PYP Learning Inclusion Support teachers Inclusion is an ongoing process that aims to increase access and engagement in learning for all students by identifying and removing barriers to learning. It involves change and is facilitated in a culture of collaboration, mutual respect, support and problem solving involving the whole school community (IBO, 2016).
• We provide support so students can access and fully participate in learning alongside their similar-aged peers. • For teachers, we provide teaching strategies tailored to meet their students’ individual needs. • For parents, we provide resources so that they can fully support their children at home.

are delighted to meet all students in the Thai Value classes from Pre-K up to Grade 5. During the lessons, students in the Early Years have learned ways to make friends and keep friends and know how to play in a fair way.
If parents have any questions and concerns about their child, please feel free to contact Ms. Luck at luck@concordian.ac.th
Counselors will make sure that all Early Year students know how to share, take turns, and ask for sharing. We work closely with teachers and parents to reinforce all these social and emotional skills.
Who are your PYP counselors?
Thank you for your great and kind support.
In the Primary Years, students learn appropriate friendship skills, covering how to make and maintain friendships, conflict-resolution skills, and emotional management skills. Students learn to develop a good EQ which is to recognize their own feelings and notice other people’s feelings. They learn how to manage their strong emotions in healthy ways. We also build resilience skills which is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties in life. Early Years and Primary Year students also learn about the Body Safety lessons and self-protection skills.
