Why research matters- Dinner Te Haerenga

Professor Claire McLachlan – Thursday 10 September

Professor Claire McLachlan is one of our newer Rotary Cambridge members and brings with her an extensive background in education, teaching, and research.

Claire has spent much of her career exploring how children learn and the experiences that help set them up for success. Her academic work spans early childhood and primary education, and she has worked alongside educators and researchers to contribute to our understanding of teaching and learning in New Zealand.

At our upcoming meeting, Claire will give us an insight into her current research project in primary school education – sharing a little about the work being undertaken, what they are learning along the way, and why the research matters.

It will also be a great opportunity for us to learn a little more about Claire, her work and the passion for education that has shaped her career.
