A journalist writes an opinion piece about his child’s
education in a remote corner of Finland.
Personalized learning is implemented, but few computers/technologies are
present in this classroom. Children have
freedoms that are not seen in American classrooms, and students are guided to
self-assess and peer assess. Teams of
trusted professionals have the freedom to ‘innovate and experiment,’ and
teachers teach when have a masters in education, not after 5 to 6 weeks of
training.
This article is an overview of the best of the Finnish
teaching system. In between paragraphs
and key points links to other related articles are inserted. These articles reference overarching concerns
such as the growing achievement gap between rich and poor as recently studied in 33 countries, as well as focusing
on other countries’ educational issues: Estonia, China, Denmark.
