25 March, our group has been in secondary school, where we saw new subject like "Home economics" which consist chemistry, home economics, art. This subjected orientated on the practice work. Also up bringer student's ethicist behavior.       

On the afternoon we was in the upper-secondary school Riihimaki Lukian, where we met with Head master and young teacher (Aleksi Lahti). He introduce for us about Ipad in education   

Meeting with Seija

At the beginning she describe for me about HAMK, PTEU staff. In the PTEU unit work 80 employee and each staff has developing program. Also she said they “Demand” and each staff important for PTEU unit.  

It was so interesting for me and I ask question about new  national curriculum for Finnish school and how they prepare teachers for working with new curriculum.  Teachers union takes part early in the planning for teachers. They improve own skills, knowledge throw courses, seminars, support materials.

Perhaps in the new curriculum will be include new subject and for this subject University prepare the course where could study teachers and students.

Also she shows me HAMK education strategy 2010 - 2015, where I find out many interesting area.

In addition she shows national committee for teaching staff development where I find out step by step teacher development process. This process separate for teacher’s experience period and what kind of development environment influence for career development.

On the whole our conversation gets practically and cognitively.  I will be waiting eagerly next meeting. 

About Kauriala school

Kauriala upper secondary school one off the biggest school in the Hame area. In the Kauriala school study 580 students from 9 to 12 grade.
3-th March, Principal of Kauriala school represent for us general information about his school. In the school teaching 32 teachers I think for 580 students it is so extremely hard work. Also in the one class room study approximately 40 students, so big class and to my mind not so effectively for teacher and students to.
Additionaly he told about management team in the school, team work consist of the four groups which every year change, for team influence annual goal and I think this experence very well for targeted tasks.
Also for me interested teacher recruiting process, Head master choose which candidate suitable for this case. Also he may invite for intervyu vice-principal, subject teachers and student. His criteria for candidate teacher work experience, team work and volanter experience.
