Supporting Students with Diverse Needs
Night School Project
During the 2023/24 academic year, GIS collaborated with Taylor's University on a project to help develop teachers working at the different refugee centres across Kuala Lumpur. These teachers are all refugees themselves and many of them are not qualified teachers. They are, however, dedicated and committed to ensuring the children from their communities not only continue to learn but also receive the necessary social and emotional support so they could develop into well-rounded citizens of the world regardless of the adversities they face. I had the privilege to lead two six-week courses as part of the Night School project. The courses were a combination of in-person and online sessions and included visits to the centres where I worked with them in the capacity of an instructional coach.
