Teacher practice, here I come..

Teaching practice, here I come..

It´s finally time to start officially with my teaching practice. First I had a plan that I´ll make the observation part of the practice in OAMK and my teaching part in Haaga-Helia in Helsinki. But plans are just plans and also this original plan changed a bit. As I got a new job and I´m going to start with it in a month I decided to divide my training period in two parts. The observation part I´ll start now and the real teaching part I´ll do in autumn.

I started to find out a suitable teacher contact from OAMK and especially from International Business programme. Accidentally I chose the first name in the list and called Ms. Katja Aalonen. I was lucky to get into contact with such a great teacher who was immediately ready to take me to the lessons.
We planned together that I could do the observation part in March and continue with my teaching part in autumn. I was very happy and excited to get into real lessons again.

Originally I was planning to do my teacher practice abroad but with two kids and a new job it seemed to be a bit too challenging. But I´m sure that doing this practice in international programme and with international students I can get the same great international atmosphere and aspect into my practice.

I´m very happy to start with the teacher training. I´m looking forward to getting great learning experiences and motivation for my own teacher career. You´ll get to know about my experience in next posts.
