Synopsis "Teach Like Finland: 33 Simple Strategies for Joyful Classrooms"
Finland shocked the world when its fifteen-year-olds scored highest on the first Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a set of tests evaluating critical-thinking skills in math, science, and reading. That was in 2001; even today, this tiny Nordic nation continues to amaze. How does Finnish education--with short school days, light homework loads, and little standardized testing--produce students who match the PISA scores of other nations with more traditional "work ethic" standards?When Timothy Walker started teaching fifth graders at a Helsinki public school, he began a search for the secrets behind the successes of Finland's education system. Highlighting specific strategies that support joyful K-12 classrooms and can be integrated with U.S. educational standards, this book, available in paperback for the first time, gathers what he learned and shows how any teacher can implement many of Finland's best practices. A new foreword by the author addresses the urgent questions of teaching, and living, in these pandemic times.
