English other language and dyslexia, bucks

[Anca]

Thank you very much! I found someone already and hope that's the right person, and it is through agency.

[Marylou]

Hope it all works out for you - good luck with your appeal!

[Anca]

So I know his CATs scores, V - 117, Quantative - 123, Non-V - 141.
Hope it will help us.

What different words can headteacher use to statement his level of support for child?

[Etienne]

123 might be all right. Is there a language problem understanding the quantitative reasoning questions?
The 141 is outstanding!

What different words can headteacher use to statement his level of support for child?

Well, the question being asked is about strength of support. Compare and contrast the following:
I support with some reservations
I support
I strongly support
I very strongly support
I support wholeheartedly and without the slightest reservation
I support wholeheartedly and without the slightest reservation ...... has great academic potential ..........

[Anca]

Yes, there is a language problem, which is describe in educational assessment.

Well, our HD put "I support"...not so good...

[Etienne]

Neither good nor bad, I would say.

Not everyone goes in to an appeal with NVR 141.

[Sally-Anne]

So I know his CATs scores, V - 117, Quantative - 123, Non-V - 141.

As Etienne says, 141 is outstanding - it is the maximum score.

As a small point at the appeal you can mention that a Verbal Reasoning test (as in Bucks) would not reveal your son's strengths where a Non-Verbal Reasoning test might have done.

[Anca]

Thank you for a good word, I fell like on a see-saw now... one minute I think that our evidence is strong, another, that is not good enough. Not easy time.

An interesting question which I've added to the Q&As:

We don't have an official system of "certified translators" in this country, though there are plenty of highly qualified and experienced translators with professional credentials who would be able to help you. I am a freelance translator and whenever I am asked to provide a certified translation I am able to self-certify as a member the Institute of Translation and Interpreting.

If you contact that organization on http://www.iti.org.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; under the "search for translator" section, choose "translators" then state your language (or the language the report is written in) as the source language and English as the target language, and under subject area choose "Humanities" then "Education and training", and you will be shown a list of translators who match your criteria and have passed a fairly stringent process to qualify for membership of the ITI. You can contact them directly, therefore cheaper than going through an agency!

If you can't find a translator this way let me know and I'll see if I can help you locate someone suitable - which language is the report in, by the way?

Many thanks for this very helpful post, Marylou.

You are now immortalised!
