Consequently, in training, they are trained how to prepare the materials and write the lesson plans. They are also trained how to conduct the teaching and learning
process and asses the students’ tasks. However, teachers of SBI classroom should not only master English but
also be capable of using ICT facilities during the teaching and learning process. In training, they learn how to use and operate ICT facilities and how to use internet
network. Moreover, at least 20 of SBI teachers should be post graduated.
1.8 The Goal of SBI Program
Nowadays, the development in technology and information access becomes faster and faster. Most of technological tools are presented in English so the need of
English is getting greater. Indonesia has the low quality of the schools’ graduates in the mastery of
science, technology and English. It is because they have limited knowledge on the English written learning sources. They do not have a chance to learn how to use
the technological advances and information. Only a few students who have more money are able to buy and use them. Consequently, they cannot optimize the
technology based learning sources to support their learning process. As one of the solutions to the problems, the government has imposed a
policy to improve the students’ quality in the mastery of science and technology by establishing International Level School SBI in elementary school, junior high
school, senior high school and vocational school. This school is aimed to increase the education quality in Indonesia in order to compete internationally. Therefore,
SBI among other programs is established to improve the Indonesia’s education quality in terms of the students’ mastery of English, Mathematics, Science and
ICT in order that they have competitiveness in the global world. International Level School is designed to fulfill three indicators 1
characterizing insights nationality, 2 empowering the full potential of intelligence multiple intelligences and 3 increasing global competitiveness.
Besides vision, there is also mission of SBI. Mission of SBI is designed to serve as references in preparing developing plan of program activities, indicators for
this mission can be summarized into SMART 1 specific, 2 measurable, 3 achievable can be achieved, 4 realistic and 5 time bound obviously time
coverage.
