Dear all,

this autumn has been extremely hectic for me and I guess for all of us:) I went to London to elaborate a project idea on leadership, I went to Brussels, Ghent and Aalst tom work on new projects and finally Iceland on a Grundtvig project called Coach, coach go! It has been great fun, too!

Tomorrow my colleague Annica Thorman will make a presentation on the project on coaching.

This way I would like to wish you all a Merry X-mas and A Happy New Year, 2013!

All the best,

Tina

Changes in the Irish Education System

Wonderful changes about to happen in the Irish Education system. Firstly, we have a new system for evaluation – School Self-Evaluation (SSE)and also a new assessment procedure for 15 year old students ( Junior Certificate). Information on SSE can be found at www.schoolself-evaluation.ie and information on the new Junior Certificate can be found at www.ncca.ie. These new systems will entail a lot of extra work but I think this work will bring about wonderful opportunities for our students.

Management in Education. Järfälla model

Järfälla is a municipality just outside Stockholm. Its education system is noteworthy because of its highly decentralised and somewhat deregulated structure. An unusually high level of autonomy is devolved to local education boards, rather than the usual much centralised structures that prevail in other countries. This trust in the individual schools is replicated in the teacher-student relationships in the schools we visited.Schools in Sweden do not try to control pupils but, instead, try to give them a strong voice in their education and develop them as independent thinkers and learners.

It was obvious from the beginning that our hosts were very experienced in hosting this type of study visit. The programme was broad and comprehensive, involving input from local experts in education, school visits, job-shadowing of school heads and presentations by group participants about their own countries.

It was also evident from an early stage that the group itself was hugely engaged in the whole programme. Participants came prepared to contribute and to learn. The presentation made by each participant was both informative and thought-provoking, often requiring the intervention of our host, Christina, to curb our enthusiasm!

At the end of the week, participants, while learning from each other, also acknowledged the positive aspects of the education systems in their respective countries.
