Introduction: yes, we can (learn from one another) -- Finnish dream: equal educational opportunities -- Finnish paradox: less is more -- Finnish advantage: the teachers -- Finnish way: competitive welfare state -- Is the future Finnish?
Taces the evolution of education policies in Finland and highlights how they differ from the United States and other industrialized countries. Shows how rather than relying on competition, choice, and external testing of students, education reforms in Finland focus on professionalizing teachers' work, developing instructional leadership in schools, and enhancing trust in teachers and schools. --from publisher description
