Hello!!!! I’m
Jan Valken.
I was born in Schiedam in 1955. I lived there the most years off my
live. I was the second of five children and my father was working on a shipyard.
When I was 8 years old I already new I want to be a carmechanic. In 1974 I started to work as a carmechanic. I have bean working at
several different garages. At that time I was playing the trumpet in a large
show band. I have bean two years to the music school. I was a trumpet instructor,
and I have don the choreography for a large show. I med my wife on a vacation in 1982. We get married in 1983. In
1987 I moved white my wife to Krimpen a/d IJssel.
In 1988 my son Bart was born. In

people. In 1992 my daughter Lisanne
was born. In 1994 I have teach for the Innovam. In 1986 I was unemployed for a
year. Then I have bean ask to teach on the Albeda College. Then I went to study
for my 2e degree teacher diploma. I like the job that I have now. I’m teaching car mechanics at
level 1 and two. I am visiting the student on the job. I’m also busy with the
implementation of “the new way of learning”. In “the new way of learning”,
the students have to do the study in there one way. We give them a
structure to work with and we give them the opportunity to make there one
planning. Also we provide theme a time table where in the have to work. The
teacher have less to teach but more to coach. I also going to make learning guides for the student so the now
how and where to get the right information to complete successfully al there
learning assignments. We are gone make NVQ’s (National Vocational
Qualifications). National, because they have to meet the standards agreed by
employers across the country. Vocational, because they are about the work the do. Qualification, because these standards have to meet the standard
required from the people of the industry. That’s who I am and what I do Greetings Jan
