Everything you need to know about the Learning Support Specialists (Inclusion) community

About

Supporting students with additional needs in international schools often means working at the intersection of pedagogy, policy, and advocacy. This community is for learning support specialists navigating diverse systems, limited resources, and growing expectations around inclusion. Members explore practical questions—how to collaborate with teachers, engage parents, and work within school-wide behavior frameworks, while also examining specific learning profiles and needs. Whether you're building a new programme or refining existing practices, this is a space for reflection, honest dialogue, and shared problem-solving. The focus is on strengthening both professional confidence and student outcomes through peer connection.

Meet Your Hosts

Bronwen Jones

Believing that being an educator is a privilege, and being an International educator even more so, Bronwen Jones takes daily inspiration and joy from the students and teachers that she interacts with. A life constantly advocating for educational opportunities, exploring ways to develop resilience and for celebrating success, whether this success being a student being able to deliver a presentation on their own, or remembering to bring their calculator to class, or for writing a well-crafted essay following the rubric given. If that success helps a student gain greater confidence, it is a meaningful step to acknowledge. Breaking down barriers to learning remains Bronwen’s passion, and she hopes to continue exploring learning opportunities for all, with her co-host Sarah Emberger this year. 

Sarah Emberger

Sarah Emberger began her journey as an inclusion champion as a language teacher and SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator). She has led innovation and change initiatives in Inner City London Schools and worked strategically with curriculum leaders and teachers to ensure students with additional needs received high-quality teaching and individualized support programs that allowed them to succeed. Student-centred review processes and a tracking system for interventions were introduced as part of these efforts. In her current role, she works with BML (Bi- and Multilingual Learners) and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) students. In liaising with SLT, she offers targeted PD sessions to further develop best practice and successful support for all learners.
