SMART GROWTH
The name “Smart Development” is not accidental. It refers to the ability of a child or a group of children to develop and advance their abilities and skills with the help of education and experience. In practice, the term “smart development” includes the understanding of goals, strategies and the search for elements that can improve any situation through the effort for continuous improvement and development of the individual.
But what are competencies, and what is the difference between them and skills? Competencies are a general set of qualifications while skills are a specific set.
Competencies include abilities and talents at the academic, social, physical and mental levels. Furthermore, in competencies we should take into account the values that a person has developed in his life. Skills, on the other hand, are specific abilities, particularly developed and staffed in a person's life.
The goal of Smart Development is to enhance both the abilities and skills of each child. But how can this be done when each child is different? In Smart Development, we have divided skills and abilities into 3 levels. For each level, we have developed comprehensive programs. After discussing with the parents or guardians of the students, we recommend the appropriate program for each child.
But what happens when a child presents great heterogeneity in his abilities and skills? In this case, the child can follow a combination of integrated programs at Smart Development consisting of two or three different levels:
