How has this been working in Oppland?

Gjøvik
Utgangspunkt Vg 1 Design og håndverk - matematikk Jenteklasse Mange ønsket å bli frisører Lav motivasjon Lavt oppmøte Dårlig klassemiljø
Vi vil ha en sterk, trivelig coach med relevant yrkeserfaring fra frisøryrket A la Gorden Ramsey fra frisørverdenen Fant Nikita-arvingen Linda Sandåker
MATTEENERGI!!! Mål for prosjektet: Bedre klassemiljø Få elevene til å ta ansvar for seg selv og andre Økt motivasjon Bli bedre i matematikk
Gjennomføring 2 x 1,5 dag: Motivasjon / coaching: «Oppvåkning» Matte inn i frisørbransjen
Resultat Motivasjon: Arbeidsinnsatsen har økt Karakterer: Snitt fra 2,1 4 (1. prøve) Neste prøve: Snittet har nesten holdt seg ( 3,8) Fravær: De med middels og lavt fravær har fått mindre fravær, mens de med høyt har fått høyere Sosialt: Var spydige og ufine med hverandre og med lærerne i begynnelsen. Har bedra seg voldsomt: «Vi har ikke dårlig klassemiljø lenger»
Erfaringer vi tar med til neste gang: Viktig å planlegge dagene for å få mest mulig ut av dem Viktig å involvere kontaktlærer Viktig at lærer og elever blir kjent / får tid sammen Viktig å sette av tid: Rydde timeplanen Viktig å fastsette ressurser til økt tidsbruk ved oppstart
