5.7 Technical Pedagogical Regulations

● Shoes or sneakers. ● Sports uniforms and footwear specified by the Department of Physical Education are mandatory when participating in physical education class and activities that require their use. ● In swimming activities, the student is expected to wear a one-piece swimsuit, and use a cap, sandals, and towel.

Students can wear: ● Religious hats ● Hats and sunglasses (must be worn outside the classroom) ● Hoodies ● Tailor-made or altered clothing (i.e. small tears or frayed garments) ● Sleeveless T-shirts ● Sports clothing

Students may not wear: ● Items of clothing that contain violent language or images, images or language depicting drugs or alcohol (or any illegal item or activity), and/or words of hate, swear words, or pornography ● Torn clothes ● Swimsuits ● Pajamas or slippers (except on Spirit Week days, costumes, and/or Pajama Day)

The physical education uniform should be worn on days when the student participates in physical education classes or after-school activities. Physical education uniforms are available from multiple providers, and prices and quality may vary with each provider. Uniforms can be purchased directly from the Nido NPA store.

If a faculty member is concerned about the way a student is dressing, the faculty member will approach the assistant principal who will determine the following steps. Teachers and the administrative team will use positive body language to explain the dress code and will be sensitive when addressing any code violations. A parent/guardian meeting can be scheduled, and disciplinary consequences may be assigned to students who dress inappropriately for school on repeated occasions.

The International School Nido de Águilas has its own Plans and Programs. This curriculum meets both the Learning Objectives of the Chilean Ministry of Education and the United States' curriculum proposal. Our study program has been developed within the framework of a Common and Collaborative Curriculum that seeks to achieve standards of excellence and at the same time develop its own proposal aligned with our educational project.

To implement this ambitious program, Nido has a Director of Teaching and Learning who reports directly to the Head of School of the school and works closely with the Division Principals and the National Plan Director. In addition, our school has a Group of Pedagogical Technical Advisors (Learning Coaches) who support the curricular design of our courses and, through continuous improvement cycles, accompany our teachers.

Every beginning of each semester, Nido de Águilas spends several days training its teachers and working on planning. Also, every Wednesday afternoon, our faculty has a time dedicated to their professional development, which is complemented by the hours of preparation they have each week. It should be noted that all full-time school teachers have a personal fund for their professional development that allows them to train in those areas of personal interest aligned with the educational project.

Among the training that teachers receive, the following stand out:

Development of Pedagogical Competences

● Design for Learning Planning Model (UBD) ● Training for Student Centered Learning ● Training in Collaboration and Team Development ● Assessment strategies ● Specific workshops by stage of development or discipline Development of Socio-Emotional Competencies

● Child Protection Policy ● Prevention of Drug and Alcohol Consumption ● Suicide Prevention ● Orientation Program that includes topics such as empathy, conflict resolution, study strategies, among others. ● Social media

In addition, Nido has a Program called Nido Learns Together (NLT), based on the Critical Friends model and which seeks to enhance collaboration and peer learning.

Although the structures in which the Teaching Teams are organized vary according to the Division, teachers are evaluated by their Division Principals or by the National Plan Director. All this is done through a system of annual objectives, observation of classes, collaborative work and use of electronic platforms.

The Councils of Teachers and Teaching Teams are responsible for planning the classes and developing the Learning Units, based on the Learning Objectives defined by the school and in the Nido planning formats. Thus, it is also expected that the developed material will be available on the electronic platforms of each Division.

In matters of discipline or decisions regarding discipline or retention, the Teacher Councils or Teaching Teams may be called upon for consultation.
