The "Finnish Lessons" is an experiential, analytical description of how Finland built its world-class educational system over the past three decades. The author outlines the evolution of educational policies in Finland and emphasizes the significant differences from the policies of the United States and other industrialized countries.
It shows how educational reforms in Finland, instead of relying on competition, choice, and external testing of students, focus on professionalism, the development of educational leadership in schools, and strengthening trust in teachers and schools.
This book details the complexity of educational change and encourages educators and policymakers to develop effective solutions for their own areas and schools.
"It is time to dismantle the ideology of uniqueness in the United States and other Anglo-American nations if we are to develop reforms that will truly inspire our educators to improve learning for all students—especially those who struggle the most. In this essential quest, Pasi Sahlberg is undoubtedly one of the best teachers." (Andy Hargreaves, Lynch School of Education, Boston College)
