Classroom year 2-3
Year 2-3 student use regular computers or workbooks in Agneberg. Most of the classrooms are fitted with projectors and or overhead. There is also a whiteboard. Most classrooms are on the small side. Providing seating for about 20-30 students. Although the Child and recreation program is a VET program, most learning experiences in school is theoretical. The practical elements are situated in their APL, "work-practice" in actual working situations in the field.
Classroom year 1
Since the new School reform GY11 a lot of things have happened in the Child and recreation program as well as in most of the VET programs. The name itself “Child and recreation program” is not fitting to describe the program that has very little to do with children. It is divided into 3 main fields, Sociology, pedagogy and recreation. Such as personal training and securityguards. Many teachers was hoping for a name more in the ways of leadership and health as it would better describe the content of the program. First year student get their own laptop, something that is becoming more common in public as well as private schools is Sweden.
These are great photographs. Thank you.Your program sounds a lot like our program here in Australia.In the Technical and Further Education Vocational College here in Wagga there is a pre school attached to the College so students can get a lot of practical experience. How much time do your students spend in their APL? The reforms sound difficult. Where will the students get jobs when they finish their program?
ReplyDeleteAPL is a few weeks in year one, mor the second year and in the third year depending om the structure of the program they have 2-3 days a week in a workplace. This program is unfortunately not so much a program leading to jobs as it is leading into further studies at Uni. Although student may get jobs at daycare centers and health and fitness clubs.
