COUNSELLING & LEARNING SUPPORT (CLSD)
The department focuses on three basic domains:
Academic
Development,
Personal/ Social Development and
Career
Development.
Counselling helps students recognize and cope with social,
behavioral and personal problems and helps them improve their
personal and academic performance through a variety of highly
effective techniques. Preventive counselling encourages students
to deal with problems before they transpire.
As the spectrum of career choices available is vast,
making the right choice is a tough decision. Counselling ensures
that arriving at a career is a matter of choice, not of chance.
Students are helped to identify their interests, aptitude,
potential, and personality. The students are encouraged to spot
their career goals based on their skills, interests, and career
possibilities. The department guides the students to choose the
right career path, provides them with details of courses,
entrance examinations and other related matters.
INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
Our Own English High School, Fujairah recognizes Students of
Determination [SoD - those with Special Educational Needs and
Disabilities (SEND)] and Gifted & Talented students (G &
T) as fully participating members of a community of learners.
All students should have equitable access to learning,
opportunities for achievement, and the pursuit of excellence in
all aspects of their educational programs. To provide a holistic
and inclusive learning environment, the school has adapted an
inclusive education set up where equal opportunities are given
to learners in a least restrictive and non-segregatory
environment.
The department consists of the Student Counsellor and
Special Educator who function in collaboration and consultation
with Teachers, Supervisors, School Doctor and Parents. Parents
should get assessment done when requested by the
C L S D and submit assessment reports accordingly.
