Professional development

Explore the course for professional support in your role as a Kompetansepluss teacher. The course and information are published by HK-dir; the original source is in Norwegian.

Start with situations learners actually encounter: a message, a calculation or a digital form. Simplify the task where needed while keeping its connection to work.

Adults bring experience, strategies and skills that teaching should build on. Explain why a task is useful, allow learners to influence the lesson and provide safe opportunities to practise and reflect.

Connect vocabulary and language functions to workplace situations. Combine oral and written support. Use HK-dir resources for further study.

Use clear language, visual support and different ways to participate. Let learners use their languages to explore concepts and build bridges to Norwegian.

After a lesson: Who participated? What became easier? What hindered learning? Choose one change for next time and discuss your experience with a colleague.
