PROJECT
FINISHED
Lifelong Learning at Lammi aims at helping Tavastia Education Consortium/Lammi Upper secondary School teachers and students to address the following important issues: how to enhance the internationalisation of a small rural upper secondary school, how to help combat early school leaving and how to bring new ideas into the classroom so that both high and low achievers find their studies worth while and meaningful.
Three members of the staff are applying for a grant to do job shadowing sessions abroad, Miss Lyytinen and Mr Karjalainen in the UK and Mr Elomaa in Italy. Miss Lyytinen, an English teacher, is looking forward to assisting a teacher teaching French as a foreign language as well as a teacher teaching English as mother tongue. Mr Elomaa, an Art teaches, wishes to acquaint himself with the high quality art tuition in Italy. Mr Karjalainen's aim is to update his ICT based Mathematics teaching methods. All three teachers will make themselves useful in the hosting schools in every possible way, participating in the planning of the lessons, working in the classroom, attending staff meetings, providing worshops in their respective skill areas and disseminating information about Finland.
These three visits will make a huge impact on our small school and our community. The school website, magazine, info-TV, morning assemblies, teacher-parent meetings, local media and library will all be used to disseminate information about the visits abroad.
As for long term benefits, bonding more closely with schools that we have already had cooperation with will be easy and bring good results - one doesn't need to start everything from a scratch.
