Pasi Sahlberg, author of <em>Finnish Lessons: What Can the World Learn About Educational Change in Finland?<\/em>, recently wrote an article for the <em>Washington Post<\/em> on what lessons Finland is unable to teach the US.\u00a0 Excerpts from his article are below.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the last decade, Finland has become the go-to place for education reformers all around the world. The main reason is its success in the international survey comparing 15-year-olds in reading, math and science learning called PISA (Program for International Student Assessment). Since that OECD report, I have been privileged to meet legislators, administrators, teachers, and parents here in the United States. Anywhere I go, people are eager to hear about Finnish education and its accomplishments. Especially, they want to know what they can learn from it.<\/p>\n<p>What I have to say, however, is not always what they want to hear. While it is true that we can certainly learn from foreign systems and use them as backdrops for better understanding of our own, we cannot simply replicate them. What, then, <em>can\u2019t<\/em> the United States learn from Finland?<\/p>\n<p>First of all, although Finland can show the United States what equal opportunity looks like, Americans cannot achieve equity without first implementing fundamental changes in their school system. The following three issues require particular attention.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Funding of schools<\/em>: Finnish schools are funded based on a formula guaranteeing equal allocation of resources to each school regardless of location or wealth of its community.<\/li>\n<li><em>Well-being of children<\/em>: All children in Finland have, by law, access to childcare, comprehensive health care, and pre-school in their own communities. Every school must have a welfare team to advance child happiness in school.<\/li>\n<li><em>Education as a human right<\/em>: All education from preschool to university is free of charge for anybody living in Finland. This makes higher education affordable and accessible for all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As long as these conditions don\u2019t exist, the Finnish equality-based model bears little relevance in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Second, school autonomy and teacher professionalism are often mentioned as the dominant factors explaining strong educational performance in Finland. The school is the main author of curricula. And the teacher is the sole authority monitoring the progress of students.<\/p>\n<p>In Finland, there is a strong sense of trust in schools and teachers to carry out these responsibilities. There is no external inspection of schools or standardized testing of all pupils in Finland. For our national analysis of educational performance, we rely on testing only a small sample of students. The United States really cannot leave curriculum design and student assessment in the hands of schools and teachers unless there is similar public confidence in schools and teachers. To get there, a more coherent national system of teacher education is one major step.<\/p>\n<p>[\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>Teaching in Finland is, in fact, such a desired profession that the University of Helsinki, where I teach part-time, received 2,300 applicants this spring for 120 spots in its primary school teacher education program. In this teacher education program and the seven others, teachers are prepared to design their own curricula, assess their own pupils\u2019 progress, and continuously improve their own teaching and their school. Until the United States has improved its teacher education, its teachers cannot enjoy similar prestige, public confidence and autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>Third, many education visitors to Finland expect to find schools filled with Finnish pedagogical innovation and state-of-the-art technology. Instead, they see teachers teaching and pupils learning as they would in any typical good school in the United States. Some observers call this \u201cpedagogical conservatism\u201d or \u201cinformal and relaxed\u201d because there does not appear to be much going on in classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>The irony of Finnish educational success is that it derives heavily from classroom innovation and school improvement research in the United States. Cooperative learning and portfolio assessment are examples of American classroom-based innovations that have been implemented in large scale in the Finnish school system.<\/p>\n<p>Those who are looking at Finland\u2019s education system as a possible model for reform in the United States point out, quite correctly, that our two countries are very different. In these comparisons, one critical difference is often overlooked that is also essential to understanding what our two countries can or cannot learn from one another.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, education is mostly viewed as a private effort leading to individual good. The performances of individual students and teachers are therefore in the center of the ongoing school reform debate. By contrast, in Finland, education is viewed primarily as a public effort serving a public purpose. As a consequence, education reforms in Finland are judged more in terms of how equitable the system is for different learners\u2026The former is driven by excellence, the latter by equity.<\/p>\n<p>[\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>What Finland can show to others is how equity and equal opportunity in education look like. However, school reformers in the United States need to be careful when considering equity-based reform ideas to be imported from Finland. Many elements of Finnish successful school system are interwoven in the surrounding welfare state. Simply a transfer of these solutions would add another chapter to already exhausting volume of failed education reforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To read the full text, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/answer-sheet\/post\/what-the-us-cant-learn-from-finland-about-ed-reform\/2012\/04\/16\/gIQAGIvVMT_blog.html\">http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/answer-sheet\/post\/what-the-us-cant-learn-from-finland-about-ed-reform\/2012\/04\/16\/gIQAGIvVMT_blog.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finland, with its high-achieving public schools, has been held up as a standard for the US as we slog down the path of education reform.\u00a0 However, are there things we can\u2019t learn from Finland\u2019s model?
