During your teaching practice at Vasa Övningsskola, you will become acquainted with its school culture and basic values. You will do supervised teaching practice, which is an important element in the teacher training programme. The role of the supervised teaching practice is important in order for theory and practice to be able to interact in the best possible way during your training. At the teacher training school, you will have professional supervisors during your teaching practice. You will receive both individual instruction and instruction in groups. You will reflect on your teaching practice together with your supervisors.

Instruction and education are both part of the teaching profession. To gain an insight into what is included in a teacher’s work, you may take part in everything that happens in the school, such as days devoted to particular themes, events, activities during breaks and student welfare work.

Your time at the teacher training school should reflect the reality you will meet when you go out to work as a graduated teacher.
