This structured course is designed for teachers, head teachers, principals and other school staff who would like to learn about the Norwegian education system, which is regarded to reach a higher level of general education than the European average.
The course has a general focus on the Norwegian education system although the pedagogic encounters with schools are focused on Primary and Secondary levels. However, participants working with other educational levels may also benefit from the general approach of this course.
This 7-Day Structured Course efficiently combines pedagogic encounters with schools, seminars, workshops, and field learning projects to places of natural, historical, and cultural significance. This will provide pedagogic insight for participants and ideas for development of teaching resources for their students. All these elements will help you to better understand the education and culture of a society with a welfare system which is considered one of the best in the world.
This study visit is part of the Irish American Educator Initiative, giving American teachers the opportunity to experience education in action across Europe.
