To what extent is the course linked to guideline of English curriculum in Taiwan

Like most teachers, I've been to many different kinds of seminars or workshops in order to bring in new thoughts, activities or pedagogy to my teaching, my students and my school. Some of the sessions were short like 2 to 3 hours. Some last for weeks or even years. The conductors or the trainers are mostly experienced teachers or writers of curriculum. What they shared in their sessions were all valuable to me and it didn't occur to me until I read this article regarding to evaluation of the curriculum and training approach in Flanders. (Martin Valcke, Isabel Rots, Marjolein Vereke, Johan van Braak). We may attend to great programs but not connecting what's learned to the guideline and at the end it turns out to be out of shape or it turns out to be brillient but still some kind of obscure not knowing where it pins to after some time. What do you guys think?
