Between Monday 30th March and Friday 24th April I had SCHOOL PRACTICE at HERTUG HANS SKOLE(http://www.hertughans-skole.dk).It is a public school (folkeskole)in Haderslev and I spent there full three weeks on practice - both on observing and teaching.
On Thursday 26th March, before the practice, I was there at the meeting with my tutor-teachers. I have to say that I was very nice welcomed and introduced to the school. I had never had a practice at lower secondary school before (! eventhough I am in the 3rd year of my teacher studies in the Czech Republic - we had had just few observations in a couple of lessons - however, no teaching!!!) Therefore one of my first questions was - what is expected from me? And to my surprise the answer was - nothing. I asked how much should I teach, what should I do in the lessons, when to start teaching etc... And Morten, my Music-teaching tutor told me that - there is nothing I have to do, but I will be very welcome to bring my ideas, to prepare some activities with pupils, to be creative and open. If I have some ideas, just bring them - we can speak about that and I can realize it in the lesson.
Wow, this attitude I hadn´t expected, it was very surprizing for me. And that brought me so much motivation! Really! :-)
So I was looking forward to my practice very much. The practice was also one of the reasons why I had chosen Denmark and UCSyd to study - to have a practice which I really lack in my teacher-study in the Czech Republic.
I got my schedule:
Monday 8:15-9:45 Music in 6.b (with Morten Kanstrup)
10:15-11:45 Danish in 5.a (with Tanja Grau)
Tuesday 8:15-9:45 English in 6.b (TG)
10:15-11:45 Music in 5.a (MK)
Wednesday 10:15-11:45 Music in 5.b (MK)
Friday 10:15-11:45 English in 6.a (TG)
So from Monday 30th March - go for it! :)
