The Ministry of Education, Vocational Training, Physical Activity and Sports of the Government of the Canary Islands is promoting a project entitled 'Accompanying High Ability' with which it seeks to assist students with special needs, their families and teachers.
As explained this Monday in a statement, the General Directorate of Planning of Education, Inclusion and Innovation has already launched this initiative with a series of meetings open to the educational community as a whole.
The first meetings, of a workshop type, took place in the Teacher Centers (CEP) of La Gomera and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and, according to Education, will be taken to the rest of the centers of the archipelago in the near future.
In these sessions, teachers, counselors, families and students have a space in which to "enhance their resources, raise their doubts, share the same concerns with other people and receive guidelines to understand the needs" of these students with special needs in order to work on them daily both inside and outside the classroom.
In turn, a series of self-directed courses have been made available to families through the en_familia platform, where they will find differentiated methodologies and learning opportunities in three modules that allow them to "address the potential of high abilities and analyze the pillars for accompaniment".
