CURRICULAR ACCOMODATIONS IN TURRIALBA

Last Thursday, March 31, 2011 we started a serie of professional sessions to discuss about curricular accommodations and their applications in our schools.
It is particularly important for TOFSL (Teachers of English as a Foreign Language) since there is little information among teachers of this language, and maybe of other languages too on how to cope with students with special needs.
It was quite interesting how Professor, PhD. Gilberto Hernández explained a new vision of how people acquiere knowledge.
A pyramid that includes (from bottom to top)
1. Noise
2. Data
3. Information
4. Knowledge
5. Aplication (tailor-making, customizing)
This makes a lot of sense due to the exposure of students to everyday "noise" and the rest of the pyramid components to reach their goals(and their teachers').
