Today we hosted a group of 7 educators from Sweden who were here to look specifically at how we transition our 5 year olds into school. It is always a two way learning experience when we meet with school leaders from overseas and today proved again how much in common we have with schools all around the world.
Takeaways from today -
NZ schools are open to students significantly longer than in Sweden
Our teachers enjoy far greater professional autonomy
Our reputation for providing high achievement is world wide
Schools in Sweden are looking at digital learning - just like us
They have very generous PD budgets - this is the 4th time some of these educators have visited Pinehill
