PSYCHOPEDAGOGY

HEALTHY COEXISTENCE

he school has a coexistence plan as well as a coexistence committee with its respective intervention flow towards any situation that could damage the integrity of a student. Likewise, the campaign “For a healthy coexistence” (antibullying), and activities fostering values such as kindness, respect, tolerance, empathy, peace, and friendship are carried out. In these activities, the entire Lincoln community is integrated: students, parents, teachers, administrative personnel, maintenance staff, and personnel in charge of the school shuttles.

TUTORIAL PLAN The tutorial plan aims at providing students with a comprehensive education which promotes the acquisition of knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes, and actions favoring their socio-emotional development to competently function in a globalized world. For such purpose, the plan is based on 4 working areas: identity, risk behaviors, interactions, and active life, in which the attributes of the IBO profile (respect, tolerance, empathy, creativity, assertiveness, etc.) are immersed.

GUIDANCE Guidance, counseling, and permanent monitoring of students and parents. Our counseling service is offered from the nursery stage, when tutors or parents refer their children to solve difficulties at a behavioral, emotional, or attitudinal level. At each grade of studies, psychological and psychopedagogical tests are applied according to the child’s grade requirements and difficulty, basically to know our students’ profiles. These results are delivered to the parents through a report and a meeting where guidelines on the results are given and general recommendations to reinforce the required area are provided. Our department also offers personalized information with vocational tests, personality tests, aptitude tests, assessments of learning styles and study habits, as well as conferences at the most important universities in our country and abroad.

WORKSHOPS

Workshops for parents, grandparents and nannies.
Through individual interviews, parents are provided with counseling in order to improve the dynamics and integration in the relationship with their children, parenting guidelines or any other support depending on the problem they have. Likewise, School for Parents sessions with current topics are scheduled and renowned specialists are invited to share the best alternatives for personal or family improvement, or for overcoming specific difficulties.

Furthermore, workshops are offered to nannies in relation to the work they do at home with our students, and to grandparents for their legacy and company which are meaningful to their grandchildren.
In coordination with the Headquarters of Welfare and Training, workshops are held for parents of Nursery, Primary, and Secondary School Levels with a series of lectures on health, addressing current issues such as “Self-esteem and nutrition”, “Prevention of emotional health”, and “Importance of sports in the development of children and adolescents.”

Finally, as a psycho-pedagogical team, we always seek to optimize the school life of our students by promoting their learning and enhancing their integral development, taking into account that the goal is to achieve integrity, sensitivity, and responsibility in a changing and demanding world like the one they have to live in.

FIRST-AID ROOM The school has a First-Aid Room for our students and collaborators. Among the areas, we have a reception/triage, a doctor’s office, and a room for procedures to assist with greater comfort the highest number of patients who come daily. The first-aid room has been equipped with new and modern medical instruments and equipment. We have equipment for cardiopulmonary resuscitation: Automatic External Defibrillator (AED), breathing equipment, and oxygen cylinders; equipment for immobilization and transfer of patients like stretchers, wheelchairs, collars, slings, pneumatic splints, and a first-response suitcase duly equipped for such emergencies. The first-aid room is also provided with medicines and basic items that are necessary during emergencies. It should be noted that we are one of the few schools to have a doctor, a nurse, and a nursing assistant trained to deal with emergencies, and, in general, to assist students, collaborators, and visitors that may need immediate support during their stay at the school facilities. An important aspect of the service offered by our first-aid room and its personnel is the report delivered to parents through the SIANET Information System regarding the assistance given to their children. Parents receive such information on their cell phones instantly, in addition to the written note students are given for each medical assistance. It is important to mention that, depending on the case, the information to the parents is also provided by telephone when necessary.

CAFETERIA The school cafeteria service is provided by a concessionaire company. This year, JURGEN SERVICE S.A.C. is in charge of the service. They sell their own products: drinks with quinoa, hot chocolate, coffee, different kinds of sandwiches (chicken sandwich, avocado sandwich, mixed sandwich, etc.). In addition, the cafeteria offers a lunch service, which is scheduled monthly with the previous approval of the school nutritionist. The menu includes an entrée (starter) or soup, two options for the main course, a dessert or fruit, and refreshment. There is also a diet menu and a soft diet.

INSURANCE Student Income Insurance: In the event of death of the insured parent, the student income insurance guarantees the continuity of the student’s school education up to the fifth year of secondary level. It also has additional coverage for the parent or guardian, such as a coverage for serious and terminal illness, hospitalization, and payment of overdue tuitions. Accident Insurance Our students are protected by an accident insurance.

EXTRACURRICULAR WORKSHOPS

SPORTS Our sports workshops complement the comprehensive education that the school offers its students. The sports offer includes athletics, basketball, baseball, football, gymnastics, ludo-motricity, taekwondo, table tennis, and volleyball at recreational, formative, and leisure levels through different workshops, and at a competitive level through the school teams which participate in the ADCA and ADECORE associations. For us, as lincolinos, sports are essential in our integral formation. At a physical level, sports not only improve endurance, speed, coordination, strength, balance, spatial orientation, and laterality, but also strengthen values such as responsibility, commitment, perseverance, team work, respect, and tolerance. Anyone who wants to be part of our family will have the possibility to practice various sports in safe spaces (modern infrastructure), with trained professionals and appropriate materials.

ARTISTIC

Our school is concerned with providing a comprehensive education to its students, for which the area of extracurricular art workshops has been created. This area organizes a variety of workshops given after regular school hours, daily from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. For this purpose, a staff of specialized teachers has been selected for each workshop.

From each artistic discipline, creativity is enhanced through very enriching processes for the student.

Through the workshops, the practice of values is fostered and this helps students to discover and develop their own individual capacities through which their interpersonal relationships can be improved. Students’ motivation and self-esteem are also enhanced as they develop personal qualities based on the activity they engage in according to their preferences, all of which stimulates socialization and the sense of cooperation.

The workshops offered are:

Cartoons and comics
Guitar
Bijouterie and handmade jewelry
Modern dance
Robotics
Yoga
Dances for preschool kids
Musical instruments: tuba, trombone, trumpet, clarinet, euphonium, transverse flute, and percussion instruments.

Participating in these activities, students show their progress in exhibitions and artistic presentations where parents and relatives can appreciate their achievements.

STUDENT PARTICIPATION

COES The students’ council (COES) is an important institution in our school organization because it is intended to develop in our students the skills of leadership, negotiation, and active participation by promoting in all its activities democracy, freedom with responsibility, as well as a genuine interest for fairness, equality, and hard work for the benefit of their peers, who through an informed vote are the ones electing members to represent them during the school year. The proposals of the COES respond to the need of carrying out activities not only for the benefit of their peers, but also for the benefit and support of the community. This will eventually develop in students a sense of altruism, empathy, and social responsibility.

Sustainable Development The Elective Workshop of EDS (Education for Sustainable Development) is a course belonging to the area of sciences. The workshop program, as its name implies, educates for sustainable development, which means that it incorporates the fundamental topics of sustainable development and global interest to teaching and learning. These topics include climate change, the depletion and hole of the Ozone layer, acid rain, disaster risk reduction, biodiversity, poverty reduction, and sustainable consumption. Likewise, the workshop allows students to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values necessary to become world citizens concerned about forging a sustainable and encouraging future for our planet. It also requires collaborative methods of teaching and learning that motivate students and give them autonomy in order to change their current vision and facilitate the adoption of measures in favor of sustainable development. To this end, the EDS elective workshop promotes active skills such as critical thinking, the elaboration of hypotheses for the future and the collective decision-making. The course develops scientific knowledge allowing students to research, understand, and explain the world where they live in. Moreover, students reflect on their daily eating habits and identify health and environmental problems related to their health. Under the slogan “you are what you eat”, students apply scientific knowledge and propose different solution alternatives. A healthy eating approach should be understood as the way to consume adequate amounts of food from all food groups in order to lead a healthy life and minimize environmental impact. To carry out this plan, students make an exhibition in the dining room, showing preparations, types, and risks of consumption of different foods, indicating the nutritional content and the appropriate consumption of such foods.

TALENT SUPPORT

MATH TALENTS The course is intended for 6th and 7th grade students who have demonstrated a highly developed ability for mathematical operability, problem solving, numerical reasoning, and the establishment of special relationships. The course focuses on the area of mathematical reasoning. Its objective is not the acquisition of new content, but the enhancement of the numerical and spatial abilities of the students. Some of the topics covered in this course are successions, mathematical operators, posing equations, counting figures, counting principles, decision tables, numerical distributions, operations with real numbers, among others.

ENGLISH NEXT LEVEL In order to meet the varied needs of our students, the Coordination of the Middle Years Program promoted the creation of workshops for those who show more skills in certain courses. The Language Acquisition Advisory is promoting the English Next Level program, where more complex topics and skills are developed in order to achieve the highest score in the Cambridge assessments. These assessments are administered in 7th grade with the PET for Schools exam and in 8th grade with the FCE for Schools, respectively. The students that belong to these groups have demonstrated in their qualifications a high potential and, under this condition, they are invited to take one more step towards the next level of English: NEXT LEVEL. With the same purpose of meeting the needs of our students, the reinforcement workshop called Reinforcement Cambridge Classes has been implemented. This workshop develops topics that were not very clear in the process of learning the English language for the abovementioned grades, always within the framework of Cambridge international assessments.

ADVANCED MATHEMATICS The course is intended for 8th and 9th grade students who have an interest in taking the mathematics course at a higher level in the Diploma Program. The course has been designed in such a way that it deepens the contents of the Middle Years Program and, at the same time, introduces new contents that reinforce the necessary skills for students to be able to successfully face the demands of the higher level of mathematics. Among the topics developed in this course, we can mention: fractional exponents, natural logarithms, numbers in different bases, formulas and graphs of the sine functions, cosine, logarithmic and rational, nonlinear inequations, transformations of functions, geometry of three-dimensional coordinates, similarity and congruence, vectors, sine and cosine theorems, trigonometric relations, trigonometric circle, conditional probability, etc.
