Mary Immaculate College (MIC) is hosting its MIC Thurles Summer School virtual summer school from 15 – 17 June.
The event will reflect on the past year and explore how education has changed and adapted in a year unlike any other and will also investigate ways in which teachers can improve the learning and life chances of young people at primary and post-primary level.
MIC Thurles Summer School
The MIC Thurles Summer School is aimed at teachers, researchers, student teachers, parents, support service and policymakers, as well as anyone with an interest in exploring how teaching and learning can be improved.
Renowned international educationalists Pasi Sahlberg, the former director general of the Finnish education system, will explore the future of schools and teacher-powered education systems, as well as exploring how Finland’s trust-based school system works in practice.
And Michael Fullan, the Global Leadership Director at New Pedagogies for Deep Learning and former Dean of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, will focus on his recent publication, ‘The Right Drivers for Whole System Success’, in which he explores, among other topics, the importance of Wellbeing and Learning.
