Designers of the courses of Finnish Active Learning

We are classroom teachers Teija Kauppi MAT (The Master of Arts in teaching) and Eija Leskinen MAT, a theatre pedagogue and nonfiction author. We have trained teachers, day school teachers and activity directors. The active learning has been a part of our teaching for our whole teaching careers. We have noticed that active learning motivates and inspires pupils to learn. Learning a new skill can become easier when it is done by playing and moving. We hope that our course would inspire and encourage more teachers to try active teaching methods. For those, who already use active teaching as one of their techniques, we want to share new ideas and make each school day even more enjoyable. The name of our company is Ideareppu / Finnish Active Learning.
