Finland shocked the world when its fifteen-year-olds scored highest
on the first Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA),
a set of tests touted for evaluating critical-thinking skills in
maths, science and reading. That was in 2001; but even today, this
tiny Nordic nation continues to amaze. How does Finnish
education—with short school days, light homework loads and little
standardised testing—produce students who match the PISA scores
of high-powered, stressed-out kids in Asia? When Timothy D. Walker
started teaching fifth graders at a Helsinki public school, he
began a search for the secrets behind the success of Finland’s
schools. Walker has already written about several of those
discoveries and his Atlantic article on this topic received more
than 500,000 shares. Here, he gathers all he has learned and
reveals how teachers can implement these simple practices, which
integrate seamlessly with educational standards.
