and

33
02:21:43,095 --> 02:21:47,095

36
02:21:54,712 --> 02:21:56,128

37
02:21:56,128 --> 02:21:57,661
I did

38
02:21:57,661 --> 02:22:00,541

for 9 years at the school

42
02:22:12,851 --> 02:22:15,802
and the topic that I presented this

43
02:22:15,802 --> 02:22:16,599
a specialist education program

44
02:22:16,599 --> 02:22:20,364

47
02:22:27,002 --> 02:22:30,479
so like I

48
02:22:30,479 --> 02:22:34,479
the slides that I did present

49
02:22:35,623 --> 02:22:36,476
about like 2 years ago and we're talking give you a little background

50
02:22:36,476 --> 02:22:39,495
of like

51
02:22:39,495 --> 02:22:43,495
what I have done and how we started

52
02:22:44,510 --> 02:22:48,510
I have my interest in special need like would be like

53
02:22:48,519 --> 02:22:50,024
19 years ago when I worked at the social worker

54
02:22:50,024 --> 02:22:53,391
in New York

55
02:22:53,391 --> 02:22:57,391
I have a chance to like you know take some cases

56
02:22:59,598 --> 02:23:02,948
and work with kids with special needs who have like autism and ADHD

57
02:23:02,948 --> 02:23:06,948
and some obliged some learning disabilities

58
02:23:08,979 --> 02:23:11,095
and within that keeping that in mind when I came back to Thailand as a head of school

59
02:23:11,095 --> 02:23:13,260
of an International School

60
02:23:13,260 --> 02:23:16,103
which is quite like

61
02:23:16,103 --> 02:23:17,485
accept only like

62
02:23:17,485 --> 02:23:19,797
highly

63
02:23:19,797 --> 02:23:23,797
dynamic student

64
02:23:24,679 --> 02:23:26,999
like and then like at the International School like 17 years ago

65
02:23:26,999 --> 02:23:29,123
like so we start a special

66
02:23:29,123 --> 02:23:32,824
program to help the kids

67
02:23:32,824 --> 02:23:34,244
is like I need like a special like educations

68
02:23:34,244 --> 02:23:38,244
and special care

69
02:23:38,251 --> 02:23:39,824
so then as like I mentioned earlier

70
02:23:39,824 --> 02:23:41,832
bye

71
02:23:41,832 --> 02:23:43,115
in the introduction

72
02:23:43,115 --> 02:23:47,115
like

73
02:23:50,600 --> 02:23:54,600
of you here Mike like work with the special need kid because it's like you love

74
02:23:54,829 --> 02:23:58,767
of the the populations

75
02:23:58,767 --> 02:24:00,415
or maybe like you know your expertise in the area

76
02:24:00,415 --> 02:24:04,415
but

77
02:24:06,580 --> 02:24:10,580
school that I'm working right now is like accidentally

78
02:24:12,472 --> 02:24:16,472
we adopt uh like almost 100 specially kids in 1 time

79
02:24:18,055 --> 02:24:22,055
so like uh I stepped into a high school that was in crisis

80
02:24:24,811 --> 02:24:28,811
and almost be closed down is a private school run by the church the Catholic Church

81
02:24:28,969 --> 02:24:32,158
and because the decreasing number of the enrollments

82
02:24:32,158 --> 02:24:33,258
so like uh I try to you know

83
02:24:33,258 --> 02:24:37,258
highlight

84
02:24:39,061 --> 02:24:42,886
bring up the school and redeem it hopefully like it will still continue

85
02:24:42,886 --> 02:24:46,886
and after a few years like they're 1 of the

86
02:24:47,751 --> 02:24:49,139
school with a lot of special need kids plan to close down

87
02:24:49,139 --> 02:24:53,139
because

88
02:24:53,254 --> 02:24:57,254
the number of the special needs case increasing

89
02:24:57,621 --> 02:25:01,621
why like the regular student like not coming to the school anymore

90
02:25:02,445 --> 02:25:04,099
so like uh the reputation of the school is kind of like become like

91
02:25:04,099 --> 02:25:05,192
Theory special need

92
02:25:05,192 --> 02:25:07,270
School

93
02:25:07,270 --> 02:25:11,270
so

94
02:25:13,064 --> 02:25:17,064
when did that happen the the owner of the school would like to close down the school

95
02:25:17,198 --> 02:25:21,198
and the owner like this know how to handle it at the time

96
02:25:23,786 --> 02:25:27,485
so I kind of offer myself to talk to the parents and the student and they said I

97
02:25:27,485 --> 02:25:29,188
you know would love to welcome all the student

98
02:25:29,188 --> 02:25:33,188
to my

99
02:25:33,985 --> 02:25:37,116
with the special discount 50% off for the first year

100
02:25:37,116 --> 02:25:40,106
because they need to adjust and adapt themselves

101
02:25:40,106 --> 02:25:44,106
and also like talk to the parents

102
02:25:45,085 --> 02:25:48,647
come to our school in 1 time

103
02:25:48,647 --> 02:25:49,672
so it's not easy it's quite challenging

104
02:25:49,672 --> 02:25:53,672
and

105
02:25:54,327 --> 02:25:58,010
I think that the kind like the the platform for me to

106
02:25:58,010 --> 02:25:59,627
learn more about special education

107
02:25:59,627 --> 02:26:03,627
not only in theory

108
02:26:05,116 --> 02:26:07,808
but also in practices and also in managing a school with

109
02:26:07,808 --> 02:26:11,023
uh great number of special need kit

110
02:26:11,023 --> 02:26:12,768
so like uh within that

111
02:26:12,768 --> 02:26:16,444
like I like you know

112
02:26:16,444 --> 02:26:19,859
look into like how we start you know like

113
02:26:19,859 --> 02:26:23,134
like it to grab the understanding

114
02:26:23,134 --> 02:26:27,134
of like a different area like parents

115
02:26:28,893 --> 02:26:32,602
you know like because parents of special need kid also like wanted to make sure

116
02:26:32,602 --> 02:26:34,371
that the teacher that administrators on also

117
02:26:34,371 --> 02:26:38,371
student

118
02:26:38,715 --> 02:26:42,715
will be friend with the student with their kid will understand

119
02:26:45,444 --> 02:26:48,812
especially kit right and also the rumor that okay that might damage the school

120
02:26:48,812 --> 02:26:52,812
then we accept too many special need kids

121
02:26:53,199 --> 02:26:54,655
and also within the changes with about the school

122
02:26:54,655 --> 02:26:57,216
parent also

123
02:26:57,216 --> 02:26:59,164
the parent of regular student

124
02:26:59,164 --> 02:27:03,164
have a lot of concerns

125
02:27:05,589 --> 02:27:07,040
that the quality of learning and teaching at the school might be dropped down because like we have to

126
02:27:07,040 --> 02:27:11,040
you know career more

127
02:27:11,393 --> 02:27:15,393
for the special needs kid and also the parents

128
02:27:15,501 --> 02:27:19,498
of regular kid also have the concern about behaviors

129
02:27:19,498 --> 02:27:23,498
of the special need case because the the study or typing

130
02:27:25,041 --> 02:27:26,109
right of the specialist kid that they might like act out during the classroom and the class

131
02:27:26,109 --> 02:27:27,680
management

132
02:27:27,680 --> 02:27:30,097
may I have a lot of problems

133
02:27:30,097 --> 02:27:34,097
tissue also

134
02:27:34,850 --> 02:27:38,850
you know like when I accept almost 100 special naked in 1 time

135
02:27:41,106 --> 02:27:44,144
many teacher quite upset you know and they said they're not ready that don't know anything about special

136
02:27:44,144 --> 02:27:47,421
and in accepting

137
02:27:47,421 --> 02:27:49,575
get formed at school I also you know

138
02:27:49,575 --> 02:27:51,323
taking the teachers

139
02:27:51,323 --> 02:27:53,457
from that school also

140
02:27:53,457 --> 02:27:57,457
another 20 teachers

141
02:27:58,229 --> 02:28:01,152
from the school also that come along with the student because we are aware that

142
02:28:01,152 --> 02:28:02,968
special needs kid also you know they don't want

143
02:28:02,968 --> 02:28:06,968
must change

144
02:28:08,759 --> 02:28:12,759
mean in the environments and people that they like know and get used to

145
02:28:12,991 --> 02:28:14,643
and also a lot of teacher I think this is a burden some

146
02:28:14,643 --> 02:28:16,861
when you have

147
02:28:16,861 --> 02:28:19,093
too many special needs kids

148
02:28:19,093 --> 02:28:22,529
and

149
02:28:22,529 --> 02:28:26,529
I would like to point out some of the challenges

150
02:28:27,301 --> 02:28:29,093
when a school with about 300 students

151
02:28:29,093 --> 02:28:30,687
and 1/3

152
02:28:30,687 --> 02:28:32,840
of the population

153
02:28:32,840 --> 02:28:36,840
special need kids

154
02:28:37,529 --> 02:28:41,529
and this have been around almost like 5 to 6 years

155
02:28:43,905 --> 02:28:45,305
and these are the challenges and I you know like categorize the challenges

156
02:28:45,305 --> 02:28:48,953
on the most to the least

157
02:28:48,953 --> 02:28:52,953
and the most challenges is administrators

158
02:28:53,919 --> 02:28:57,919
and the next 1 parents teacher communities and student

159
02:28:59,860 --> 02:29:02,528
first 1 I would like to talk about like within the school

160
02:29:02,528 --> 02:29:04,121
like generally they want to be

161
02:29:04,121 --> 02:29:07,440
be recognized

162
02:29:07,440 --> 02:29:10,978
by the success in academics

163
02:29:10,978 --> 02:29:14,978
in the resolve and generally

164
02:29:15,568 --> 02:29:19,568
we measure the resolved by the what uh standard die test

165
02:29:22,375 --> 02:29:26,375
like for in Thailand right we talking about like own net or whatever or you talking about the success how like kids

166
02:29:26,642 --> 02:29:30,642
go to colleges after they graduate from high school

167
02:29:31,082 --> 02:29:35,082
and also the the list of learning and teaching along the year

168
02:29:36,753 --> 02:29:38,288
within like with keeping this in mind inspire a big challenge for

169
02:29:38,288 --> 02:29:42,288
administrators

170
02:29:44,986 --> 02:29:46,880
um I live in on myself so like I quite like you know disregard the

171
02:29:46,880 --> 02:29:49,970
solve I mean about

172
02:29:49,970 --> 02:29:52,036
they standardized test

173
02:29:52,036 --> 02:29:56,036
and try to

174
02:29:56,683 --> 02:30:00,683
point out you know the success like from day to day

175
02:30:00,811 --> 02:30:04,811
and I you know later on I will give you uh some of the examples

176
02:30:05,057 --> 02:30:07,715
this like around 5 years that I work with kids

177
02:30:07,715 --> 02:30:10,157
how like administrator

178
02:30:10,157 --> 02:30:14,157
and breathe and

179
02:30:16,703 --> 02:30:19,110
you know celebrate the success of their student not through the the the testing resolve

180
02:30:19,110 --> 02:30:23,110
through the web keep going

181
02:30:24,867 --> 02:30:28,867
but you know by the recognizing like a little step of the development

182
02:30:30,347 --> 02:30:31,810
along the way that kid with us and also you know like

183
02:30:31,810 --> 02:30:33,337
ready to

184
02:30:33,337 --> 02:30:37,337
recognize

185
02:30:39,371 --> 02:30:40,136
when they slow down or even step back in their developments

186
02:30:40,136 --> 02:30:44,136
also

187
02:30:45,499 --> 02:30:47,575
and this also like something to do as administrator talking about the

188
02:30:47,575 --> 02:30:48,728
Finance of the school right

189
02:30:48,728 --> 02:30:52,728
and

190
02:30:53,932 --> 02:30:55,381
that's good and I'm working with the private school which is like finance and

191
02:30:55,381 --> 02:30:58,026
you know benefit

192
02:30:58,026 --> 02:31:00,719
would be 1 of the the key

193
02:31:00,719 --> 02:31:04,711
uh factors that we consider

194
02:31:04,711 --> 02:31:05,764
that uh keeping in mind like I try to like you know

195
02:31:05,764 --> 02:31:07,854
like not

196
02:31:07,854 --> 02:31:09,890
put in that the priority

197
02:31:09,890 --> 02:31:13,890
but

198
02:31:18,073 --> 02:31:19,425
what that we would like to recognize is more of the success of the kids award and Grading this kind of thing that

199
02:31:19,425 --> 02:31:20,690
I try to you know

200
02:31:20,690 --> 02:31:24,690
body like

201
02:31:24,829 --> 02:31:27,260
don't look at it and also like a focus on

202
02:31:27,260 --> 02:31:28,816
this is a big challenge

203
02:31:28,816 --> 02:31:31,896
for administrators

204
02:31:31,896 --> 02:31:35,896
when you have to communicate this to the parents

205
02:31:37,088 --> 02:31:38,519
when you have to communicate with the parents that that the success that

206
02:31:38,519 --> 02:31:40,657
by a recognized

207
02:31:40,657 --> 02:31:44,657
by the

208
02:31:45,340 --> 02:31:49,340
Society General become a secondary for us

209
02:31:50,663 --> 02:31:54,663
and they always ask like what's the the owner score what the standardized

210
02:31:55,974 --> 02:31:59,974
score and mediset going and would like to do the resolve

211
02:32:02,211 --> 02:32:03,546
for example like uh a week ago you know like in Thailand we have like OPEC

212
02:32:03,546 --> 02:32:07,546
you know the

213
02:32:09,400 --> 02:32:13,400
organization that come and to evaluate and accredit the school right

214
02:32:14,099 --> 02:32:15,700
so like uh they come to our school and they like look into all

215
02:32:15,700 --> 02:32:16,418
skull and everything

216
02:32:16,418 --> 02:32:19,626
but

217
02:32:19,626 --> 02:32:23,626
it's not quite you know impressive for them

218
02:32:25,563 --> 02:32:29,563
but we show them that like the the how much effort and commitment that

219
02:32:31,038 --> 02:32:32,960
good in like working with the kids so this is ADD administrator part

220
02:32:32,960 --> 02:32:35,886
that be like need to to

221
02:32:35,886 --> 02:32:39,886
learn how to see the result

222
02:32:39,991 --> 02:32:41,352
the success in working with special need kid

223
02:32:41,352 --> 02:32:43,682
parent also

224
02:32:43,682 --> 02:32:46,350
when I'm talking about parents

225
02:32:46,350 --> 02:32:48,771
when you're talking about

226
02:32:48,771 --> 02:32:52,771
special need case

227
02:32:52,879 --> 02:32:56,879
you could say like there are special parents also

228
02:32:57,643 --> 02:32:59,394
I'm not like talking about internal of the difficulty in handling them

229
02:32:59,394 --> 02:33:03,394
but they're special

230
02:33:04,143 --> 02:33:07,621
the special the special in the way that how much they love the kids

231
02:33:07,621 --> 02:33:08,729
and how much that the uh like concern

232
02:33:08,729 --> 02:33:09,611
about

233
02:33:09,611 --> 02:33:10,522
the kids

234
02:33:10,522 --> 02:33:14,522
future

235
02:33:14,762 --> 02:33:18,762
and also like they afford and their expectation

236
02:33:19,959 --> 02:33:23,959
this is 1 of the key issue that I would say working with special need kids

237
02:33:25,048 --> 02:33:27,826
I think like uh the the main task

238
02:33:27,826 --> 02:33:30,911
is more with the parents also

239
02:33:30,911 --> 02:33:34,911
it take 5 number of hours

240
02:33:37,033 --> 02:33:39,105
to sit down and discuss with them address the concern and bring them

241
02:33:39,105 --> 02:33:42,650
to the the understanding

242
02:33:42,650 --> 02:33:46,125
I would like to give just very clear example

243
02:33:46,125 --> 02:33:48,513
like uh we just have a a school trip

244
02:33:48,513 --> 02:33:52,513
like a group of the student

245
02:33:53,732 --> 02:33:57,732
and some of the kids that we have meet you know with special needs and regular kids

246
02:34:01,011 --> 02:34:05,011
and we will put Kylie around the neck a scarf that okay leave your identify that the special need kid

247
02:34:07,063 --> 02:34:07,873
in order to you know like allow the staff or the bus driver or the

248
02:34:07,873 --> 02:34:09,350
people

249
02:34:09,350 --> 02:34:11,655
the

250
02:34:11,655 --> 02:34:14,710
go along with that on the trip

251
02:34:14,710 --> 02:34:18,710
will recognize that this specialist

252
02:34:20,477 --> 02:34:24,477
and we allow some parents of the special need kid that come come along with the trip

253
02:34:28,184 --> 02:34:30,056
and Mom give me a call and a bit upset that's a why she on the trip why do we need to identify

254
02:34:30,056 --> 02:34:34,056
done at a special need kid

255
02:34:36,054 --> 02:34:36,695
so I told her that it's not for you to identify your son especially you know that your

256
02:34:36,695 --> 02:34:38,157
special

257
02:34:38,157 --> 02:34:40,574
but the identify him

258
02:34:40,574 --> 02:34:43,583
for other people within the team

259
02:34:43,583 --> 02:34:47,367
that we recognize him and give him Special Care

260
02:34:47,367 --> 02:34:51,367
and you know after like a few minutes of like

261
02:34:54,841 --> 02:34:56,225
very very Stern voice of the mom you know and she said that oh she have to learn

262
02:34:56,225 --> 02:34:59,401
things are new

263
02:34:59,401 --> 02:35:03,401
because it's not about that you know

264
02:35:04,353 --> 02:35:06,958
like Stella or typing or labeling of her kid

265
02:35:06,958 --> 02:35:08,056
but also like we all really

266
02:35:08,056 --> 02:35:12,056
want to help

267
02:35:13,403 --> 02:35:17,403
and to support and in recognizing that it not only for her but for everyone

268
02:35:21,329 --> 02:35:22,992
and when we recognize it it doesn't mean that to put the kid down but it's also like that give us a signal that

269
02:35:22,992 --> 02:35:26,992
ready to help

270
02:35:29,888 --> 02:35:32,608
that the parent like spend more and more on the children in education

271
02:35:32,608 --> 02:35:36,414
and many of them are in denial

272
02:35:36,414 --> 02:35:39,224
okay this 1 is the key issues

273
02:35:39,224 --> 02:35:43,224
then why like working with parent

274
02:35:45,355 --> 02:35:46,512
of special need kids like we have to I have to call like meetings and workshop with them

275
02:35:46,512 --> 02:35:48,657
from time to time

276
02:35:48,657 --> 02:35:52,149
I found this

277
02:35:52,149 --> 02:35:52,775
it's very interesting about a specialist parent

278
02:35:52,775 --> 02:35:56,775
list

279
02:35:57,263 --> 02:36:01,263
you know like they all make a list of the expectation

280
02:36:02,038 --> 02:36:04,484
and if you work in a school have 100 special need kids

281
02:36:04,484 --> 02:36:08,484
then you have to like sit down

282
02:36:08,952 --> 02:36:12,952
talk to them on the phone read that text message and emails
