunyi). As we head towards the start of the fall term for the international schools, we also have some news from two of our Shunyi schools, BSB and DCB.

Learn to Sail
O’le Sports has teamed up with a sailing club to provide its Learn to Sail program, where participants will learn to sail an Optimist boat by themselves and obtain a certificate upon completion of the course. The Optimist is a small, single-handed sailing dinghy intended for use by children. In between sailing, participants will also have the opportunity to do some kayaking, paddle boarding, rafting, and other water-based games. It’s a fantastic way to keep fit, have fun, and make new friends.

The course runs every Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm, and is best-suited for children between 7 and 17 years of age. The whole week costs RMB 2,500.To book your place,email peter@ole-sports.org. For more info, visitwww.ole-sports.org.

Learn to Zip
Happy Gorilla Treetop Adventure Park is an aerial course built inthe trees. The course comprises ladders, bridges, swings, nets, trapezes, and giant zip lines. Participants are equipped with a harness and attached to a safety line, and it takes between one and two hours to complete the course, depending on how fit or competitive you are.

The course is open to the general public, groups of family and friends, and makes for a great venue for corporate team bonding away days. The different courses provided are pitched at three difficulty levels. Minimum height requirements are 1.1mfor the junior continuous course, and 1.4mfor the other courses, and the maximum weight is 130kg. It’s recommended to book in advance as courses can get booked up, especially during weekends.

Schools News

BSB Shunyi
Campus renovations have been taking place during the summer. In Early Years, work has included improvements to corridors on the ground floor, in the library, and on an outdoor deck. The third floor of the central building has been upgraded, ready for a new Secondary Library and Study Centre.

Philip Allman will take up the role of Primary Headteache, when the fall term begins on Monday, August 25. Allman graduated from the University of Bedfordshire with a Bachelor of Education degree. Since then, he has worked at six schools in the UK, catering for children ranging from 6 months to 13 years of age within both the state and independent sectors. Outside of school life, he is the father of three children.

There are limited places available at the Shunyi campus for the coming academic year. To apply, visit BSB’s website.

Dulwich College Beijing (DCB)
DCB received a very strong report from its first Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) evaluation, with sixteen of the twenty grades marked as “Excellent” and the four remaining marked as “Good.”

ISI is approved by the UK Department for Education to assess whether British international schools are meeting quality standards. ISI inspected DCB in March 2014 and confirmed that their standards in all areas, compared to the best of the UK and the world, are indeed high. 

These standards are reflected in the set of IB results from the class of 2014. The average IB Diploma point score was 37.35 points, which is well above the world average of 29.81 points, and 35 percent of DCB’s students achieved scores of 40+ points.

The new term at DCB starts on Monday, August 18. To celebrate, the school is hosting a Welcome Back BBQ on Friday, August 22 from 5-7pm at the Legend Garden Campus.

Probably the most important decision after making the huge leap to move your family to China, is which school to choose.

For families moving to Beijing, this may also include which curriculum to choose, given the huge choice of excellent international schools in this city.

For some this will be an easy question based on nationality, but for others it will be a daunting one.

For ex-pats where their country’s national curriculum is not offered in Beijing, it also means trying to understand the terminology and jargon used in another nation’s curriculum.

The English National Curriculum, as offered by The British School of Beijing, Shunyi,(BSB) is considered one of the leading curricula world-wide and is recognised across the globe.

The curriculum is flexible enough to ensure that it meets the academic needs to help children excel in the international ex-pat environment.

Understanding the English National Curriculum
The English National Curriculum offers a subject-based curriculum from aged 5. It is academically strong and leads to world-leading external examinations at age 16 and 18, which are the iGCSE and International Baccalaureate.

Before the age of 5, children follow a structured play-based curriculum. This puts an emphasis on physical, personal, social and emotional development with listening, understanding and speaking skills to foster good communication. This programme is known as EYFS (Early Years and Foundation Stage).

In the National Curriculum, students are placed in Key Stages according to their age.
•    Key Stage One – Years 1 & 2 (5-7 years old).
•    Key Stage Two – Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 (7-11 years old).
•    Key Stage Three – Years 7, 8 & 9 (11 – 14 years old).
•    Key Stage Four – Years 10 & 11 (14 – 16 year olds) iGCSEs

iGCSE stands for International General Certificate of Secondary Education. These examinations are recognised internationally and are probably the best preparation for all post-16 qualifications, such as the IB, which is studied at The British School of Beijing, Shunyi.

The IB Diploma is widely recognised, along with the more traditional A-Levels, as the best preparation for top universities world-wide.
The approach that BSB has taken is seen as being the best combination of the two systems in terms of curriculum maturity and the international ex-pat environment the school operates in.

Making the right choice for your child
As with any choice, choosing a school curriculum is very personal and being informed is important.

If you are leaning towards one curriculum type, take the time to find out more.The so called ‘hidden curriculum’ – how a school functions, how people are treated, if the school is an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment are all important factors to take into consideration.

You also need to consider your long-term plans. If you know that you’re returning to, or moving to a country that follows a certain curriculum and that your children will have to work in that model, then it makes sense to follow the same curriculum in Beijing.

For further information or to answer any questions you may have about the English National Curriculum, please contact The British School of Beijing, Shunyi; admissions@britishschool.org.cn
