That was in 2001; even today, this tiny Nordic nation continues to amaze. How does Finnish education--with short school days, light homework loads, and little standardized testing--produce students who match the PISA scores of other nations with more traditional \"work ethic\" standards?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Timothy Walker started teaching fifth graders at a Helsinki public school, he began a search for the secrets behind the successes of Finland's education system. Highlighting specific strategies that support joyful K-12 classrooms and can be integrated with U.S. educational standards, this book, available in paperback for the first time, gathers what he learned and shows how any teacher can implement many of Finland's best practices.
