Åskolen: first impressions

First photo of the school

Staffroom. A projector for meetings, comfortable seats, and some high seats and desks for work.

Some resources in the staff room

Kitchen. Each day, a different team is on clean up.

Principal's office connected to the staff room

Good set-up

Lars getting ready for the morning. Lars doesn't normally use his office, but instead shares the office with the rest of management team.

In schools here, whenever there are stairs, there must be a lift also.

Norwegians enjoy their coffee, so a good coffee machine is a must

Many options 

Hallway with offices for the teachers. In Norway, teachers must have an office space of 2.5m squared per person. This gives them their own personal area to work outside of the classroom

Offices for the Year 1 teachers

Offices for learning assistants

Offices for another year level

I will get the opportunity to go into a class and share about schools in New Zealand. I am excited to go have a look.
