Vision or plan for entrepreneurship education

Our value is expressed as follows: Attitude is the key to success. This is our main message for all our students.

We put emphasis on student ownership in all studies, methods used in learning. All our networking with the society is built in such a way that students are challenged to test their skills.

In our school management, we have a team which is responsible for carrying out and developing entrepreneurship education. As a subject we have a volunteer course in this.

All our projects are planned in such a way that they could support our aim to support student ownership.

Resources to encourage and support entrepreneurship education

• Payment for the coordinator.
• Payment for volunteer course.
• Payments for some extracurricular exercises.
• Payments for teachers to take part in teacher training courses.

Focus on student centred learning, integration in different subjects

This is our main way to work. So it is part of all the subjects. And also teachers and subjects do teamwork, so if something does not happen exactly in some subject, subjectteachers will be using some hours of their teaching time in fulfilling our curriculum with some more general issues. External partners are involved in many ways. We have quite permanent partnership with a shopping center (nextdoor neighbour) and Rhytm music centre. We take part in regional development work together with foodcompanies on this area, our aim is to make this to become a foodprovince. Some smaller and shorter projects do arise all the time, and we do some community work with many local associations.

Evaluation of entrepreneurship education and learning and by whom

We have taken part in three projects where we have developed tool to measure enterprise education.

Now everybody can use the one that is for personal use.

As a principal, I use the one we developed under quality in school -project.

Please give examples

For media: Around Valentine's day there is an article about our partnership with the shopping centre.

All the other partnerships are built in such a way that there will be publicity when something special happens.
