He had functioned as an SE teacher and an SE teacher with a broad work description both in lower and upper primary education and in the vocational sector. He had a total of eight years of professional experience in his professional domain. Before becoming a teacher, he had been working in another occupation.
The SE teacher was a new member in his main school’s teacher community, which included a school principal and 13 teachers (ten females). He functioned part-time also as an SE teacher in two smaller lower- primary schools; in one of them, one day per week, and in another, one day in every two weeks.
