Pre-appointment Training for Inclusion Coordinators (ICOs)  

  • The ICO Pre-Appointment Training contributes directly towards MSF’s mission to give every child a good start and building an inclusive society. As part of ECDA’s efforts to enhance inclusion and support for Children with Developmental Needs, every preschool will be required to appoint one of its staff as an ICO, since the second half of 2023.  

  • Appointed by ECDA to deliver, this course equips and prepares ICO to collaborate with educators to flag out children with potential needs for further assessment and connect EC educators and parents to the relevant EI support and resources. 

  • It is mandatory for those who would be appointed as ICO to attend the pre-appointment training and obtain an e-certificate.

Read more on the course and registration process and check out the exciting social learning experiences curated for CoP for ICOs.
