Alfie Kohn Australian Tour
Alfie Kohn presents a series of educator and parent talks in NSW, SA and VIC in November.
Alfie Kohn writes and speaks widely on human behavior, education, and parenting. His 14 books include Punished By Rewards (1993), The Schools Our Children Deserve (1999), The Case Against Standardized Testing (2000), Unconditional Parenting (2005), The Homework Myth (2006), and most recently, Schooling Beyond Measure (2015).
Kohn has been described by Time magazine as America's "most outspoken critic of education’s fixation on grades [and] test scores.” His criticisms of competition and rewards have helped to shape the thinking of educators -- as well as parents and managers -- around the world. He has appeared on numerous TV and radio programs, including two appearances on “Oprah.” He lectures widely at universities and to school faculties, parent groups, and corporations, as well as speaking at staff development seminars and keynoting education conferences.
