Editor's Notes
- #2 Discussions about what constitutes World Class School system; Goal was to ask questions and engage policy leaders, university professors, headmasters, classroom teachers and students in conversations about the strategies and practices that have a positive effect on the learning environment for all stakeholders, ones that we could replicate without changing our governance model or social welfare structure. Their conversations are framed as “these are the possibiities….”
- #3 Paternity benefits full to partial pay; subsidized child care; health care….50% of every Euro earned Flat organization structure that lends itself to autonomy Changes at Parliamentary level have no impact on Education Policy Leaders at Ministry of Education -- regional directors focus on PD -- headmasters and teachers -- no LEAs (school committees) or department heads Movement from equality to equity Discuss Sisu (see’so) -- beyond grit; not just a matter of digging deep when confronted with a challenge; part of their inner fortitude and constitution; don’t ruminate; move on…. no English translation; no Finnish translation for accountability
- #4 Trust in Teachers is a product of credentials Master’s degree + minimum 300 European credits; focus on pedagogy and research-based requirements. Write multiple formal thesis papers -- equivalent of Knowledge Acquisition Modules written precursor to a dissertation 8000 applicants to teacher program; 800 study places. Read 4-5 research based articles 250 pages plus each (1 month to read) All applicants take paper test and answer 1 question; not much space; well constructed have 4 hours to finish -- not text or concept specific 100 objective questions Make it to next round Interviews -- open ended -- tell us what you’d like us to know about …. 300 credits; 70 research based -- grades 1-6 $4500 Euros month -$59,000 per year U.S. Education system does not develop deep thinkers and students
- #5 Parallels to EGSD Strategic Priorities Everyone is eager to learn….note / developing vision:
- #6 Written by a consortium of stakeholders finished June 2015 Provocative by design-- How did you do in school -- what are we measuring Portfolios Transferable skills -- College and Career Readiness PBL; grant applications movement from equality to equity whole child
- #7 Work ensuing on two critical parallel tracks; vision 2025 work and national core curriculum effective 2016; tenets became basis of national core curriculum
- #9 75 minute lessons; 75 courses; 50 similar --25-40 school decided ICT labs will be removed.
- #10 Backwards design model is backward
- #13 Export entrepreneurial spirit Did with our pedagogy
