Mid-Year News Update
If things have looked quiet on the FNI website, you’ll be pleased to know that this is because we’ve all been incredibly busy helping great learning communities to emerge or become better in new places all over the world. Right now we are very busy in the Arctic Circle; Saskatchewan, Canada; Melbourne Australia; Malaysia; the United Kingdom, Kazakhstan and Florida.
EFEI news
We are anticipating the launch later this month of GoodSchoolDesign.com, a portal for our new and improved Educational Facilities Effectiveness Instrument (EFEI). The new interface is extremely user-friendly and automates the process of recording and presenting evaluations, including photographs! You can go to GoodSchoolDesign.com now to take a peek at the portal and find more about EFEI.
Publications
In February, we were published in the Australian Education Union’s Victorian journal, Professional Voice, and in March had an article in Voices in Urban Education — published by Brown University’s Anneberg Institute for School Reform.
We were also invited to contribute an introduction to the School Libraries Association of Victoria’s new publication, Rethink! — you can learn more about it and find an order form here.
