Finnish Lessons: What Can the World Learn from Educational Change in Finland? by Pasi Sahlberg

4.0

Great read to learn more about the highly-touted Finnish educational system. I was struck by a number of things as I read this book. The struggles and complaints that Finns had while transforming their educational system are similar to ones heard in the United States, yet, admittedly, Finnish culture and political structure ARE very different from ours. Also, Finland was not always so successful. I'm struck by just how opposite the vision and practices are in Finland to here. I think educators and educational leaders could learn a lot from this book.
