Playground fun for Aoba-Japan students. A-JIS
Aoba Japan International School (A-JIS) has created a Learning Support Program for international school students who require academic, or social/ behavioural support beyond what can be typically accommodated by the classroom teacher.
A-JIS recognizes the need for such services, and is excited to have the newly designed program, which functions within the core academic curriculum and educational services that are already in place.
The school has a three-tiered system of support, and students are reviewed by a Student Support Team (SST) that consists of the Director of Learning Support, the Principal, supporting teachers, and related personnel. Decisions are based on observations, assessments, and ongoing monitoring of goals and objectives.
Ms. Kristine Bordner is the Director of Learning Support and is a certified Special Education Teacher with an MS in Education/Special Education from SUNY Geneseo, NY, USA.
With the current resources available, A-JIS is able to provide a learning support program for students with mild academic or behavioural needs. In the future, the school hopes to be able to provide an educational program for students with more moderate learning needs. For more information please contact the school by telephone at 03-3335-6620.
