Learning about the Schools in Norway 🇳🇴

The start of my week began with a day at an elementary school and a day at a vocational training school. 

At the elementary school, Os Barneskule, I was hosted by Ms. Karianne, Ms. Sigrun , and Mr. Per. 

I shared a PowerPoint about Rhode Island, Martin Luther King, junior, and his legacy today. 

LESSONS LEARNED from Os Barneskule 

*teachers stay with the same group of students for many years

*teachers have multiple preps

*students do not wear their shoes in the classroom 

*Norwegian schools face many of the same challenges that schools in the USA 🇺🇸 face:  discipline struggles, fair wages, adequate planning/prep time.

At the vocational training school, Os Vidaregåande Skule, my friend, Tone, graciously let me teach her social science class. I introduced the students to Rhode Island along with an abbreviated information session on American political parties.  

Followed by a school debate in preparation for the national election on September 11, 2017. 

KEY LESSON FOR THE STUDENTS:  Vote!
