Staff place responsibility with the schools to adapt to meet the needs of the child. Staff have received university preparation and continued staff development about specific adaptations that can be made. Teachers have a high sense of self-efficacy. They view neither the students, the parents, nor themselves as problems. Given enough time, or resources, they feel they can teach the content to the student.
Staff see themselves as innovators.
Assessment Teachers and the principal monitor student progress. Assessment is conducted in the native language when appropriate. Testing is used for diagonostic purposes, to target help for studnets, not to justify inaction.
