When planning the educational process, ways, methods and forms are sought to make it more interesting not only for students but also easier for teachers. The school has a career education coordinator who prepared a program and coordinated the meeting times, the teachers and class leaders only needed to help with the implementation.
During the career education activities, students in grades 5-10 got to know various professions, met with their representatives, learned about study opportunities and trends in the labour market.
Joint activities and holidays of the school staff are planned. When teachers spend time together, they have an opportunity to talk to each other, share their thoughts and feelings. In this way, they can see that teachers are not alone in facing various difficulties at work. It has already become a tradition to go to the seaside of Latvia every year at the end of the school year, to participate in education activities. This year we visited the Shiitake mushroom farm in Jelgava. It was an opportunity to look around the farm, learn the secrets of mushroom cultivation, taste fresh Shiitake mushrooms and enjoy a wonderful mushroom soup. After the educational activities, it was the relaxation on the beach.
In June, the teachers of the primary education group participated in district methodological activities in Žagarė. During it, the teachers remembered or learned anew the history of Žagarė, visited the park and the Naryshkin manor, got acquainted with the activities of the Gymnasium, and searched for treasures with hints. The rest of the hour was spent in the Factory of the Scarecrows and in the Oasis of Peace of Barbora Žagarietė.
Before Christmas, an afternoon “Nature Sounds and Music Therapy” was organised by candlelight, followed by tea and cake.
Teachers, who have recently begun to work, are assigned mentors, this reduces the anxiety and stress for the new teacher, knowing they can turn for help at any time.
