He’s the author of Testing 1, 2,3: What Australian education can learn from Finland, and this month teacher, writer and tragic Midnight Oil fan Michael Lawrence joined other educators in Orange, NSW, to take teachers through a one-day session of a Finnish perspective to education.
The personal development session, which is the first of its type in Australia, was developed in conjunction with the Tampere University of Applied Sciences in Finland. The single-day suite of lessons was designed by staff from Tamepre’s Education Faculty and was pitched at Australian teachers.
In addition to learning during the session, participants received a free copy of the Finnish Teacher Digital Toolbox, containing sample lessons, a socio-constructive lesson building app, and a comprehensive outline of the Finnish education system’s character and achievements.
