Necessidades De Aprendizagem: Lá Por Fora

~ Paulo Guinote ~ Deixe um comentário

Cansado da doutrinação propagandística de grande parte da formação feita por cá, mais interessada em justificar um diploma específico do que em proteger os alunos com maiores problemas relacionados com a aprendizagem, ando a ver o que há lá por fora (através de um curso da Canvas Network sobre “IEPs from A-Z: Understanding Individualized Education Plans”) e a explorar a legislação que lá se fora tem produzido como é o caso do IDEA (Individuals With Disabilities Education Act) que me parece um pouco mais objectivo do que o nosso famoso 54.

Yeah. Just kidding.

Photos of Danish children returning to school while staying six feet apart highlight the country’s cautious approach to lifting its lockdown measures

Os dados sobre os novos casos e novas mortes por covid-19 (gráficos de barras) são pouco conclusivos, pois enquanto o número de novos casos se mantém com oscilações, houve picos de mortes a 25 de Abril e 1 de Maio.

Duvida

(já agora, quanto à Suécia, para menos casos confirmados do que em Portugal, há mais 2,5 mortes)
