Finland

In Finland, every Faculty of Education has one or several normal schools (Finnish : normaalikoulu) to give aspiring teachers a chance for teaching practice as a part of their academic curriculum. The schools may, depending on the type of teachers educated, offer education for pupils in age groups 7–12, 13–19 or both. Administratively, the schools are part of their universities, but the pupils for the schools are accepted as to usual municipal schools. The academic curriculum followed by the pupils is the same as in all other schools of the same type, but the normal schools frequently engage in research programs which may necessitate minor curriculum alterations.

The West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) was a collegiate athletic conference which historically operated exclusively in the state of West Virginia, but briefly had one Kentucky member in its early years, and expanded into Pennsylvania in its final years. It participated in the Division II ranks of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), originally affiliated in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) until 1995, but held its final athletic competitions in spring 2013, and officially disbanded on September 1 of that year. Its football-playing members announced in June 2012 that they planned to withdraw to form a new Division II conference at the end of the 2012–13 season; this led to a chain of conference moves that saw all but one of the WVIAC's members find new conference homes.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Normal school</span> Educational institution to train teachers

A normal school or normal college is an institution created to train teachers by educating them in the norms of pedagogy and curriculum. Many such schools have since been called teacher training colleges or teachers' colleges, but in Mexico, continue to be called normal schools, with student-teachers being known as normalistas. Many schools require a high school diploma for entry, and may be part of a comprehensive university. Normal schools in the United States, Canada, and Argentina trained teachers for primary schools, while in Europe, the equivalent colleges typically educated teachers for primary schools and later extended their curricula to also cover secondary schools.
