Reviews
"Finnish Schools gives me hope that there is a middle way, a way to educate children formally so that it benefits them and drives them as well, without destroying the spark that makes learning such fun in the first place. If we can implement even a few of the ideas used in Finnish schools in British schools, I'm sure we can create a better and fairer education system for all." --Zion Lights, "Sahlberg's work is enlightening in that it espouses an education system that is different from many other systems in advanced countries across the world and provides solid background on the historical context that allowed Finland's education system to transform into a powerhouse." --Education Review, "Finnish Lessons 2.0 is compelling and well-written. It will be of particular interest to those involved in developing education policy, although the book is also highly accessible and should be recommended reading for principals, teachers and parents - even in Finland." --Limina: A Journal of Historical and Cultural Studies, "For both educators and non-educators alike, Finnish Lessons 2.0 poses provocative ideas for reflection when contemplating the necessary inputs that contribute to educational success." --Teachers College Record, "What I find encouraging in Sahlberg's book is his recurring note that no matter how dismal a country's system may seem, there is hope and room for reform." --Philippine Daily Inquirer, "If you are interested in how to help your students be better citizens and part of a dynamic society, please read Finnish lessons 2.0." --British Journal of Educational Technology

Synopsis
Sahlberg has thoroughly updated his groundbreaking account of how Finland built a world-class education system during the past four decades. In this international bestseller, Sahlberg traces the evolution of Finnish education policies and highlights how they differ from the United States and much of the rest of the world., The first edition of Finnish Lessons won the prestigious Grawemeyer Award in Education in 2013. It was featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New York Review of Books, The Atlantic, The Guardian, CNN, Education Week, The Huffington Post, and Dan Rather Reports and has been translated into 16 languages. Now, with Finnish Lessons 2.0 , Pasi Sahlberg has thoroughly updated his groundbreaking account of how Finland built a world-class education system during the past four decades. In this international bestseller, Sahlberg traces the evolution of Finnish education policies and highlights how they differ from the United States and much of the rest of the world. Featuring substantial additions throughout the text, Finnish Lessons 2.0 demonstrates how systematically focusing on teacher and leader professionalism, building trust between the society and its schools, and investing in educational equity rather than competition, choice, and other market-based reforms make Finnish schools an international model of success. This second edition details the complexity of meaningful change by examining Finland's educational performance in light of the most recent international assessment data and domestic changes. In the midst of continuous local reforms and global changes, Finnish Lessons 2.0 encourages educators, students, and policymakers to look beyond their own borders as they seek successful solutions for their education systems, districts, and schools. International Acclaim for the first edition of Finnish Lessons : "Sahlberg speaks directly to the sense of crisis about educational achievement in the United States and many other nations." Diane Ravitch in The New York Review of Books, March 8, 2012 "This book will give hope, vision, and strategies to anyone who is sincere in bringing a great education to every child. Pick it up and read it." John Wilson in Education Week, May 9, 2012 "Sahlberg's book contains important insights for a broad range of academics, educators, politicians, and the public." Henrik Saalbach in Science, Vol. 336, June 2012 " Finnish Lessons is an important book and educators need to read it." Gaea Leinhardt in Educational Researcher, 41(7), 271-273, September 2012 "Every educator and every parent in America should read Pasi Sahlberg's book, Finnish Lessons ." Howard Gardner in The Huffington Post, September 30, 2012 "Kills 99.9% of GERMs" Niall MacKinnon in Times Education Supplement, November 11, 2011 "Simply put the one must read to begin to understand how Finland has built perhaps the world's most successful educational system over the past few decades." Kenneth Bernstein in Daily Kos, December 29, 2011 "His new book, Finnish Lessons , tells the story of educational reform and change in Finland over the past fifty years and as he tells the story, it becomes less miraculous and more obviously the outline of a purposeful, thoughtful, and coherent strategy for school improvement." Jon McGill in Baltimore Curriculum Project, March 7, 2012 " Finnish Lesson s provides insight into the historical context which underlies Finland's educational success. It sounds too good to be true, and for countries that lack the same degree of social capital, it may well be. Nonetheless, there's no doubt that all nations could benefit from taking some pages from Finland's play book." National Council of Teacher Quality, March 30, 2012 "Pasi Sahlberg, in his landmark book Finnish Lessons , makes the point that Finland's development of extensive student achievement

    This delivery was earliest date! Condition, value, quality - all as described. (My mistake was not requiring the publishing date to be 1958. This was 1977.) This IS a Viking Portable Library copy of Dante's Divine Comedy in English, translated by Laurence Binyon, but it is with a cover DIFFERENT from what was shown. The tracking number was listed as from "UPS", but should have been listed as from "USPS." Contact with this seller alleviated tracking issues. I recommend this seller! Thank you!

    Arrived 13 days after purchase. Digipak 3 CD came in brown paper packaging coated on the inside. Not much protection for cardboard digipack, somehow it arrived in near perfect condition. Could have used some bubble wrap /sturdy cardboard. Tracking gave no information. Messaged them & they assured me it was on it's way. Location reads Florida. They ship from all over / my package read Jamaica, NY. Got a 3 CD Deluxe Edition in GREAT CONDITION at BARGAIN PRICE ! Nervous ride/Happy ending 😀👍
