The Netherlands.
http://www.k-s-e.nl Nature, Life and Technology Nature, Life and Technology (NLT) will be a new A-level subject in secondary schools in the Netherlands from August 2007. This new subject requires teachers to step outside their disciplinary sections and to form a multi-disciplinary team which is responsible for teaching the subject. It's clear that all this means quite a different approach in organization, teaching and management . The videoconference shows the second national teachers' day in preparation for the implementation of this new subject. You will get a mixture of interviews, overall impressions and -of course- a selection of possible teaching topics. All this will be recorded and presented by students of the Katholieke Scholengemeenschap Etten-Leur (KSE). |
